Allie: What do you have there, Maxie?
Maxwell: Dunno, Allie, but I'm sure it's important science stuff, since papa dropped it.
Faraday: *scoffing noise* Seriouslies, Maxie? Just looks like a piece of white plastic to me.
Allie: Hm, let me take a closer look....
Allie: Looks like a zip tie to me.
Faraday: A zip tie?
Allie: I hear there are loads of uses for them. Like holding things together, sealing things securely shut.
Maxwell: Wait. You mean, like sealing our food bin from incursions by grey-and-white tuxedo cats?
I need to investigate this, stat!
Allie: *dirty look* And I thought you were the
nice brother....
