~ Hello?
~ This is The Banshee. May I speak to Uncle Beloved, please?
~ Oh, sweetie, he’s not here right now.
A pause, where I could feel a small ripple, a slight crumpling, on the other end of the line.
~ But if you let me talk to your mommy, I’ll give her a number where you can reach him, okay?
~ Okay, Tee Tee. Talk to my mom. Bye.

ring ring ring …..
~ Hello?
~ Uncle Beloved, this is The Banshee.
~ Oh, HI!
~ I’m gonna sing you a song, okay?
~ You’re gonna sing me a song? That’s GREAT!
~ Yes. I’m ready to start, okay?
~ Great! I’m listening.
A loud dramatic rendition of Happy Birthday follows.
~ Okay. I’m done now.
~ Wow, thanks! That was awesome!
~ ‘Bye, Uncle Beloved.
~ Oh. Uhm, bye!
Hahahahaha. She strutted her moment on the stage and was completely done with it. She kills me.
She really IS all business! Ha ha! But that was sooo sweet of her.
This is especially adorable, b/c it’s the sort of thing you’d expect Piper to do, but she does it with her own Banshee flair.
That is better than a song in a card any day.
