You shouldn't do this.

Wait until Mom finds out.

(laughing): Mom already knows.

She wants me to go.

She does?

Does she know you're going without me?

Uh-huh.

Oh... (panting) Oh, Martha.

Stop worrying.

But Helen.

What if there are monsters out there?

Or tigers?

It's too dangerous.

You know what's dangerous?

You getting all under my feet.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

I won't do it again.

Please don't leave me.

I won't be at art camp for long.

Stop looking morose.

I'm sorry I'm looking more oase.

I'd look less "oase" if I knew what "oase" meant.

When someone looks morose, it means they look really unhappy or sad.

I can't help it.

I get morose when you're away from me.

Ready to head out?

Why the long face?

I'm a dog.

We have long faces.

If you wanted a short face, you should've gotten a pug.

Or a Pekinese.

Saying someone has a long face is another way of saying they look morose or sad.

Helen!

Don't go!
