Did you eat my mango?
Oh boy! I heard that familiar sound. Here comes Buud, down the hall with Maw Maw in hot pursuit. What did he do this time? He rounded the corner between the hall and my office and sprang to my lap. Maw Maw was not far behind. Buud sat erect, facing front, with no sign of fear or intimidation. He’s now sitting on “base”, he’s safe on my lap. He always runs to my lap when he’s in trouble.
Maw Maw, shaking her finger in his face, demands, ”Did you do this? I know it wasn’t Precious. She doesn’t do this kind of thing.” Maw Maw thrusts a half-eaten Mango in front of his nose and inquires with a scolding voice, “Did you eat my Mango? These are Maw Maw’s, not yours. You have your own treats. Mangos are my favorite treat and you ate my last one!”
Both Buud and I sat there, looking up sheepishly, and then It struck me… I had no reason to feel guilty. After all, I didn’t eat her Mango.
Then I did it! I don’t know why I can’t keep my mouth shut. I have a propensity to say things that are absolutely unnecessary. This time I realized, as the first word left my mouth, that this was one of those ill thought-out responses. But I just couldn’t stop the words from flowing. I said, “Oh look, Buud likes Mangos, we have to get him some more!” Wrong thing to say!
Now, Buud and I are both in the dog house.
Precious doesn’t even know what the dog house is. She has never seen the inside of it. Precious is “Miss goody-two-shoes”!
Buud and I, on the other hand, are a little more of the world. We visit the dog house quite frequently.

Comment by Paul Dovie July 10, 2011 @ 7:41 amPaul, I can’t really comment. I expect to be out of the doghouse by Monday and don’t want to jeopardize that.
Comment by benmat2 July 10, 2011 @ 10:16 amI’m sure you deserve the doghouse often but NOT Buud. The only reason he ate Maxine’s Mango is because you failed to get him his own mangos. I hope you’ll correct that situation as soon as you can. Tell my “perfect” Buud “hello”.
Comment by Uncle Jerry July 11, 2011 @ 10:24 amI must agree with Uncle Jerry on this one. At least Buud knows where his safety zone is and knows just how to b the artful dodger when being chased by the fickle finger of fate. as far as Miss GOODY GOODY goes she knows better to stay out of it whatever the it happens to be. It seems to me that it runs in the family that neither one of us knows when to keep our mouths shut when we should . Maybe this is just one more lesson BUUD is teaching you. HAVE FUN
Comment by kathypat July 11, 2011 @ 9:02 pmKathy: Buud and Precious are toooooooo smart. We can’t keep up.
Comment by benmat2 July 12, 2011 @ 9:23 amJerry: Well, I know not to make that mistake again. Buud will have his own supply and look out if Maw Maw steals one of his. Buud says “Hi!”
