Surprise! It’s Death!

Theo: ‘The snake is dead, Mama. He was our friend.’

If you have ever wondered what happens when you leave a worm on a piece of tissue, under the lid of a roasting dish, in the midday sun, let me tell tell you now that I think your energies could be put to better use on experiments that do not conclude in a lavish burial ceremony.

(It was like, crisp, you know?)

Run. And Don’t Look Back.

Theo: ‘Hello bug!’

Mabel: ‘HELLO BUG!’

Theo: ‘Oh. Don’t be scared, Bug. It’s just us!’

Mabel: ‘YEAH, BUG. IT’S JUST US!’

Theo: ‘…Where are you going, Bug?’

Mabel: ‘COME BACK BUG! BUG! COME BACK!’

Theo: ‘Good boy, Bug! Now; sit!’.
