“See I remembered.”
Joe looked down at the thing in his hand. He turned it over. “What is it?”
“I’m hurt darling. You’ve been asking for one for years now.”
“Louise, you have got to be kidding. This is not the car I wanted. It is a hard glob of…well I don’t know what.”
“No, not the car. It is the dog you asked for.”
“The dog …this is no dog. Having you been hitting the wine already?”

#30 I Didn’t Steal It
“I didn’t steal it. It crawled into my pocket at the store.”
They both looked down at the creature.
“What is it Stan.”
“I don’t know Louise. It looks like some kind of big tadpole.”
The creature squirmed in his hand as it shed its skin. It grew to twice its previous size.
“Stan, kill the thing.”
“I can’t kill it. I don’t even know what it is.”
“All the reason to kill it.”
“No…” The creature shed it’s skin again. Now it was too big for his hand. He dropped it to the ground. The creature crawled away.

“It’s a hat…what’s it look like?”
“Well…if you must know the sorting hat from Harry Potter. Take it off before someone sees you.”
“I can’t…”
“What are you talking about?”
“Didn’t you hear me…it won’t come off. I woke up this morning and I was wearing the hat. I tried to pull it off…well… it’s stuck there.”
“Hold on babe. Let me see if I can pull it off.” She walked over and pulled on the hat. “It won’t come off…why?”

“You know I didn’t have this much trouble when I was dead. I was peaceful laying in my coffin. Then you came along.”
“The world needs you….”
“What couldn’t another so called super hero handle your little emergency.”
