Persuasion


The other day I announced, "We are watching Persuasion."

Rex announced, "I am going to bed."

But he didn't.

And he enjoyed himself.

Until

I said, "If you happen to be going upstairs,

you could bring me some carrots for a movie snack."

His reply was, "Unfortunately I'm not going back up."

Affecting my best British accent I said, "Very unfortunate indeed."

Then,

being the gentleman he is,

he walked upstairs and got the carrots after all.
