Calvin's Yard, Saturday Morning
Mar. 31st, 2013 02:03 amCalvin was home for the holiday weekend. Calvin was also hard at work (while Hobbes supervised, naturally, can't expect tigers to get their paws dirty).
"What are doing?"
Calvin looked up towards the edge of the hole and grinned. "Susie, hey. Digging."
"I guessed that much." Though she did have that look on her face that suggested she's been half expecting a different answer. "I meant why?"
"Because tomorrow's Easter Sunday."
Susie opened her mouth, paused, then asked "...is this a pit trap?"
"Yeah." What better way to ensure the mother-lode of eggs? "Wanna help? We can split the haul. " Calvin thought this was a highly generous offer.
Now Susie had that look which meant she was trying to figure out whether to pretend she knew nothing about what he was doing or not. "Why not?" she finally said, hopping down into the hole and adding in a mutter he was pretty sure he was supposed to overhear. "Might as well know where you've dug all these."
