Shay Wonders Why Her Dinner is Late

Hey, it’s Shay Shay here. It must be late because I have been home alone in the dark for hours. Where did everybody go? I think you forgot to give me dinner? Oh, you left at four. Yes, I understand that is too early for my evening meal, but nine, that is too late.
You were at a basketball game? Really for five hours? Oh, an away game. Ravenscroft, the biggest rival. I don’t know what either of those things mean. Did Ravenscroft dogs get dinner?
So you had to drive a while to go to the game. The traffic, the traffic was bad. Is that why you left me home alone without food for five hours? No. There was an accident going there. So why did it take so long?
It was an exciting game. What does that mean? Carter’s team was down by eleven at the end of the first quarter. I can’t count to eleven, I can’t count to anything. So did they lose? What? They were up by one at the half! Izzy scored 31 points! Erin scored 12 and didn’t foul out! Cole made two threes! That’s fine, but what about Carter? Couldn’t she come home and feed me? She had to play? And keep team moral up and scream in the plays. OK! I guess that explains some of why you left me all alone, no food, no explanation.
Well, did my girl Carter’s team win? They did? They did! By two or three points. You can’t remember? What’s wrong with you. Why was it such a big deal? Oh, they haven’t beat Ravenscroft at their house in years. Ok, why didn’t you say so. I guess that is a big deal. So my girl is happy, so I am happy. Can I just have dinner?
