The never-ending game of cone

It was early Monday morning. I was standing in my office, brushing my teeth and watching
George and Alan play with the remains of a cone. My toothbrush turned off after two minutes 
but the game of cone continued. Surely if I raced to get dressed and go outside with the camera, 
the game would be over and the rushing around would have been pointless.


I was wrong. The game kept going...



...and going...



...and going.



Well into the ninth inning, the chickens started heckling across the fence.
I couldn't blame them. They wanted breakfast. Me, too.



Lucy gave up and took a nap as the game went into extra innings.



George: Please let it be over soon. Even I'm bored.



Finally, Alan took one for the team and let go.

      Love it! Game of Cones! ha ha
      I guess that means you will have to buy a couple more, seeing that they have torn that one up pretty good...;)
