Advent 2025: Day 15, Holly Belle and Meghan

 

Holly Belle: Hello, dear.
Meghan: Oh, Holly Belle!  I'm so glad you're here!
I didn't think we'd get a turn at the calendar this year.
Holly Belle: That's what Daddy John said, but I soon set him straight.
I didn't put on this nice dress to sit around like a piece of furniture.

Meghan: Here's our little door.  I wonder what the prize will be.

Holly Belle: Hmm.  I'm not sure I approve of this.
Meghan: What is it?

Holly Belle: Probably one of those horrible Pokeyman things.
Meghan: Oh my!

Meghan: Let's put him down next to his little green friend.
Holly Belle: I guess that's as good a place as any.  Hmmpf.

Meanwhile...

Noah Conrad: Hey, Uli.  I heard you were missing a mixing bowl, 
so I brought up something you can use until you find it.
Uli: Vas...ein bucket?

Uli: Ach!  Cannot use bucket!  How do I get der spatula down in deep bucket?!
Also, is dirty from nuts und bolts und vhatever else you keep in bucket--
I cannot make food in dirty bucket!
Noah: Hey!  I'll have you know I keep a clean woodshop!

Noah: If you don't want my bucket, I will just take it back down to my woodshop.
Uli: Ja, ja!  Back to cave with rest of bats!


Special thanks to Aunt Marti for the bucket!

Poor Noah ! There he was trying to be helpful in the way only a boy can be and bam ! Ulli sets him straight, on just what is acceptable for the making of one of her finest cakes ! Meanwhile Holly Belle is still reigning supreme in Gregoropolis, could Daddy Steve and John be just a tiny bit afraid of her ? Nar two grown men afraid of a slip of a girl. . . . .

HB is a bit skeptical over the little green men....even THEY don't meet with her approval! I was wondering how you were going to incorporate the bucket! I knew you would somehow!
