Thanks, Rita! Toby is the storyteller. I just write down what he does.
But you could just HEAR those hens chuckling to each other about what BIIIIIG men Toby and Tom thought they were, and how impressive they thought their strutting and dignity were.
Even when I make Toby fall off a chair, I have to respect his dignity. Depending on his reaction, I either agree with him that (of course) he MEANT to do that, or I apologize profusely and take responsibility.
But soemtimes Becky can't stifle her snickers, and THEN Toby REALLY offended.
I'm not sure whether he has a gracious and forgiving nature, or just a short memory.
I think it's the short memory, because I can get him to roll off that chair more than once in a month, and you would THINK he'd remember!
