This Week's Ten Word Challenge: parasite, meals on wheels, crows, it's my fault, everything but the kitchen sink, on sale, patriotism, the love of my life, library card, common sense

And for the mini: blackmail, California, stethoscope, postage, crank

"Oh, Wise Phrog", said Sallyie, "What are we going to do? The Albino Aardvark has escaped. I was getting my pills for the awful tapeworm parasite that I got from eating the meals on wheels delivered by the Crows. (That horrible family). It's my fault he escaped. I was looking through my purse (You know it has everything but the kitchen sink in it. (I got it on sale) and it has a theme of patriotism. I am not really sorry for he was the love of my life and I did not want to have to sacrifice him. All I found in the purse was an underused library card. I was blinded by the colors and he just eacaped. Common sense would tell me that I should have telephoned the security but I was afraid of blackmail."

"Settle down Sallyie", said Phrog. "It will be all right. He did not escape. I let him go. I was going to tell you that I sent him to California, as the Grand Exalted Ruler of the Salamanders. He is flying there with a stethoscope and my sealed instructions to the California Salamanders. (Actually I would have mailed them but postage has gone up so much that it was cheaper to buy an airline ticket.) I also sent him the crank for the new motor they have purchased. So you see my dear, everything is under (my) control.
