Watching Television

“Dinner was excellent, as always, Napoleon.  Thank you.”

“You’re welcome, Tovarisch.  Let’s watch The Ed Sullivan show.”

“What is that thing supposed to be?”

Napoleon replied, “That’s Topo Gigio, the Italian mouse.  I like him, he’s funny.”

Illya rolled his eyes in amusement.  “You like a little mouse puppet!” he laughed, “How…cute.  If THRUSH could see you now!”

“Not so fast, you hypocritical Russian!  You were laughing at Speedy Gonzalez cartoons yesterday!  I prefer my puppet to your cartoon character any day.”

“Speedy is funny!  However, I sincerely hope no one discovers how much we like ethnic rodents.”

“Me, too.”

Wow, talk about a walk down memory lane. I used to have a Topo Gigio puppet, and walke around parrroting " Eddie, kiss me goodnight". (along with Hushpuppy, and Lambchop and Charlie Horse!) Thanks for a reminder of some childhood memories, that I'd forgotten about.

I'm with Napoleon on this one, I liked the puppet better. :D

Yup, me too. Speedy Gonzales could get a bit annoying with all that "Arriba! Arriba! Arriba!" yelling. [chuckle}

Hey anyone remember Mikimoto Mouse? Hmmm, come to think of it, a lot of cartoon characters were in the rodent family. Mickey Mouse, Rocky the Squirrel...Hmmm?

I thought Topo Gigio was so sweet and he was my favorite, too!
