Of spines and men
(RJ getting increasingly agitated attempting to attach porcupine quill to large inflatable hedgehog)
RJ: I need to stick it on. Hedgy wont be safe.
Dad: Safe from what? He’s in our living room.
RJ: He has no spines. He isn’t safe from predators.
Dad: (get increasingly worried about Hedgy getting punctured) We don’t have predators in here. The worst Hedgy has to deal with is that pile of unfolded laundry on the couch.
Mum: RJ, he’s a fuzzy hedgehog. They’re bred specially for living rooms.
RJ: He isn’t safe! What if… if… a lot of hungry dogs come in here… through the window?
…
Dad: (under his breath) Better Hedgy than us, then. We’ll remember him in heroic verse after we make our escape.
