Dad: Oh, yuck. Petey: What? Dad: There's a green, clown-shaped marshmallow in my cereal. Petey: It's Alice. Dad: There's another one! What's Alice? Petey: She's spreading her dire influence. She leaves toys everywhere - her stuff seeps inexorably into every corner of the house. Blocks, stuffed animals, tiny doll shoes, creeping into every nook and cranny, overwhelming all that are not Alice. Dad: That's just silly. Petey: Marshmallows migrating into your cereal can mean only one thing- Mom: We're out of orange juice. Have one of Alice's juice boxes. Dad: No. Petey: She's in the food chain. We're doomed.
I love Petey. My little sister dominated the food chain as soon as she could eat solids. All of the sudden we were eating things for lunch we hadn’t seen for three years like… animal crackers and drinking… JUICE. To state the truth we were actually pretty happy about it.
