Life with Alice

The Mysterious Suitcase

Mum got this suitcase for Christmas, and I thought at the time it was odd. Then I sort of forgot about it. But now a couple of other things have brought my attention back to this contraption and its possible significance in our lives.

The other day, there was a Proms thing related to someone called Albert on TV. I usually don't watch whatever is on, except for dogs and elephants. So I was surprised when mum said Look Alice, and then something about Messiah on Good Friday and that she'll be there. I thought it might be one of those flying Christmas tree things. It's not going to happen, because she'll never ever fit inside the TV.

And then when our friend B was here, mum showed her the suitcase and how it's got wheels and everything. What's so special about that, I wonder? I am way faster without wheels. And this Albert character was brought up again, and the question where I Will Be.

I have done the math. Mum thinks I don't understand this, but I do. I knew the suitcase was trouble the moment I laid my eyes on it. I wish I were a Dobermann, so I could chew it to pieces before the not so good Friday.
