<p class=MsoNormal>It’s me again – Norm!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>My brother Johnny needs drool. This is what is
happening. Johnny B. Goode has been Johnny B. Bad. He thinks he is
a beaver. He eats sticks. It all started on Tuesday. Mom was
sick with a My-Grain and went to the people doctor and got a super-duper shot
that made her go to sleep. Dad woke her up and told her that Johnny
couldn’t poop. Mom said – take care of it – and she
called Granny Pat. Mom knows Dad and he doesn’t ask the right
questions at the vet’s, so Granny Pat went with him. They said
Johnny had an construction – no, that’s not right – an
obfuscation – no, not that either – he was plugged up.
Anyway, they said he had to stay there and have an enemy – why he needed
enemies when he has friends, I don’t understand. So, Dad came home
without Johnny. Johnny had to stay overnight at the vet-hospital, but our
Vet Tech friend Laura was there with him, so mom said ok. Then on
Wednesday, Johnny got to come home cause the enemies got rid of the sticks he
ate. But then on Thursday, Johnny had a tummy ache again, so he had to go
back to the vet-hospital – AND HE IS STILL THERE! The doctors say
that Johnny is plugged up bad and can’t come home until he gets
unplugged. They keep giving him enemies – Dad says they need to
call Roto-Router. Mom told Dad to shut up and go pick up all the sticks
in the yard. Mom’s headache is back – she is worried –
she is grumpy – Dad might have to sleep in the garage – hmmm –
that means I get to sleep with Mom. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Anyway, if you have any spare drool, Johnny and his tailpipe
could use some. We are sad ‘coz Johnny always plays the humpy game
with us too!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Drools to ya!<o:p></o:p></p>
