Me: Wow! That’s a bunch of squirrels! I wonder where they’re headed.
Stella: They’re in our yard! That’s where they’re headed! They’re going to eat our food!
Me: Y’all eat inside, except for Doodlebug who prefers fresh air dining and, believe me, no squirrel is ever going to have a chance at his food.
Stella: Put up a taller fence, Lady Human!
Me: That wouldn’t do anything. Squirrels scamper up fences the way they scamper up trees. Hey, maybe they are missing the old pecan tree.
Stella: Lady Human, I demand that you build a roof over our yard.
Me: Nope.
Stella: Fine then! When you go out one day and find a pack of squirrels having tea in your lawn chair, don’t complain to me!
Me: I won’t. And I would kind of like to see something like that.
Stella: Winter boredom really has set in for you, hasn’t it?
