Days sans Petanque: Let's get small

How's the new digs?

It's temporary. Until this thing blows over, I don't want to take a chance on infecting Daisy. Besides, I've always been interested in tiny houses and this just seemed like the perfect opportunity to try one out.

What are you doing for food?

Dani toasts some bird seed and adds tomato sauce and parmesan. It's quite good. I had a young blackbird over for breakfast. She was friendly but I couldn't understand a word she peeped. I don't trust the raven though. He keeps tapping on the back door. 

Oh. Yeah. That's temporary too. It's one of those, one pill makes you larger and the other one makes you small. I do hope the larger one works as well. And how are things with you? You look like you've lost some weight.

No. What with the economic situation we thought we'd try downsizing for a couple of months. You'd be surprised at how much less toilet paper you use at this size.

Tell me about it. The kitty litter I put in the bottom of this thing should last two, maybe three weeks.

I'm on drugs. I'm, uh, I mean, you know what it is. What's the deal, man? I like to get small. It's a wild, wild drug. Very dangerous for kids though, because they get really small. I know I shouldn't get small when I'm drivin', but, uh, I was drivin' around the other day, you know [whistles tunefully] and a cop pulls me over. And he goes, 'Hey, are you small?' I said, 'No, I'm tall, I'm tall.' He said, 'Well, I'm gonna have to measure you.' They've got a little test they give you; it's a balloon, and if you can get inside of it, they know... you're small. And they can't put you in a regular cell either, because you walk right out —Steve Martin
