Hats with Beards

Buddy:  We thought long and hard about what we are thankful for this week.

Cameron:  It's been such a busy few weeks we had to stop, take a deep breath, and put on our thinking caps.

Merci:  Don't use the word "caps" or Sam will be wanting to model a new hat.

Micah:  Yes, and something totally inappropriate for the season.

Rusty:  Probably a large woolen hat now that warmer weather is tempting us.

Sam:  I resent that.  Saying I would wear the wrong hat suggests I wouldn't wear the one I want.  I always wear the hat I want.  I just don't always want to wear it at the time you think I should.  

Cyndi:  I like your hats, Sam.  You always look so dapper and handsome with one.

Percy:  *under his breath*  You mean weird!

Sam:  What did you say, Percy?

Percy:  You need a beard.  A guy in a hat looks better with a beard. 

Sam:  I didn't know that, Percy.  I'll give a beard some thought.

Marcus:  I don't own a hat, but I wonder how I'd look with a beard.

Merci:  You'd look like a pup pretending to be an adult.  You're too young to shave. 

Buddy:  What does Marcus growing a beard have to do with Thankful Thursday?

Rusty:  I don't know.  Perhaps we should be thankful Marcus can't grow one yet.

Micah:  I thought we all agreed to be thankful for the weather?

Cameron:  Oh, right.  We're very thankful winter is leaving and we won't be seeing another snowstorm scene like the one below for a few months. 

Cyndi:  Yes, we are definitely glad winter has retreated and spring is blooming.

Buddy:  Jan is thankful she didn't have to chase Marcus down the street when she came back from shopping Tuesday.

Cameron:  Marcus has been good *cough, cough* lately, so she decided not to crate him while she was gone.

Micah:  But she forgot he was loose.  When she opened the door and walked in the house, Marcus ran out of the house, down the porch steps and turned left.

Merci:  Jan panics well but she's too old to run.  She just stood there in shock.

Rusty:  She got a second shock when Marcus suddenly turned around and ran back up the steps and inside the house.

Marcus:  I got a bit overexcited and my brakes don't work well when I'm excited.

Sam:  That's true.  Nothing works well when you're excited, except your nose.  The biggest reason you u-turned so quickly was because you got a whiff of the sandwich Jan was carrying. 

Percy:  Should we be thankful Marcus didn't run away when he had the chance?

Cyndi:  Yes.  He'll be leaving soon enough and then we'll miss him.
