Gnome Remodeling

Jason hunkered down on his heels. "Look," he told the gnomes, "this is just not working."

"Swee-twee-swee-fweee-dee?"

"I know it's what you do." Jason held up a hand to forestall the chittering protest. "I get that, I really do. But yesterday I was thirty minutes late, and if I miss my start of shift again, I'm going to lose my job. No job, no house, capice?"

"Quee?"

"I asked if you understood."

"Chee-twee-swee-swee-fwee."

"Well, let's see if we can find a compromise. Can we come up with a list of places where my car keys might end up every morning?"
