Her coffee wuz done cold and the whip cream wuz flat. She per-tended not ta see her cup and grabbed up another one. While mixin' up her cofffee, she felt a wiggle inna her cleavage what reminded her of Teddy. She reached inna there and drug out the tiny creature by his hairy legs. "I don't wanna see ya git yourself near the food. Do ya hear me, now? I'm gonna slip ya right inna my pocket and I want ya ta stay put." Daisy jammed her hand inna the right pocket of her now comfy dress and something poked her inna wrist. She dropped the bug, grab ahold of a slim, cool thingie and pulled it out. Ta her surprise, it wuz one of them there thingies the doctors always use. A thermometer, that's what they wuz called. She figured the lady what owned the dress must've been a nurse or something. Daisy held the glass tube up ta the light, squashed one eye closed and tried ta read the gauge.
