Once upon a time--this morning, in fact---I had a mop. After mopping the floor, I put the mop outside to dry. I came outside to find this...
Oh, no! What has happened to my mop? It's bald! Surely my lovely angel dogs did not do such a thing! Look, they have lots of toys to play with! Trying to get to the bottom of the mystery, I asked Zeus why he had mauled the innocent mop.
"But Mom!" he exclaimed, "I am your good dog! I would never, ever, ever, play with something that looked exactly like a tempting small animal at the end of a stick! Do I look like the kind of dog who would do something like that?"
"See, look! I only play with toys!" And Zeus proceded to give a demonstration of his innocence. Unbeknownst to Zeus, as he was engrossed in chewing on the stuffed toy, he was being stalked....
Suddenly, Zeus was pounced on by a chaos demon! "You!" growled Zeus. "You're the one who ate the mop!"
"Me?" said Voodoo, "I only suggested that the thingy looked like a tempting small animal at the end of a stick!"
And the argument was on....
