Weak with recent illness, Wilma played her

Weak with recent illness, Wilma played her notorious hoax on Fred, she got Dino to get up on his hind legs and

show Fred his "T-Rex". Fred loved this trick and gave Dino a brontosaurus bone, which Dino dropped on the pteradactyl bath in the yard. Bam-Bam wanted some bam-bam so he called

Pebbles. Fred knew something was up when Pebbles started powdering with quarry chalk. He was an overprotective father & made Pebbles wear a chastity beast.

Fred's suspicions were confirmed when he caught Pebbles out back of the malt shop with Bam Bam. Fred knew why he had that name. Luckily Pebbles's chastity beast was a fierce

velociraptor, who would maul Bam Bam if he got too intimate with Pebbles. Fred figured Bam Bam was smart enough

Stay home and wait for a better time to go to Marbella. Fred would book the flight later when fares were cheaper offseason.

While we waited in the lobby of that hair salon, I asked Fred about the cravat again. He remembered that I was not Daphne and in on the secret and clammed up like a something that

was slammed shut so hard it would never again be opened. I grabbed him by the lapels and drew his frightened face to mine. "Get me that damned cravat or it's curtains," I snarled.

"I love curtains." he said. I slapped him & said "NOT those kind of curtains." I stared him down a bit, my angry eyes eyeballing his eyeballs. Then we laughed unti the sun came up.
