Our neighbors have become used to Polly and are now tricking their families and friends. Occasionally we wheel Polly out on the porch. Neighbor drive by, honk and wave.
Two little girls visiting across the street shouted from the porch , "Hello, Lady in the Pink!"
Getting no response they started riding their bikes and repeatedly rode past our house waving and saying hello to Polly. My husband, thinking this was great fun started turning Polly's head after each pass when they were beyond sight.
The girls began arguing about whether they had actually seen her head move because "I swear, she was looking the other way before!". Finally the bravest of the two rode right to the end of the bridge and got off her bike, had a really good look and shivering rode away on her bike muttering under her breath "Dummy, Dummy, Dummy..."
