Pardon Me.....

.......do you have a peanut?

Me: "I don't think so."

Squirrel: "But, I get peanuts here."

Me: "I'm so sorry, I'm just the cat sitter. I don't know where the peanuts are."

S: "Are you sure."

Me: "Well, I can't go rummaging through the house looking for peanuts."

S: "Do you like squirrels?"

Me: "Oh, I do".

S: "Are you sure you don't have a peanut then?"

Me: "Well, I suppose I could check in the car."

S: "Oh, please."

(a handful of peanuts was found and delivered promptly)

S: "Whew! Thanks!"
