"Hey Smush," Mogey said one day as the two of them sat on the front porch shelling walnuts. "You know the old saying 'tiptoe through the tulips?'"
"Mogey, you know full well I won't have talk like that in this house," Smush replied sternly. "I know the phrase 'stomp around in the tulips...'" he suggested.
"I know I know," Mogey rejoined. "What about prickerbushes? Can I say 'tiptoe through the prickerbushes?'"
"You can do whatever you want through the prickerbushes," Smush said. "But we don't show mercy to tulips, right?"
Mogey heaved a great sigh. Smush had been insufferable on this subject since accidentally getting tulip juice in his eye while making a smoothie one morning.
