I was having a very weird dream. There were talons digging into my head. Something soft was yelling HOOT! HOOT!!!! HOOT!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then I realized it wasn't a dream. Wise Girl was sitting on my head, yelling her little Barn Owl head off.
I sat up. "I'm up, Wise Girl! Get off my head!"
She flew around the room, screeching with alarm. I realized that George was wrapped around her belly.
"George!" I scolded. "Get off of Wise Girl!"
But she stole my rat!
"Owls eat rats, too! I'll get you another, just get off of her!"
Fine.
George dropped off Wise Girl and slithered back onto the caduceus, waking up Martha.
George, why were you off of the caduceus?
That owl stole my rat.
And you were off of the caduceus because?
I was wrapped around her.
George! You must have scared the poor thing silly!
Yeah, I did. She sat on Amy's head for a while, and then started flying in circles.
I will not give you any more rats today!
Aw, come on!
You will only get mice.
George turned huffy and curled around the caduceus to sulk. I sighed, picked them up, and went down to breakfast.
