Clifford!

While we were at the mall, Peeper couldn't resist the riding toys, of course.

When she and I got there (Shrike met up with us), I didn't have any change, so I told her that she could sit on them, but I couldn't make them go.

As she moved to a different one, I reminded her that "I can't make it go, because I don't have any quarters."

She said, in this dramatic, pained, sympathetic voice that she does, "Oh, I sooowwy, Mama!"

I asked what she was sorry about, and she said, "I sowwy 'bout have no quarters!"
