The Perfect Booby Trap
tales of asher & zephyr book 5
Excerpt
ZEPHYR
Ash, how much is a dashboard?
ASHER
A dashboard?
ZEPHYR
Yah.
ASHER
Why do you want one?
ZEPHYR
I want to dash around the neighborhood!
ASHER
Umm… a dashboard isn’t used for “dashing”.
ZEPHYR
What’s it used for?
ASHER
It’s an instrument that monitors, measures, and analyzes relevant data in key areas…
ZEPHYR
Isn’t that a monimelyzer?
ASHER
No! What you want is a scooter.
ZEPHYR
Why?
ASHER
You can dash around the neighborhood on one.
ZEPHYR
A scooter dashes and a dashboard has nothing to do with movement?
ASHER
Yup. Why don’t you give me a hand. I’m building a booby trap. Dad claims he isn’t eating my gummy bears. I’m going to catch him red handed.
ZEPHYR
That’s not a booby trap.
ASHER
How would you know?
ZEPHYR
I’ve seen one and that’s not it.
ASHER
Zeph, there are countless ways to make a booby trap.
ZEPHYR
No. There’s only one booby trap.
ASHER
Countless.
ZEPHYR
One.
ASHER
Countless!
ZEPHYR
One!
ASHER
Countless!
ZEPHYR
One!
ASHER
Ok! What does a booby trap look like?
ZEPHYR
I can’t remember…
ASHER
There’s only one way to settle this!
