СКАЧАТЬ for it. I thought you took it back.”

      “Huh? Well, of course I took it back.”

      “You’ve got something in your teeth.”

      “I beg your pardon?”

      “I said, you’ve got something red in your teeth.”

      “Red? Don’t be absurd.” I whirled away from him and began scrubbing my teeth. “It must be some, uh, fragments of red meat.”

      “It looks kind of like plastic.”

      “It’s red meat, Drover.”

      “I’ll be derned. Where’d you get red meat?”

      “Never mind where I got it.”

      “Wait. Maybe some of the plastic came off the truck when you were carrying it back to the gate.”

      I beamed him a pleasant smile. “There we go! Of course. Ha ha. Why didn’t I think of that?”

      “It’s still there.”

      I scrubbed harder on my teeth. “How does it look now?”

      He squinted his eyes. “You got it that time.”

      “Good, good. We certainly don’t want to go around with dirty teeth, do we? Ha ha. No siree. Listen, how’s your Chewing Disorder?”

      He beamed a silly grin. “You know, it’s much better. Those Words of Healing really helped.”

      “Great. Well, stick with the routine, son, and don’t forget to brush your teeth.” I lifted one ear and heard voices down at the house. “So Alfred can’t find his truck, huh? I left it right there by the gate. Tell you what, I’ll trot down there and help him out.” I gave Drover a secret wink. “Kids.”

      “What’s wrong with your eye?”

      “What?”

      “You’ve got a twitch in your eye.”

      I gave him a withering glare. “Nothing’s wrong with my eye. I was giving you a secret wink so that we could share a little laugh about how kids are always misplacing their toys.”

      “Oh. Hee hee. Yeah, that was a good one.”

      “Just skip it, Drover, I’m sorry I mentioned it. Good-bye. I’m off to help a child in distress.”

      And with that, I left the dunce and went streaking down to the yard gate to, uh, help Alfred find his missing toy.
