Hanging Around

While I was babysitting last week; while Madeline was asleep,
I put both Jackson and Matthew on the floor together on a blanket. They looked at each other and started laughing. One or both of them would talk and the other would laugh. Everything was going fine until Mr. Jackson Turtle rolled over on his back and could not move.

Later Maid Madeline and Marvelous Mathew sat together on the sofa while Jackson slept. Madeline stared at Matthew's left ear with a strange adoration.

Mr. Jackson and Marvelous Matthew simultaneously decided that eating was urgent. The men required me to feed them simultaneously which was mildly problematic considering that I am not part octopus. Finally my friend Mr. Jackson adequately conveyed that a slight nap might give him a better perspective, so he was accommodated. Both men are experiencing the joys of solid food.

We have yet to convince Maid Madeline the efficacy of solid food. Ms. Madeline is a connoisseur and we brackish mountebanks are obviously too unsophisticated as to anticipate the culinary needs of a noblewomen of obviously superior breeding.

Grandpa is in the hospital, but he is still constantly thinks about his little loves MM&J and hopes to see them soon. Tell them to be sure to take care of Mommy and Daddy while I'm gone.
