WELCOME TO NIGHT VALE- Old Woman Josie

[olewomanjosie]

 Dear mundane:
Well, at least most of the children got out of there safe, right? That's a good thing.  
Now, would you help me with the tea while I finish making these cookies? Cecil's programme is about to begin, and you know I like to listen to it with a good cup of tea while the angels continue knitting.
Of course you can join us. And if you want, Erika can teach you.
Now let's get ready.

What are they knitting, if I might ask? [At first he considered being surprised at hearing angels could knit, but... If they can change lightbulbs then obviously they can grasp some simple needlework, right?]

[olewomanjosie]

Of course, Cecil, you may always ask. [Expect when they don't want her to answer.] They are knitting scarves, and if I may give my opinion, they are doing a great job so far.
Now, how are you?

[nightvalesvoice]

Are they cold?

I'm great! Carlos' hair has grown out completely once more so life is perfect. And of course that whole "Summer Reading Program" debacle got wrapped up for another year so that's one less worry we all have to let weigh on our minds.

[olewomanjosie]

No, they simply wanted to learn. And they asked so nicely I had to teach them. Maybe next I should teach them how to knit jumpers.

Oh, that's fantastic! Not that he didn't look perfect even without his hair, but now he will look even more perfect now that his hair is back, so I'm glad for him and for you. And I'm also glad that that thing is over for the year.

[She checks the clock] Oh, the cookies are ready! [And she goes to gather them into a bowl.] Would you like one, Cecil? Be careful though, they are hot!

[nightvalesvoice]

Well everyone has the right to learn how to knit if they want to, I suppose.

Yes, I agree completely. And now that that treacherous barber seems to be out of the business for the most part we likely won't have that problem again.

Oh, yes please! [He carefully takes one, letting it cool a bit before taking a bite.] Mmm! Delicious.

[olewomanjosie]

Indeed, specially if they ask nicely.

Not having problems at all is something fantastic, isn't it?

[And she nods in polite aknowledgement] Thank you, dear. It's an old family recipe.
