One for the Road

Newton: I know you’ve been waiting since last week to find out what happened with that amazing building I was negotiating for Ashton to use for her chicken emporium. It didn’t go well. The current owners didn’t want to sell. Not even when I offered them my favorite catnip toy.

Newton: I thought the news would be easier for Ashton if I brought a little something back for her. But there’s a little problem… It was a long drive back, and I got kind of hungry.

Ashton: Hey, Newton! What do you have there?

Newton: Oh, hi. I didn’t see you. Did you hear what I was saying about your chicken emporium building?

Ashton: I heard. It’s okay. I’ll find a place.

Newton: Well… this is for you. I’ve got to go. You know, realtor cat business.

Ashton: You brought me chicken? Wow, thanks! * SNIFF SNIFF * Hey, this is empty. NEWTON! Where did you go?

Ashton: He teased me with chicken? That’s just low. Lower than low.

Ashton: What do you think I should do to show Newton he shouldn’t tease me like that?

    Now that is a low trick, bringing home an empty KFC pail. It would be better to not even mention KFC if it was empty.

    Wow, Ashton, that is pretty low. I’m sure you’ll think of something appropriate to show him he shouldn’t tease you like that.

    Not even a crumb left? That is low. You can’t hurl in his shoe as he doesn’t wear any. Be creative, we’re sure you’ll think of some way to get back at him. XOCK, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo
