Vinnie and Charley Get Ready for Christmas

A merry (and wholly innocent!) tale for the festive season.

***

Today, Vinnie and Charley are getting ready for Christmas. Do you like Christmas? Vinnie does. See the mistletoe. Charley tells Vinnie to get the turkey and Christmas tree ready whilst she goes to town to do some shopping for presents and cards.
“Do you have any shopping to do?” asks Charley.
“Yes, I do” says Vinnie. Vinnie would like to buy Charley a nice present. Kind Vinnie.
When Charley has gone, Carbine comes in.
“Hello, Vinnie!” says Carbine.
“Hello, Carbine!” says Vinnie. What fun! “I have to get the turkey and Christmas tree ready, and then go and do some shopping.” Carbine says,
“If I help you with the tree and turkey, you will have more time to look for nice presents.” Helpful Carbine. The two mice start to prepare the turkey. “I think we should make a nice sage and onion mixture to fill the turkey” says Carbine. “That is the best sort.”
“What a good idea” says Vinnie. Do you think it’s safest to agree with Carbine? Vinnie does. Together, Vinnie and Carbine make the mixture, and put it in the turkey. It is a very messy business, and Vinnie has to clean up afterwards.
After that, Vinnie brings in the tree. It is a very big one.
“I couldn’t lift that on my own” says Carbine. “Make sure it’s properly upright. I’m sure it’s leaning a centimetre too far to the left.” Do you know what a nitpicker is? Vinnie does. Hear Vinnie’s muttered swearwords. Naughty Vinnie.
“There are some little treats to nibble after dinner” Vinnie tells Carbine. “I have got some bowls of brazils and hazels.”
“I haven’t have them before” says Carbine. “Can I try some?” Greedy Carbine.
When they have finished, Vinnie thanks Carbine for helping, and goes into town to buy Charley a nice present. All that shopping makes Vinnie hungry. He sees Harley.
“Hello, Harley!” says Vinnie.
“Hello, Vinnie!” says Harley. What larks! “Isn’t it cold” says Harley. Paint Harley’s nose red. “I need a warming drink.” Vinnie and Harley find a little café down a side street, where Vinnie buys Harley a warm drink, and gets himself a jumbo hotdog.
“What a big hotdog!” says Harley. “Could I have some of it?”
“Of course” says Vinnie. Kind Vinnie. When Vinnie has finished, he says goodbye to Harley and goes home. Charley has also come back. She has purchased some holly for decorations.
“Hello, Vinnie!” says Charley. “Have you done all your jobs?”
“Yes” says Vinnie. “Carbine helped. She said she wanted a good stuffing, and we got very dirty doing it on the kitchen table. When we were decorating the tree, Carbine said she was glad of a big strong mouse, and that she wanted to see it fully erect. When it was, she enjoyed tasting my nuts. Then I went into town. I met Harley. She said she wanted something hot inside her, so I gave her one down an alley. At one point she had her mouth full of my enormous sausage.”
Do you know where to put holly? Charley does. Run, Vinnie! Run! Poor Vinnie.

But Vinnie has an innocent mind, and doesn't understand what he's said that's wrong!

LOL!

"Do you know what a nitpicker is? Vinnie does. Hear Vinnie's muttered swear words. Naughty Vinnie!"

I know the true punchline comes in the delightfully dirty twist at the end, but honestly I find myself cracking up over the narration in the beginning, especially the interactions between Carbine and Vinnie. Hilarious!!
