It's the Thought That Counts
By Purry

 

 

"Hutch!"

"I can't..., I just can't believe you did that."

"Come on, Hutch, it's the thought that counts."

"That's just it, there was *no* thought to it."

"I kno...."

"You know what gets me?"

"What?"

"I thought we were best friends."

"We are!"

"How can you say that?"

"Huh?"

"Forget it!"

"No! I wanna know why you're so sore at me."

"Darn right I'm sore. You gave me an imitation Pet Rock."

"I gave you the *hottest* gift that's out this year!"

"Oh, is that right? Well there's just three things wrong with your gift choice."

"What?"

"First, you gave me a rock."

"A Pet Rock."

"Stop interrupting."

"Ok, ok, but it's the perfect pet; no feeding, walking, vet bills, and it'll never die."

"Starsky!"

"Alright!"

"Second, you didn't even put any thought into what you gave me; so that it's the thought that counts crap is just that, crap."

"Well…."

"And third, it wasn't even an original Pet Rock, it was just a dirty rock that you'd picked up off the ground and wrapped up for me."

"Hey, I think one should adopt a pet and not purchase one from one of those snooty pet stores."

"Starsk, it's a ROCK!"

"By the way, what'd you name it?"

"Name it?"

"That's the problem, you haven't begun to bond with it."

"Bond?!"

"Sure, once it has a name then it'll feel more like a pet."

"You're crazy!"

"Is it a boy or girl?"

"Boy or girl? Yep, you're definitely crazy."

"I think Shelia for a girl and Ralph if it's a boy."

"ARGH! I give up!"

"That's what you get for giving me a crummy tree for Christmas last year."

"What, what are you mumbling?"

"Just, uh, Happy Birthday, Partner."
