Temptation

Taken from The Pioneer Woman blog - hilarious.

I wait until Charlie is in a deep, deep sleep. In the hot summer, his naps are are always deep.

Then I place a small morsel of food in the proximity of his nose. This happens to be a small piece of scrambled egg left over from breakfast.

Seconds pass with no response. So I nudge it a little closer.

Still no response, so I nudge it even closer. Not a wink of a reaction.

Charlie drives a hard bargain.

So I break out the big guns.

“The big guns”, in this case, is bacon.

Just a tiny sliver of bacon. But that’s usually all it takes.

C’mon, Charlie. Don’t let me down. Folks are watching.

Oh, yes. I believe it’s going to happen.

Oh, yeah. It’s definitely going to happen.

Wait…

Oh, no! I can’t believe it.

He’s going back to sleep?

It’s not possible!

Oh, ho ho ho.

I knew he’d come through.

And…

Three seconds later…

He’s back to sleep.

Charlie leads a very hard life.

But I wanna try the egg one last time.

Heh heh. See, now I’ve awakened his senses.

Here we go.

And, three seconds later…

He’s gone.
