Under the Wire

Sue quite often sends me off to town on an errand. It may be to pick up the mail, take mail to the post office or, as I often suspect, to just get me out of the house.

Prior to every trip she issues these directions to me, “Try not to get into too much trouble” Honestly, I hardly ever get into any type of trouble. I do, however, encounter a few “memorable” situations, such as my most recent.

This morning she called me into her office to tell me she needed me to go to the store and buy her a lemon. That’s right, not a bag of, dozen of, but one solitary little round, yellow lemon.
