SILVER: Pop? What
happened? I thought we were going to the dog park?
ME: Yeah, we’re
just going to sit here for a few minutes.
SILVER: What happened?
ME: Nothing.
Nothing. What do you mean?
SILVER: Well we were
halfway across the parking lot when you suddenly stopped and sprinted back
inside.
Me: Oh that?
Well…
SILVER: I mean sprint
for you. A slightly elevated gait for anybody else.
ME: Silver, I
just forgot something that I had to go back inside for.
SILVER: Forgot, eh? I
wonder what you forgot. Would it be my leash? No, I was on that.
ME: No, not your
leash.
SILVER: The keys? No,
they were in your other hand.
ME: Could you
just …
SILVER: Hmmm… I got it!
You forgot to put on pants and you just walked across the parking lot in front
of everyone in your boxers!
ME: Silver, pop
just wants to sit here quietly for a few minutes. I will take you out soon,
okay?
SILVER: Fine. (Pause) I
wonder if that old lady across the way stopped laughing yet?
ME: Don’t know,
buddy. Don’t know.
