A Moomin-tous Resolution, Part 2

 

Beatrix: Just about time - this is so exciting!  I've set out the little cakes.
Barbara: And I've made the tea.  I do hope I've made enought.

Beatrix: Actually, I think you've made enough for all of Moominvalley.
There's no danger of that thing exploding, is there?
Barbara: I hope not.  That would really put a damper on the festivities.

>DING - DONG<

Kevin: There's a strange looking white pony at the door for you.
Barbara: Oh, Kevin, that's the Moomin we invited to tea!
Beatrix: Yes, Kevin, do get with the program.

Kevin: I never know what's going on around here.
Barbara: That's all right, dear; at least you realize it.

Barbara: We're so pleased you were able to join us today!

Barbara: That was an absolutely delightful afternoon!
Beatrix: Wasn't it just!  He's such a brilliant conversationalist.
Far more interesting than either Anderson Cooper or Andy Cohen.

Beatrix: You know, this has energized me to tackle some more 
resolutions on that list.  What's next?
Barbara: Let's see...hmmm.  'Clean out the cupboard under the stairs.'

Beatrix: On second thought, there's no need to get carried away so early in the new year.
Barbara: I quite agree.  Nobody likes an overachiever.

The Moomin looks like he/she was the perfect guest.
Now girls don't get carried away ! You have a whole year to deal with that list . . .
Ps We nearly had a Moomin arrive here but I resisted . . . .
