What am I supposed to do with all this snow - is that what folk have been calling it? The cold is treacherous and my son is sick from being out in it so long. [pause] I hope everyone's taking care of themselves. When you stop shivering it doesn't mean you're suddenly not cold anymore!

Oh, I'll make sure to try it!

The ones with adventure and danger are the best! Maybe about a heroic meerkat who saves the day and wins a big bucket of slimy grubs!

[Voice]

[meerkatmama.livejournal.com]

Hmmm... [not her normal schtick but...] I like the way you think!

[Voice]

[gold-dust-pixie.livejournal.com]

Oh...thanks! My name's Tinkerbell, by the way. I met your son last week, before all this snow came.

[Voice]

[meerkatmama.livejournal.com]

Tinkerbell, huh. It's nice to meet you.

[Voice]

[gold-dust-pixie.livejournal.com]

Nice to meet you too! So...what was Timon like as a baby?

[Voice]

[meerkatmama.livejournal.com]

Complicated.

That boy! He had ambitions even when he was young! [this probably wasn't a good thing, but she's not going to mention that]

[Voice]

[gold-dust-pixie.livejournal.com]

Wow, I didn't think he was the ambitious type... What sort of ambitions?

[Voice]

[meerkatmama.livejournal.com]

[her voice is a bit unamused] He once made a slingshot to battle off hyenas with rocks, but instead of hitting the hyenas, he hit his Uncle Max and almost got eaten by the hyenas.

[she tries not to laugh but she can't help it -- there's some muffled giggles] O-oh! Geez, that's...well, great invention always has some risk!

[Voice]

[meerkatmama.livejournal.com]

[she doesn't get what's so funny]

And then there was the time with the "underground pool"...

[Voice]

[gold-dust-pixie.livejournal.com]

[she suspects, but she might as well ask...] How'd that turn out?

[Voice]

[meerkatmama.livejournal.com]

Not as well as he was probably hoping, that's for sure!

[Voice]

[cowardly-hero.livejournal.com]

Maaaaa, stop it. No one needs to know about that!

[Voice]

[gold-dust-pixie.livejournal.com]

It's not that bad! Every inventor runs into trouble now and again. But throwing a rock at your uncle...[she chuckles]

[Voice]

[cowardly-hero.livejournal.com]

I didn't mean to hit him. He got in the way!

[Voice]

[gold-dust-pixie.livejournal.com]

Well, he was okay, right? Did you work out the kinks?

[Voice]

[cowardly-hero.livejournal.com]

No, I had to get rid of the thing before I hurt anyone else.

[Voice]

[gold-dust-pixie.livejournal.com]

Oh...well, if you want, maybe we can try to make another one. It was a good idea, after all.

[Voice]

[cowardly-hero.livejournal.com]

I probably shouldn't. Like Uncle Max said, I'm gonna wind up killin' someone with that thing.

Thanks, though.

[Voice]

[gold-dust-pixie.livejournal.com]

Well that's only because you haven't worked out the bugs! It sounds like a pretty useful thing when you get right down to it... Do you still like to invent stuff?

[Voice] [Locked]

[cowardly-hero.livejournal.com]

Well... As long as you don't tell Ma about it...

Yeah! I got all kinds of stuff back home. I made these 'shades' once to stop the sun from shinin' in our faces every morning.

[Voice]

[meerkatmama.livejournal.com]

But she asked. There's no harm, Timon.

[Voice]

[cowardly-hero.livejournal.com]

Only to my dignity...

[Voice]

[gold-dust-pixie.livejournal.com]

[she giggles more] Poor Timon!
