Hey Tyebe, what’s this supposed to be? Budd, it’s mice in cheese. It don’t look like no cheese I’ve ever seen. You have to use your imagination, Budd. 
The mice are comin’ out of the cheese but don’t get your face too close or the mice will poke you in the eye. Mean little boogers, aren’t they? Mol *hic* The mice keep us on our claws so we pay attention to our game. I’d rather have real mice and cheese.
What’re you two scallywags doing? 
Tyebe’s teaching me the joys of plastic cheese and mean mice. She says I can’t eat the cheese and the mice will peck my eye out if I get too close. Really Tyebe, this is not fun!
You wanna play with me’s pepper, Budd? 
Whacha do with a pepper, Tyebe? I’s play with it, throw it in the air and catch it. Does it taste good? Tastes like my spit. Ohhhh…you can have it then.
Let’s think positive Budd. It’s a Sparks Monday today and we all need a boost to start the week. Annie of McGuffy’s Reader started Sparks and even though she is taking a break right now, we decided to light a candle and show some people the way into a fine Monday. 
There you are….happiness. A great way to light up the day.
