Did You See That?


Percy:  Did you see that?  What was it?

Marcus:  What was what?  I didn't see anything.

Percy:  It just flew by the door.  How could you have missed it?

Marcus:  My eyes can't be in two places at once.  I was looking at you.

Percy:  I cold have sworn it thumbed its nose at me.

Marcus:  I didn't know of anything that can fly and thumb its nose at the same time. Come to think of it, I can't think of anything that can fly that has a thumb.

Percy:  Well, next time it flies by, pay attention!

Marcus:  Next time it flies by, thumb your nose back at it.

Percy:  I just might do that.

Marcus:  And Cyndi thinks I don't live in the real world?



15&Meowing asked a good question:  What does it mean to thumb your nose?
 "If you thumb your nose at something, you reject it or scorn it."  (From Using English)
