a busy lady and her fourth wall

It's a nice idea! Really. But I already have a job. [ A headtilt. ] Or two-ish. [ And another in the other direction. ] Three and a half if you count keeping the dadchildren out of trouble - which I do.

Plus there's discovering the lost city of Atlantis. [ Is she joking? Who knows. ] Find me Milo Thatch or several, you never know when they might come in handy.

I don't know. She talks and everything, but don't even think 'bout calling her a parrot.

What about a cockatiel!

Are you calling your father a cockatiel-man?

Ewwwww, stop that or no more hugs!

[ Laughter. ]

You know how to hit a man where it hurts. By the by, it's a falcon of some sort.

A falcon? [ She taps her chin. ] I can't imagine him parading around with a falcon. Just can't reconcile it in my mind. Not even a little. Did they give you a bird, or do I have to assign you one?

No bird for me. Apparently it's a living-people-only club, which is total bollocks. I'd have the most beautiful peacock, wouldn't you say?

Are you gearing up for another cock joke, Papa? I'm warning you, it will not end well at all if you are.

Actually, I was more referring to their plumage. Incredible feathers they've got. That you made the joke for me is just a bonus.

I didn't make a joke, I made a scold, it's different. I could make you a feather headdress, though, if you like.

Ooh, there's an idea. Would I get a cape to go with it?

I could be talked into it. What sort of cape would you like?

Something to match the feathers. Exotic!

Cape of live koalas, got it. You'd have to unharness them at the end of the day to feed them, mind you.

Ugh, where's the fun in that? Why not just make it some kind of feeding chain?

You can't wear your koala cape everywhere. You can't wear it to bed.

How fortunate for me that I don't sleep.

Which brings up an interesting point: would they have to be ghost koalas?

Not necessarily. I could get on with real ones for a bit.

Only a bit?

'Til I tire, anyway.

I shall take them to the playground while you rest yourself. They'd probably like monkeybars.

Be sure to show 'em the teeter-totter, too.

Insulting that you thought I wouldn't! You know me better than to think I'd pass up putting koalas on a teeter-totter.

It was only a reminder, dear. I'm sure you'd be horribly busy showing them all the things one can find at a playground.
