an overlooked danger

At a St. Patrick's Day themed dinner featuring colcannon, Irish cheese, and Irish beer, the Sober Husband was telling us about his day when suddenly Lola interrupted him.

"I am scared because you fired that dwarf! I am scared he is going to come back and hurt Doggyo!"

"I didn't know you fired a dwarf," I said conversationally.

Passionately Lola pressed on. "All dwarfs have hatchets! And he will come back with his hatchet if you are bad to him!"

Her father tried to calm her down. "We didn't exactly fire him." He explained that this fellow's contract had run out and not been renewed. A worried Lola was not soothed.

"All dwarfs in existence, including human dwarfs, have powers!"

that dinner sounds delicious. that dinner conversation sounds alarming. i would be curious as to what other kinds of dwarves there are other than, um, human ones. also how was lola even aware of this dwarf employee? i suspect she has moles at doggy-o.

hmmm, I suggest that you not let the girls watch Cat's Eye...there's a dwarf-like-troll-monster there that terrorizes a young Drew Barrymore....

and, exactly what sort of business is doggy-o in, that they employ moles and dwarves?

Humor is in the eye of the beholder... I'm just happy no one was offended on behalf of dwarfs everywhere.
