Interview With A Skeleton - Part 3

Bony: Stuck for a picture again, are we?

Me: What gives you that idea?

Bony: The fact that you are here smiling at me through clenched teeth. You must be after something.

Me: *sighing* Do you have to be so awkward? I was wondering two things - 1. Why you have given up on Christmas already changing to a different hat and 2. Why you are wearing my new scarf.

Bony: Oh the tinsel was bringing me out in a rash and the Santa hat was making me look most undignified when it slipped down over my eyes looking like I had a traffic cone on my head. Anyway, I like to look unusual and wear things that no one else wears. I want to stand out in a crowd not blend in with all the other prats in hats at this time of year!

Me: I assure you, you will never blend in with a crowd Bony, not unless you start hanging out in graveyards!

Bony: Ha! Like you? I saw that picture of the Celtic cross you took on Monday. It's a wonder you didn't create a huge panic with passers by thinking you were someone who'd risen from the dead!

Me: You cheeky bag of bones! I wish I'd tried harder to get a picture of that strange bird with a long neck in the tall trees at the end of the garden earlier instead!

Bony: Bird with a long neck? Who was it? Naomi Campbell?

Me: You really are awful! Anyway, you haven't explained why you are wearing my new scarf yet.

Bony: I think it goes beautifully with my kilt in my favourite colours of green and black. Also it's warm and really long so it covers my dingly dangly when it hangs below my kilt!

Me: Your dingly dangly has not been dingle dangling for years I should think. Things shrivel up with lack of use, you know?

Bony: Ah. That's what's happened to you. You are shrivelled up like an ancient prune! No wonder you want to work from home all the time!

Me: *click of camera* Right! That's you done for another while! Your nuts have been eaten by the squirrel by the way and I'm taking my scarf to Ayr with me.

Bony: Good idea! Wrap it right round your face like a bandage. It will improve your appearance 100%.

Me: HUMPH!
