“We blame this indignity on you!”
“Moi?”
“Top predator and all. Thought you’d have a taste a bird, huh?”
“No, he wanted some frog legs!”
“You’re bigger than me! I was just playing. Kitten, remember?”
“Right.”
“Hey, don’t blame me. You are so obsessed about your frogdom that you had to jump in that water.”
“To escape you…”
“You wouldn’t escape jumping into Tommy’s bath! And you idiot birds followed.”
“We had to help our friend!”
“If only your brains weren’t made of stuffing, you’d have the answer.”
“How long before we dry and go back to Tommy’s bed?”

I like that they are best buddies and have time to process just what happened to land them on the line.

Yep, once they are back “home” on Tommy’s bead, they will go back to their normal bickering, many instigated by Tommy himself.

A fun story, Trent. But shame on you for eavesdropping on a conversation between soft toys! Lol.

For some odd reason stuffed toys think adults can’t hear them, so it is easy to eavesdrop… Thanks!

These conversations are happening on lines everywhere! I’m sure they are not done with their adventures (as long as Tommy is into them, that is).

I think they are happening every where, or at least all over FF this week ;) Every day is an adventure as long as their human believes it is.

Nice personification Trent. I must try to remember that is a literary device that creates a sense of fun! Well done.

Thanks! For me dialog is the quickest, easiest way to define a character, even when the characters have fluff for brains ;)

Very amusing dialogue, Trent, from the toy’s point of view. I’m sure they get into plenty of trouble when Tommy’s not looking, and the little boy gets the blame. Cute!

With just fluff for brains, how can they avoid getting into trouble? Thanks!

Nope. I’m sure it would be, “Tommy! How many times have I told you to keep your stuffed animals out of the bathtub!”
“But, but…”

It’s amazing what you can get from stuffing! Logic, however, has never been a stuffed animal’s strong point.
