Me: Going to the activity field is supposed to be about having fun together.
Nell: My thoughts exactly.
Me: It’s not about Shutting Others Out.
Nell: No password. No entry.
Me: The Semicircle of Power is not yours.
Nell: It’s open to everyone.
Me: But it isn’t. Dave kept trying to come in and you wouldn’t let him.
Nell: It’s not my fault if he can’t work it out.
Me: Nobody can work it out, Nell. You change the password all the time.
Nell: Of course I do. That’s what you have to do with passwords.
Me: Not in the activity field.
Nell: David can have as many guesses as he likes.
Me: He gets bored after a while.
Nell: Not my problem.
Me: It was designed for us all to sit together.
Nell: You sat there.
Me: I know. I’m not sure how.
Nell: You said the password. And so did Kev.
Me: What was it?
Nell: How am I supposed to remember? It’s changed several times since then.
Me: I give up.
Nell: Well, you won’t be able to come in with that attitude.
Me: You should be kinder.
Nell: Moving on, it looks like Stephen Seagull and the Beefies have moved into the village.
Me: Really?
Nell: The Beefy Bacon Bap van was seen at the Recreation Ground.
Me: Oh no. That wretched lion isn’t working there, is he?
Nell: Lionel King is not the bad animal you think he is.
Me: The sooner Knitwear Wolf comes back from Canada the better.
Nell: Rupert is due back at the weekend.
Me: Thank goodness. He won’t tolerate that lion hanging around.
Nell: Lionel is working undercover. I don’t know why you won’t believe me.
Me: He’s a baddy, Nell, and you’re blind when it comes to him. Sorry.
