The Ornament-Switcheroo Discussion

"But, I didn't want it to go the-e-eerrre..."
"But, this is where you nodded to."
"No, it's not."
"Yes, it is."
"No, it's not."
"Yes, it is."
"Not..."
"Day... yes, it is."
"No. I nodded to that other branch... up there..... not that one....."
"You meant that one?"
"Uh-huuuhh..."
"But, that one already has an ornament hanging from it."
"I know. I thought you would get the hint... that one doesn't go there; this one does."
"But, I was actually really impressed at your choice for this one to go here, it just fits perfectly!"
"Yeah... perfectly where no one will ever even seeeee it....."
"What do you mean 'no one will ever even see it'?? It's sparkly and directly faces the front doors! It'll be the very first ornament eevvveeryone will see the very instant they come inside!"
"Who are you tryin'ta kid, Mama? You know, as well as I do, that other branch is the definite attention-getter... prob'ly the whole reason you even put that weird-o golden octopus thing on it in the first place... y'know, before I even had a chance to choose it for my ornament......."
"You know, Day, I really don't think anyone who comes to visit will even notice any of the ornaments, or even that there's a Christmas tree at all... not when they have your handsome face, huggy body and wagging tail waiting at the door to greet them."
"Sucking-up is helping you naught, Mama... let's get going, you have an ornament-switcheroo to do."
"Greyhounds are so unfair... grumble, grumble....."
