Authoritarian Society and Missing Eyeballs



The kids are having a rip-roarin' good time playing with the large stuffed animals they got for Christmas. Amidst all of the breathless laughter I can hear a definitive chain of command:
"I'll give you ONE more chance to be good" says Kiki's tiger.
"Kiki, he didn't lose it in the first place. KIKI, he didn't lose it in the first place. KIKI, he didn't lose it in the FIRST PLACE." pleads Greyson.
Apparently there is some major ignoring going on here. But Greyson continues, unabated-
"Let me be second in command, please! Say 'O.K.' Two little letters, just say 'O.K.'"
"If you ask me to say okay one more time than you're not second in command." Kiki returns.
"Go get Aslan, where is he?" Greyson suggests.
"No. He's on a journey with the blind boys."
"What are they doing, getting executed?"
"No, educated, they are learning in a special blind school so they can raise their own family."
Poor little blind boys. Daisy has an affinity for stuffed animal eyeballs. She removed almost all of them while we were away on Christmas vacation. She was bored.

At least the blind boys can contribute to the drama.
