Lies and Pedicures

I'm not very good at listening. I get wrapped up in the puzzle of my mind, trying to figure out my response.

Today, I was the postman -- through rain, sleet, snow -- no measly weather situation is going to stop me. I was on a mission: Hangdog needed toothpaste and lightbulbs. (Ok, secretly, I just needed to see him.) Some warped part of me looks forward to his lies:

They made me walk ten miles today.
No one has given me any pills.
I never sleep.

The Belle would've put up with this for a nanoseond. Then she would've shoved a pill in his mouth and taken him for a danish and a pedicure.
