Harry is sick. The general thought is that he ate something he shouldn’t have. To aid in his recovery process he has been put on a special cleanse: oatmeal + chicken. I feel slightly embarrassed to relate this next bit but… Harry is a bit of a scavenger. He feels that anything which is delivered from a human hand or a counter is worthy of his mouth. Now I don’t know if I’ve told you, but Harry will do anything for a treat… And “treat” carries a very loose definition. Allow me to relate a recent interaction:
Jules: Harry… come!
Harry: sliding uncontrollably across the wooden floor, dashes to the kitchen.
Jules: takes a fake bite out of a pen Sit… down…
Harry: sits… downs…
Jules: moving the pen closer and closer Easy.. easy.. take it!
Harry: takes it.. and drops it. realizing at this point that the object is inedible he just stares at Jules (too stunned for words?)
Jules: What?
Harry: sneeze (Harry uses sneezes to indicate displeasure or disgust). walks away slowly
Jules: Oh cmon’ dude, I was just playin’, here we’ll get you a real treat..
Harry: sneeze (from around the corner)
You are just cruel.
