Name Calling for A Little Drabble Do Ya

"Do you see it?"

"No… Where are you looking?"

"Over there, by that hedge of … that hedge."

"You don't know what kind of hedge?"

"Is it really important?"

"I just find it interesting that you don't know."

"Blockhead."

Later that day…

"… and so, gentlemen, good work.  I expect final reports by the end of day. That is all."

Leaving the Old Man's office the two agents fell in step.

"Did you ever figure out what kind of hedge that was ?"

"Forsythia."

Napoleon repeated it with a slight lisp, eliciting a small smile from his partner.

"Forthithia…"

"Blockhead."

"Egghead."

Two smiles.

Oh too funny! Especially the lisp! How many of us have grown up saying 'forsythia' that way? lol!

Excellent.

I've never heard of a Forsythia, but when I was little I had trouble with thistle. It was either a thithle or a sistle.

It's quite pretty.

Napoleon using the lisp was impossible to resist.
