March 6 1982

Rattus:

I say old man, are you catching a cold?



Tea Rat:

No...I think I shall cry...


because 

that woman who draws us

is celebrating her 33rd wedding anniversary this weekend!
 


Rattus:

Whatever shall we do to help celebrate?

Tea Rat:

Hmmmmm....




It's impossible even for me 

story-telling rat extraordinaire,

to tell the story

of such a remarkable journey, compadre.

Tea Rat: Boo hoo Sniff sniff.

Rattus: What is it, son? Tell us what's the matter. And blow your nose.

Tea Rat: HOOOONNNK! GURGLE! SNORT! HONK! HONK!

Rattus: Got it out of your system? Now why are you crying.

Tea Rat: Mum and Dad are celebrating their thirty third wedding anniversary.

Rattus: That's wonderful news. Why are you crying about that?

Tea Rat: Oh it's not that so much as, as...

Rattus: As what?

Tea Rat: As all the tea they've drank together all through the years. It's kept them strong. Calm in the face of life's adversities and all that, the center of every tender moment...

Rattus: There, there. Fancy a cup of tea?

Tea Rat: Oh yes. 33 cups in celebration of their 33 years marriage.

Rattus: Can we spread that out over a few weeks?

Tea Rat: What, got a weak bladder in your old age?

Rattus: Why don't you just say Happy Anniversary, Tea Rat.

Tea Rat: HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TEA RAT!
