"Do you think you could ever live in a rain forest?" Mogey asked Smush as the two pals stared out the kitchen window at a bleak, stormy November morning.
"Not on your life," Smush replied.
"Why's that? Is it the bugs?"
"No sir, the bugs don't other me in the slightest."
"The heat, then?"
"Uh-uh," Smush said. "Smush loves him some hot, humid weather."
"Well what is it?" Mogey inquired. "Why wouldn't you live in a rain forest?"
"Two reasons," Smush replied. "First, I'm deathly afraid of leaches. Second, monkeys. Those wise guys are always giving you a hard time. It's like, hey, monkey, if you're going to make a funny face at me, why don't you come down here where I can hit you with my monkey beating stick?"

Great M and S to lead into the holidays. I can't think of a better subject to really grasp the essence of the time of year.
