     I also remembered Teddy’s question
and asked her about that. She puckered 
her lips, “I do remember the show about
the talking horse, but what brought    
that up?”                              
     I almost told her about Teddy, but
after all that crap I told her yester- 
day, she probably wouldn’t believe me  
anyway.                                
     “Oh, you know how my mind works. I
was wondering what mice would say if   
they could talk. What if all the       
animals in the world can talk, but they
only do it to a select few, and then I 
wondered what the criteria for that    
was? That led me to Denise. You        
remember Denise, right? That led me to 
the TV show, and well, here we are     
wondering about it.”                   
     “I remember Denise, and now you   
got me wondering too. You should look  
it up. You’re good at that stuff.”     
     Computers and smart-phones mysti- 
fied the shit out of me, but search    
engines... that was my forte, and I got
right on it. It only took me a couple  
minutes before finding three possibles.
     The most logical one was that the 
actor looked like someone a horse would
talk to, and that’s the impression I   
also got, but then I had to wonder,    
what the hell did Teddy mean by that?  
     When I got home that night, I told
Beth everything, and then asked her,   
“What do you think it means?”          
     “I don’t know hon. Maybe, it means
the voice is coming from a horse?”     
     “It’d have to be a lot smaller    
than a horse to fit inside that vent.” 
     “Maybe it’s a tiny-little horse,” 
She said, showed me how small, and then
started laughing.                      
     Picturing a tiny-little talking   
horse in my head got me laughing right 
along with her.                        
     When she finally caught her       
breath, she added, “Maybe it’s a       
talking teddy bear,” and that just got 
us going again.
