Alice: C'mon, Dill! You've got to try it! Dill: What if it makes him mad? Beni: Try what? Alice: Dill can hear things far away with his hat. I told him to listen to Santa Claus! Beni: Yes! You've got to! Dill: Okay, I'll try. Stand back. Noise: GGGNNNNNNNGGG... Alice: What did you hear? Santa? Beni: What was he doing? Dill: Oogh. No. Not Santa - Just a lot of adults talking in conspiratorial whispers. Alice: I knew it! They're up to something dire. Beni: Like always.

At least Alice and Beni haven’t yet been exposed to the Adult Santa Conspiracy! Poor Dill; I hope he recovers, even if by forgetting all he heard.

That’s odd. I bought a hat like Dill’s for my cat to wear on Halloween. Now he’s got Lynn Foama.
MisterFweem about 14 years ago
Yeah, I always thought my folks were up to terrible, frightening, interesting things after they made us go to bed at 9 pm. Now I know what they were doing: Dishes, mostly.

Dill’s hat looks like something a jester (or an Italian harlequin) would wear.

Maybe he is picking up a soap opera episode. That would explain his condition.
The feet up in the air is a nice touch!

This is kinda depressing…
“You want the Truth about Santa? You can’t HANDLE the Truth about Santa!”
policelimit Premium Member about 14 years ago
It’s not depressing. Dill just can’t hear that far. The North Pole is a loong way off. Those pesky adults just get in the way.
