Cute. But I didn't like the new Amarillo boss. He seemed like a real @$!##!$@! Why lead the poor deer hostess along like that. There was no reason for him to pretend not to speak deer.nwould never work for that prick.

    I patterned him after a possum boss I once had. The armadillo had thicker skin though.

    Yeah, bosses can be a pain. I've hardly ever met a boss I looked in the past 56 years.

Those armadillos can be such cutthroat business people. I'd like to see that whole herd (or whatever they're called) show up. The hostess could file a discrimination suit. She was clearly fired for being a deer. He will probably put an armadillo relative in her place. That's nepotism as well as discrimination. My sympathies are with the deer. Great fun with the language. judi

    The restaurants are all vegetarian as well.

    The vegetarian restaurant in the town where I live just closed. Too many armadillos, maybe. judi

In a land where more than one tongue is spoken it is beneficial to be able to speak many tongues or run the risk of ruining your future by misspeaking to the wrong person at the most inappropriate time. Oh, and one must never, ever speak with a forked tongue.

What a fun script -- an animal restaurant! :) :) You've got quite the imagination there, sir - loved the back and forth once it was obvious they were 'not on the same wavelength'...made me chuckle. :) :) The ending line, however, seals the chuckle deal to a full on smile - thanx for sharing! :) :) Yvette

This has a quirky amusement factor to it. It started out like a joke related to "An armadillo walked into a bar....."

The "heard of our herd" line wasn't missed but I would've liked to have seen a couple more plays on words along similar lines. Nice effort.

Lol. Well, that was inevitable that Ms. Deer would be fired. But Mr. Armadillo could have given maybe a few more details about his name. Good thing he's the new manager. Hope his granddaughter does all the communication.

    Thanks, lyenochka. Armadillo is a simple language consisting of one word. You have to hear the inflections to get it.

Very funny piece you've wrote here. The armadillo only said one word and it was annoying to the hostess. But, she got fired by the armadillo. Very good story.

Hi Bill. Cute again. But I don't think Ms. Deer should have been fired. I think the granddaughter should have said the same thing to the deer. Haha. Nice grandpa armadillo story. Thank you for sharing

    I was contemplating that, but a couple of voices suggested that THAT would sound too 'I am Groot-ish'. Another said that the dry humor would come off as incomplete. I settled for giving her a bit more of an entitled tone that would contrast with her dismissal. Thanks so much for giving this a look.

    It definitely would NOT have been a story then. I was not suggesting you change it. Thinking too much about real life
