Have you ever known a dear person who, when you ask them, "Where do I put this?" meaning grocery bags or sacks of clothing, just says, "Put it anywhere, honey." So you put the bags anywhere and lo and behold, it is in the way and someone trips over it? Saskia and Tatlow went grocery shopping with Dickens to buy dog food and cat food and other food for the animals at the animal shelter and asked the same question (Marcel was taking a nap) and put the shopping bags down where they stood because Dickens said, "Put them anywhere," and Marcel woke up and tripped over them.
"Put your bags at the side of the room, not where I'm walking next time, please," he asked sleepily. Enough said.
Have you ever talked at cross-purposes with somebody? Well, they did. Saskia and Tatlow noticed that a lot of Dickens' food was missing from the fridge (food for people) and they asked Marcel about it, thinking he had eaten it, and he thought they were referring to the marshmallows he kept under his pillow for snacks, when in fact the monkey Honesty had taken the food from the fridge.
