Hee, hee, hee…I stole
Mummy’s necklace today, the one Dad gave her for Christmas! She calls it a Diamond necklace or something like. Anyway, she was taking it off and carelessly laid it out on
the dressing table in plain view. Then she walked away - er, well, she turned a
bit sideways. Anyhow, it was there, I was there…
the long and short of it is, I
nabbed the necklace and made off with it!
Mummy wondered for about half a second what I was so positively animated about, then as I turned to
gloat before making my exit, she spotted something sparkly dangling from my
teeth. She yelled, I ran! And ran, and ran…. Whoosh – I ALMOST made it to the
top of the stairs. Mummy grabbed my leg through the banister and said in no
uncertain terms for me to “hand it over.”
I let the treasure go
and pleaded not guilty by reason of the fact that it isn’t human nature to
overlook something sparkly that has been left unattended, however short a time.
I hoped that might be the end of it but I have a feeling there will be a lecture
when Dad gets home.
That was a close one! I guess you'd better leave your Mummy's jewels alone next time. :)
ReplyDeleteYou are very brave, Gussie! I wouldn't have tried something like that.
