Proud. That was a word the first year didn't hear very often and her cheeks MIGHT have turned pink but if anyone asked, she'd just say it was a trick of the light. Maddison Cooper did NOT blush. "You're great too, Mo. Ready when you are." And he was ready, apparently. She'd let him start them off.
"The campers are ALSO careless because they're falling ASLEEP without putting our their FIRE." The twelve year old's eyes were big as she motioned towards the flames Mo had created. "CLEARLY they never heard of that Smokey the Bear character because they do NOT seem concerned about forest fires or the creatures living nearby." OUTRAGEOUS, right? Was everyone's blood boiling yet?
Maddie glanced over at Mo and gave him a small smile. He was the yeti fan so he could finish them off? She'd just stand there and look CUTE and incredibly SMART.
It wasn't a forest, really, and Mo didn't know that they had named their yeti Smokey, but he nodded along happily as Maddie talked. Everything she was saying was absolutely true, and those careless campers were to blame for so much that was wrong in the world. Like making yetis grumpy, and apparently forest fires.
"Right, right. So the yeti, being perfectly legitimate in its disgruntlement, now fears the terrible flame of the careless camper. When she sees the plushy goretex jackets and colorful tents of the camper, it reminds her of the frightening fire, and she reacts out of fear. Which is perfectly normal and I think you all would react that way too. So in conclusion, yeti aggression is a product of human carelessness and if we'd just leave them alone, they'd probably be much happier and go back to eating mountain goats." The end.
