The Plan
by carolynholm
Hey Mom,
You left your laptop open!!!!!!!!!
Winston
Dear Winston,
I don’t like the sound of that.
Love, Carolyn
Hey Mom,
Now there’s music coming out of it!!!!!
Winston
Dear Winston,
That’s the Tord Gustavsen Trio. You must have stepped on iTunes again. I hope that’s all you did.
Love, Carolyn
Hey Mom,
There was a Word file open, and I added wse4r32@ to it.
Winston
Dear Winston,
Okay, that’s enough of that. I’ve put the laptop away. You look spring-loaded, about to take flight. What’s your plan?
Love, Carolyn
Hey Mom,
A plan????? I need a plan??????
Winston
Dear Winston,
Wreaking havoc is fun for a bit, but eventually it’s good to have a Plan.
Love, Carolyn
Hey Mom,
I was going to snuggle with Poppy, but she moved.
Winston
Dear Winston,
She’s not keen on sharing her bed. Too bad, that was a good plan.
Love, Carolyn
Hey Mom,
I can go play with the gift wrap ribbon!!!!!!!
Winston
Dear Winston,
I’ve put that away. Let’s see if we can think of a different Plan.
Love, Carolyn
Hey Mom,
Running really really really FAST!!!!!!! Through every room in the house!!!!!!! That’s my Plan. Oh, and I knocked over the fern in the living room.
Winston
Dear Winston,
Not the best outcome.
Love, Carolyn
Hey Mom,
I know Puffin’s Plan. It’s the same every day: Demand Breakfast. Eat. Nap. Eat. Nap. Eat. Nap. Demand Dinner. Eat. Nap. Announce Game Time. Play game. Eat. Nap. Eat. Nap. Eat. Nap. Then wake Mom and Dad for Breakfast.
Ta Da!
Winston
Dear Winston,
That’s our Puffin. He does like his Plan. Though I think he has a richer inner life than you are giving him credit for.
Love, Carolyn

How do you come up with all these scenarios, Carolyn? These animals/characters have all taken on a life all their own…and it’s delightful!
Thank you! It’s all based upon actual conversations, of course.
