The Best Medicine
EVA: I’m glad we’re having snuggle time. You’ve been gone a whole lot, lately.
R: Well, you know I was working with a very sick kitty. She needed help.
EVA: Did you have to take her to the hospital?
R: Yes, I did.
EVA: That’s not good. Did you give her lots and lots of smooches?
R: Of course I did.
EVA: So she’s okay now.
R: Um, well, she’s feeling better…what do you mean?
EVA: Well, everybody knows that smooches are the best medicine, so if you gave her a whole bunch of smooches she should be all better now.
R: Ahhh, I see.
EVA: Oh my-look at the time. I have to go now-it’s my turn to watch for Pete.
R: Huh? Eva, are you guys still searching for him?
EVA: Sure-every minute of every day. We have to catch him somehow.
R: We really need to talk about…
EVA: Can’t talk-gotta go.
Oh wait-first I need a smooch on the head for good luck.
Smooches are good luck too you know…
