You make me pose for these pictures when you know what I really want to do is play catch. So please, will you, please, pick up that bat and smack this ball to the end of the yard so I can go get it and bring it back to you so you can smack it again? And if it wouldn’t be too much trouble, could you cool down the water in my wading pool and bring me a popsicle (purple, please) and maybe something to eat? Thanks.
