Spring Thing

Yeti-the-Cat-Flower-Emerson

Yeti: [Happily] Oh…it’s finally spring again. There are blooming things again. It smells so good! It takes so long after they say it is spring for it to really look and feel like it.

Boo: That’s Colorado for you…it’s supposedly been spring over a month. [Sniffs and looks] It’s sure nicer than that cold white stuff.

Yeti: Cold white stuff has its place, but I couldn’t take a steady diet for sure.

Boo: I suppose your walks in the park begin soon.

Yeti: Are you going to try it again this year?

Boo: I doubt anything has changed, so…nope.

Yeti: I think you’re missing out.

Boo: Not my thing.

Yeti: Okay…but I think it might be fun to go together.

Boo: Are you saying you’re lonely without me?

Yeti: Heavens, no. Just…it would be a different experience if shared.

Boo: But you have Missus and Mister to share it with you.

Yeti: They’re not the same…they – they can’t play with me, like you do.

Boo: Aw, Lil Sis, that’s just sweet.

Yeti: [Uncomfortable] I’m not really your sister.

Boo: For all practical purposes, you sort of are. It took a long time for me to reconcile that fact, so don’t ruin it.

Yeti: I can see what you mean. So…would you try it again, just once…for me? [Makes big round blue irresistible love-the-baby cutesy eyes]

Boo: Don’t pull that look on me…I did it before you met air. Maybe I’ll just come out on the front lawn or the back patio. How’s that?

Yeti: Sounds like a compromise. Good!

Boo: I don’t promise to like it, or to let it last more than ten seconds without screaming the house down.

Yeti: [Smiling] I’ll take it!

Boo: You know that’s not a great deal, right?

Yeti: [In a sing-song voice] You’re…gonna…like…it!

Boo: I’m sure I won’t.

Yeti: I can make you.

Boo: Oh yeah? How?

Yeti: [Bops Boo on the nose, swipes at her tail and scuttles sideways out the doorway]

Boo: I’m gonna get you!

[Giggling]….
