Turtle in Paradise (2010)
“Instead of peddling girdles, they sell thrills and chills, and folks eat them up. Not me, though. I’m no sucker. I know there’s no such thing as giant apes climbing skyscrapers or mummies walking out of tombs. But just try telling that to the boys.
“Who do you think would win in a fight, Dracula or Frankenstein?” Ira asks, popping a piece of alligator pear into his mouth. We’re on the porch having a cut-up.
“Dracula. He’d suck Frankenstein’s blood out,” Kermit says.
“Frankenstein’s already dead.... He ain’t got no blood,” Beans says.
“Yeah, but he’s got brains,” Pork Chop says.
“Too bad you don’t,” I say.
Aunt Minnie opens the door and hands me a covered dish.
“Here’s her lunch,” she says.
When I walk up to Nana Philly’s front porch, Smokey is waiting for me on the steps.
“Glad to see me?” I ask my cat. Miss Bea was only too happy to take in Smokey when I told her the situation.
I miss having Smokey with me, but I think Termite misses her even more.MoreLess
