I probably could.

“Sure, you could.  But you can’t.”

 

I’m infected, remember?  I have to.

“You’ve been on antibiotics all week.  If you didn’t by now, she’ll figure—sshh, here she is.  Hi Karen!”

 

Hi Iggy!

 

Karen?

Yes, Muppet?

 

This is a nice mat.

I’m glad you like it.

 

It’s soft.

Yes, it is.  It’s really for when you guys track in dirt and mud, but if you want, I can get you one just to lay on.

 

See, Iggy?

“But she didn’t say—“

 

Karen?

“Oh no.”

 

Yes, Muppet?

 

Can I pee on this?  I’d really like to pee on this.  Can I pee on this please?

No.

 

Aawwww!

 

“I told you so!”

 

Did you, Iggy?  Good boy!  Muppet, listen to Iggy.  He knows what he’s talking about.

 

“Yeah!  What did I say, Muppet?”

 

You said it’s better to ask forgiveness than permission.  

What?

 

“That’s right.  What should you have done, Muppet?”

 

I should have just peed.

 

“That’s right.”

 

No!

 

I’ll listen to you next time, Iggy.

I’m getting the crate back out.

 

Awww!
