Konversation Korner: Kareening Karriage

"Hey Keller! Here we are, in historic French Quarter New Orleans, in this mule-drawn carriage - and it's goin' so slow! Let's highjack it, and really make this thing roll!" said Keeton, with a gleem in his eye.

"Whaaaa?? What did you just say, Keeton??? {gasp!} My gosh ~ that's . . .that's a naughty thing to do!" said Keller, dumbfounded.

Keller continues: "Keeton! Get a hold of yourself! We MUSTN'T highjack this rig! We're certain to receive retribution for our criminal activity!"

"Ah, shucks, Keller ~ I was just havin' a little fun with ya! A little mischievousness is all . . .if you feel that strongly about it, ah, heck. I give. No takin' over the cart. Will you forgive me?"

Keller is not fully convinced: "Well . . .let me consider that a minute. Do you promise? You'll be good? No stealin' horses? Well . . .okay. I forgive you, Keeton."

"Whew! Thanks, Keller! I'm feeling better already! Now, how can we convince our mom's that we need a fresh order of beniets??"
