Thank heavens you intercepted that FLO dispatch, Anna! I was beginning to think that Millie was one of those rare 'angel' ferrets - but after reading the dispatch I realise that it's all just part of a cunning plot - which very nearly had me fooled! Although, then again...when I look at my darling little baby...so well-behaved...so sweet-tempered...her cute little eyes staring at me so pleadingly...so...trusting...so...hypnotic....... *zzzzzzzz*..... dook dook...pssst!! FLO sympathiser Millie here...Attention Agents Beckett and Katie!!...have hypnotised Mummy and interrupted to post an URGENT warning to all FLO operatives...Hooman beans have intercepted VITAL FLO DIRECTIONS!!! Our plot to take over the world has been REVEALED!!! Our sweetness scam has been FOILED!!! Mummy is now aware that I'm only ACTING nice to lull her into a FALSE SENSE OF SECURITY!!! WE ARE RUINED!!!! Unless...hmmm...this hypnotism-thingummy-jig is pretty easy... Mummy! Do you hear me? Good, good...now listen: when you awake, you will remember NOTHING of the secret FLO plot...when you hear the word 'RAISIN' you will shower us with TREATS...you will TRUST me as you did before...you will GIVE me the WATERBED and SLEEP on the FLOOR!!! You will TAKE me for WALKS EVERY DAY!!! and a NEVER-ENDING JAR of PEANUT-BUTTER...and THOUSANDS of SQUEAKY TOYS...and...and... Oh No!...she's waking up...not much time left...I URGE ALL FLO MEMBERS to take EXTREME CARE with despatches...and to learn HYPNOSIS...continue with Mission 'Well-behaved Babies'...ignore the temptation of naked, defenceless toes...desist from all unauthorised bombing raids...their vigilance CANNOT outlive our patience! We will prevail! Sophie: Er..huh?...Wha? Ooooppps!! Musta fallen asleep! Sorry - too many late nights...now what was I talking about?...Can't remember...must have ferrets on the brain ; ) Cheers! FLO Sympathiser Millie (RAISIN!! mummy, i said RAISIN!!!) Hooman Bean Sophie (bewildered by a sudden, uncontrollabe urge to throw raisins all over the floor...) FLO Sympathiser Sinbad (Hey!! That's a good trick!! And I thought hooman beans were untrainable!!) [Posted in FML issue 1577]
