Travels with Grumpus

A few Fridays ago

Maya: Hey your new display cabinet is set up.  I moved it to your office.

Mickey: Yay!  Now I can bring out my toys.

Maya [eyeing a tall pile of still-boxed action figures]: I wanna help.  Let me help.

Mickey: No I wanna do it… Okay you can help.  Here you can do Wonder Woman [hands Maya a box].  I’ll do Batman.

Maya [struggling with the packaging]:  Man, this is hard.  That’s a lot of plastic and cardboard…  Hey, she has 2 heads.

Mickey: Yeah pick which one you want.

Maya: How do you put in her sword?  It doesn’t fit in her hand.

Mickey: Here let me do it. You’re right it doesn’t fit [sword snaps].  Oh man, I can’t believe I broke Wonder Woman’s sword.

Maya: Well this is done.  Let me do another one.

Mickey: You can do Dark Knight Robin.  I’ll do Dark Knight.

Maya: That’s a girl.  Why do I only get to do the girls?

Mickey: Because you’re a girl.

Maya: No fair!

Mickey: Ok you can do Blackhawk next.

Maya: Yay!  Blackhawk!  Hey, where do I put this magazine?

Mickey: Put it in his gun.

Maya: I already put one in.  I’m not stupid.

Mickey: Then put it in his belt pouch.

Maya: You mean those things actually work?  Heh.

Mickey: Ok I’m done with this one.

Maya: Hey why the heck is Green Lantern holding a lan….?   Ohhhh.

Mickey: You know sweetie, for a smart person you can be really stupid sometimes.

Maya: Gotham by Gaslight Batman is pretty cool.

Mickey: Yeah.  I still can’t believe I broke Wonder Woman’s sword.
