Originally just a little pail in the sandbox or for playing on the beach, after much abuse from a certain canine, this pail is resigning itself to be merely and indoor dog’s toy. The children protest that the pail in the sandbox not resign because it hasn’t fulfilled its obligations and although a bit tattered and without a handle attached, it still can hold some water and can still be upturned full of sand to create building blocks of sandcastles. But the pail in the sandbox is steadfast in its decision to resign and tries to bamboozle the children through obfuscation rife with nonsensical sports analogies and stories of great historical buckets that were used to douse buildings on fire in the days preceding the modern firetruck. The children aren’t really buying it and are fine with getting a new pail in the sandbox to replace the resigned one and I, for one, am happy to have another toy for the dog in hopes that it stops chewing on things I want to preserve.
