Tea Party

So I wrote this when my cousin mailed me saying her two and three quarters year old daughter hosted a pretend tea party on her birthday.

What a perfect day for an outdoor tea party it is!
The sun is shining.
The birds are chirping.
The colorful butterflies are fluttering by.
And what a turn out! 
There is Mr.Gummy, silly as he is, wearing his bright yellow rain coat.
Next to him sits Lady Lola in her beautiful gown, her hair braided with pretty flowers.
Naughty Monkey Moop is sitting at the edge of his chair, trying to put sugar cubes into his mouth while no one is looking.
Donkey Dan is laughing his wonderfully infectious laugh while Joko, the Clown, honks with his big red nose and moos like a cow.
Then sits good old Lucy, smiling and looking upon everybody with a sparkle in her eye.
And there comes Mother, with a pot of steaming hot tea and cakes!
How everyone cheers!
Shush..I cannot describe the party to you anymore. My tea is getting cold, and I'm afraid Monkey Moop is going to eat my share of the cake. 
Good bye now!
No wait! 
Oh wonderful! Mother has got extra.
Would you like to join us?

How to Bug a Friend Early in the Morning

You: I pinged you. You ignored me. Head down sad face
Friend: Chin up eeeeeee face!!! :D
You: And as she grinned like a maniac, a minuscule mosquito made it's way into her wide, open mouth
Friend: Heehawhaw poraaamai*...
You: Little did she know that the sound of her laugh mimicked to perfection, the mating bray of a donkey. Somewhere nearby, donkey Jojo's quest for it's soul mate began.
Friend: Kazhudhaiya vechu oru kaadhal kaaviyama?? Ezhudhi mudichutu give me credits for instigating ur innovation :D **
You: But did she realize she was more than mere inspiration? Did she realize that she was the lead actor, the heart and soul of this beautiful Ballad of the Bray?
*** Silence ***

* -  ~Insert Donkey braying noise here~ Jealousy
** - A love story with a donkey? When you are done writing it, please give me credits.

Blah

S: I don't know if its the industries they work in, but my friends seem to think they are surrounded by crooks and cheats.
Me: What industries do they work in?
S: Oil, Banking, Fast Moving Consumer Goods
Me: So the people in Oil are too oily, you cannot bank on people in Banking, and the Fast Moving Consumer Goods people always try to pull a fast one on you?
S: Thu

Is it sad that this conversation was the highlight of my day?
