Just for fun, using the Alphabet Game to play with constrained dialogue. Written in the shower…
‘Aardvarks Peter, aardvarks’
‘But Dad, I want to be a dentist’
‘Can’t abandon the lovely ‘varks’
‘Dad, please listen – dentistry fills my heart’
‘Everyone loves a good aard vark’
‘Father, seriously-‘
‘Giving this aardvark farm to you is all I ever wanted’
‘Hey, that’s not fair’
‘It’s true’
‘Just hold on’
‘…Kept these aardvarks for forty years’
‘Let’s try to keep some perspective’
‘Me and your granddad started this farm together’
‘No you didn’t, you bought it’
‘Oh yes, you know it all, just like a dentist son’
‘Please. What about my brother?’
‘Quincy?’
‘Right, he can look after it’
‘Sold two aardvarks for a pint’
‘That I did not know’
‘Unless you care for them he’ll drink the whole farm away’
‘Very well – I’ll stay alright’
‘Well done son’
‘eXcept I do still want to be a dentist, one day’
‘Zoological dentist…?’

Love your writing – I don’t know how you find enough hours in the day to scribble this much entertainment and wield more adjectives than I ever knew existed. Keep it comin’, I really look forward to every chapter!
Thanks! That means a lot to me. I am also unsure when I find the time… though there’s always time to find another adjective!
