put it back on!

Hey Peepers!  You have any idea what day today is?

Okay, I'll give you a hint there, Peepers.  It isn't January 15th.

What the mouses am I talkin' about, you ask?  Mouses, Peepers, don't you know anythin'?  I'M TELLING YOU, it's no longer winter.  It's the 20th of May.

Yeah, yeah...  Fine, I'll explain.  The thing is, Peepers, it's May.  Closer to late May. than early, and the temperature outside is soarin'.  It's warm out there, Peepers.  Some might even say hot.  Way too hot to be waltzin' around wearin' a winter hat like it's the middle of January.

MOUSES!

My point is...

My point is, WHY THE MOUSES ARE YOU WEARIN' A WINTER HAT TO DO THE WEEKLY SHOP?

Oh.

Ewww...

Put it back on!  PUT IT BACK ON!

Ew, that's so gross.

MOUSES!

Yeah, I suppose you're right.   I suppose I have seen the state of your hair here at home, as of late, and no, I didn't toss my cookies all those other times I saw it, but still...

But still, YOU MUST KNOW your hair is lookin' mighty, uh...

Um...

GRAY.  You must know that hair of yours is pretty gray if you're hidin' it under that winter hat when you're out in public.

MOUSES!

And FYI, Peepers, as the days get warmer and warmer, wearin' winter hats is gonna be harder and harder for you to do.  Believe you me, you're gonna look mighty silly in shorts and a tee while wearin' a winter toque.  That knitted hat is gonna look sillier and sillier and...

Well...

STUPID.

Yeah, that's the word I mean.

MOUSES!

And anyway, don't you normally colour that hair of yours?  You know, before it gets this ugly.  I mean, bad.

Whatever.

Yeah, yeah...  Pandemic shmandemic.  A pandemic is no reason for you to not get yourself a box of colouring crayons, or whatever it is you peeps use, and do something 'bout that hair.

MOUSES!

And while you're at it - while you're gettin' yourself that box of crayons, I mean  - you wanna pick me up some treats?

And maybe some tins of the fanciest of the feasts?

Oohhhh...  How 'bout a standin' rib roast or two with a side of salmon, and...

WELL YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO OFF IN A HUFF, PEPPERS!  That look on your face is not pleasant at all.  In fact, some might say it's downright ugly.

Although truth be told, if peeps are lookin' at that there face you're now makin', they might not even notice your stupid hair.

WHAT DID I SAY?

Gosh darn it, a kitty happens to helpfully mention to his peep how her hair is lookin' a little worse for wear, and what does a kitty get?

Nothin' but cheek.

MOUSES!
