Bunny Fact 26: What He Wasn't is What He is
When Rhode walked into the kitchen the first thing I asked him was, "Did you buy me a pea-shooter?"
He regarded me as he crossed to the fridge. "I don't think so. Unless I was drunk, or sleep walking, or momentarily struck with a case of utter stupidity. . . but that's doubtful. Why do you ask?"
I watched as he discovered the fudge that Niney had just bought and he contemplated whether or not he wanted it. Goo coincidentally walked into the room just then and that triggered my memory. We had talked about pea-shooters weeks ago. She was wearing a jester's hat.
"Yes," she smiled at me, "I got you your pea-shooter. I saw it when Mom took me to the Joke Shop."
"As well as that charming little hat?" I assumed.
