Tails.

“Uhhh….Big Molly?” said Bean.  “Uhhh… There’s something hanging off of you back here…”

“What the…??” said Bean.

“Hey, uh, Molly?” said Bean.  “I mean, I don’t want to scare you or anything, but this thing is pretty big.  And hairy, too.”

“Oh, that’s my tail,” said Big Molly.

“What’s a tail?” asked Bean.

“You know,” said Big Molly.  “Its that thing that chases you around and then sometimes you can chase it around and then you can catch it and then you can chew on it.  But that kind of hurts.”

“I don’t think I have one of those,” said Bean.

“Sure you do,” said Big Molly.  “Stand up.  I’ll show you.”

“Okay,” said Bean.  “But I don’t think I do…”

“Well?” said Bean.  “Do I have one?”

“Huh,” said Big Molly.  “You don’t.”

(silence)

“Well then give me yours!”
