He's definitely moved out. Last time I saw the "beagle"s car in the driveway was days ago. Then I saw the movers truck. So only the "hen" lives there now.
PMiss Patti
So did the "hen" break up with the "beagle" or the "beagle" break up with the "hen"?
BBabbette
I don't know.
PMiss Patti
The poor "hen".
BBabbette
She's been through so much. I was kinda getting used to him...the "beagle".
BBabbette
He's not right for her. He's a "beagle" you know. And "beagles" belong with "beagles".
PMiss Patti
And the "hen" belongs with the "rooster".
BBabbette
Maybe.
PMiss Patti
Well, does the "rooster" know about the "hen" and the "beagle".
BBabbette
Oh yeah, Esther Tilly was in here yesterday, blabbing her big mouth off.
PMiss Patti
Oh, how did he take it. Did you see his face?
BBabbette
Oh yeah, but you know the "rooster", it's like looking at Stonehenge. I don't know what he thinks.
PMiss Patti
Oh, I hope he gets his act together because I think they're perfect.
BBabbette
I think the "hen" belongs with someone else. Like a "penguin" or an "ostrich".
I'm sorry but I can't in good conscience let this perverse conversation continue. Are you insinuating that a hen could mate with an ostrich? Because even ignoring the question of biological feasibility, it's completely morally reprehensible...How do you expect her to lay those eggs!?!?
Lorelai, your father and I have been paddling a canoe together for years, only now, he's dropped it. He just dropped it. Not only that but now the canoe is going in circles. Without your father there I'm paddling and the canoe is going in circles, and the harder I paddle the faster the canoe spins and it's hard work and I'm getting tired.
