Puppets' Corner: Rainy Days

Red: Hi folks. We're the monster puppets the kids made this week. Ian made me.
Blue: That's right. Mom and Dad helped a little, but Sage cut my eyes and horns out herself.
Green: Meep meep.
Blue: Green belongs to Lucy. The kids named us all after Pokemon characters, but Dad can't really keep us straight.
Red: Hence the color-coded transcript.
Green: Gunga galunga.
Red: Anyway, here's the rundown from this afternoon.
Blue: At 2:45 Dad looked out the window and asked if kids wanted to go swimming.
Red: At 2:45 and 2 seconds the kids said "Yayyyyy!"
Green: [now transfixed by Bambi]
Blue: At 3:50 the kids finally got dressed and ready to drive to the pool.
Red: And, of course, at 3:55 it started to rain. That's when the kids went home and turned on Bambi for us monsters to watch.

Blue: The sun came back out at 4:10, but Dad waited half an hour before driving everyone back to the pool, since that's when the apartment complex usually reopens the pool after a heavy rain.
Red: When we got there at 4:40, they were closing the pool even though it's supposed to be open until 8pm.
Blue: Lazy teenage life guards.
Green: Grrrrr...
Red: By 4:50 we were back on the couch learning about twitterpation.
Blue: I've never seen this movie before, but I think I like it.*
