Hick has been reunited with the Ponytail Guy's meat. Friday morning, he sent me a text.
"I got chicken patties and hot dogs and some keys today I didn't take the vegetables I gave that stuff to HOS"
"Keys?"
About 30 minutes later, the phone rang.
"Keys?" Do you need the keys to the BARn? They're on the dresser."
"No. I don't need any keys. You said you got chicken patties and hot dogs and keys."
"I did? I don't know anything about any keys."
"Then what did you get? I've been trying to figure it out. What might start with a K, that you could have typed wrong. Kiwi? I even asked The Pony. He said maybe you meant PEAS, because you use that talk to text thing. So what did you get besides chicken patties and hot dogs?"
"Oh! I got some CHEESE."
"I guess that makes sense."
"I also had celery, and gave that to HOS. And a container of liquid eggs."
"Since the Ponytail Guy brings a box to whoever wants it, maybe you could get one for HOS every week. I'm sure he could use it."
"I did. He got a box just like ours, and another one that had two gallons of milk, and some cereal stuff. I drove it over and put it on his porch. He came out to get it. I think everyone else was asleep."
"Okay. Good to know. Better to know that you didn't get a box of keys..."
I would rather have cheese than keys from a food box. That made me laugh.
ReplyDeleteHeh, heh! Me too, after I realized what Hick was trying to say. At least The Pony rhymed it, and with an actual food. He's better at riddles than I am.
DeleteThey could have been keys to treasure boxes, long ago hidden by pirates, but cheese is okay too.
ReplyDeleteKeys, to pirate treasure boxes, from the Fleet of a Ponytail Guy!
