The Lap Desk Incident
Dear Diary,
I feel that I need to explain an incident from last Saturday. You see, there our usual Saturday morning routine and Mom was cleaning. Well, I decided to take a little nap while she went to get groceries. Dad was downstairs so I just curled up under the couch, where it is cool. Mom left and then Dad left on his thing that's like a car with no doors. And Echo went outside. So when I woke up I was all alone. I stretched, drank some water and went outside to find Echo. It was hot so I came back in. Echo came in with me. After about 3 minutes I got bored and started looking for toys. I found this neat pillow with a hard side. It smelled just like Mommy and tasted like cheese. Echo told me that it wasn't a toy. She said I would get in trouble. I waited, like, 7 dog-seconds for Mom or Dad to come home but they didn't. So I just took a little bite. As soon as I did, this white stuff started running out of it. Echo screamed and ran out. I panicked and tried to make it stop but it only got worst. Then it got stuck on my top tooth (everything gets caught on that!!) and so I ran around the room trying to get it off. Well, when that happened, the white stuff went everywhere. It was like a bag of puppies sprung out all over the room. Echo came in and laid down and told me that I was in SOOOO much trouble that she couldn't wait until Mom came home.

Just then we heard Mommy's car. When she came in I did the only thing I could think of ... I used the cute puppy eyes! It mostly worked because she sighed, laughed and said something like "Dammit." Which I think means - the same thing as that's funny. Then she brought in a bunch of stuff, told me I was silly and said Dad could clean this up when he got home.
A few minutes later, Dad got home and he and I cleaned it all up. I helped.
So that's the story of the Lap Desk Incident. For my first catastrophic failure, it wasn't bad. :-) And I didn't even get in trouble.
Love,
Hank
