"Sure, I could have, but then I'd have been lying."
"You say lying... I say being nice....."
"I'm sorry, Day... I really didn't mean to hurt your feelings. And anyhow, it's totally the blankie and not anything to do with your handsome physique, at all!"
"Sucking up is not helpin' you, Mama..."
"Is there anything that would help, Day...?"
"Well, um, normally some deliciousness in the form of treats would help buuuuut... I'm afraid for my self-confidence's sake to even bring it up for worry of what you might say... prob'ly somethin' about the treats goin' straight to my hips or somethin' equally shattering..."
"What??? 'Equally shattering'? Day! You asked me 'does my butt look big in this' and I only said it does because it's a thick, heavy blankie you've been dragging around in all morning."
"I love this blankie..."
"I know you love that blankie. And I also love that blankie because I know it keeps all your cute lil' bare bum spots all toasty warm'n'cozy."
"I do have a cut lil' bum... even with all my lil' bare spots don't I, Mama?!"
"The absolute cutest, Day!"
"Now... about those treats we discussed..."
"Okay, but maybe just one would be better... y'know, so we don't ever have to have this discussion in future... based on real and non-blakiefied problems!" *wink*
"Mamas are so unfair... grumble, grumble....."
