four minute mile

Yup, you heard that right.  You heard that definitely right, for sure.  Saffy and Peepers have beaten their own record.  Those two have gone and run a four minute mile!


MOUSES!


Hmmm...


Did I say minute?  


That's not correct.


Nope, what I SHOULD have said is that Saffy and Peepers have bested their record and run a four HOUR mile.


MOUSES!


Hmmm...


Did I say run?


That's not correct.


Nope, what I SHOULD have said is that Saffy and Peepers have bested their record and uh...


Ummm...


Hmmm...


Well...


Well truth be told, I don't know what you'd call what they were doin', but I do know one thing for sure: Whatever it was, it was nothin' like runnin', at all.


MOUSES!


 It was more like uh...


Ummm...


Hmmm...


Well...


Well like I said, it was more like somethin' totally unlike runnin'.  Totally unlike anythin' even resemblin' anythin' that knows how to run.  It was more like a...


Ummm...


Hmmm...


Like a crawl.


'Cept without any knees bein' involved.


MOUSES!


Oh, I know!


Okay, so you know when figure skaters do those figure eights, over and over again?


It was kinda like that.


'Cept no one was wearin' skates.


But Saffy was, in fact, doin' figure eights 'round and 'round and 'round Peepers' feet with Every. Single. Step. she did take.


Which is why...


Which is why it took like four hours for Peepers to get from the backyard into the kitchen which is actually nothin' like a mile, but I think everyone was feelin' like it was, on account of it takin' so long to get from there to here, and...


Good gosh, I was exhausted just watching 'em run.


I mean, crawl.


I mean...


Whatever it was.


MOUSES!

  2. MOUSES! A four-minute trek, maybe? We'd be exhausted watching that, too, Sivvers! XO

  3. Maybe a slow waltz? Was there music to be heard during this?

  4. Good golly! So slow. Thank goodness your lives, and more importantly, meals, weren't endangered! But whatever caused ssuch a speed-fest I wonder? Could they have been practicing for the tryouts of world slow moving championships? I understand sloths usually win that on account of, well, being slow. Slow slow that even the peep could make progress, knit a jumper, make lunch sweep the yard and still have time to plant nip seedlings.
    Have a wonderful week
