Mom: Alice, do you want to go play in Grandma's backyard? Alice: No, I don't - Grandma: Big Shirley's back there. I'll bet she's hungry! Mom: Let's give Big Shirley a treat! I'll come out with you! Okay? Grandma: There's a big bag of doggie treats by the back door. Just give her a few. You know how she is... Alice: Nuh - buh - buh - guh... Grandma: When she starts eating she never knows when to stop.

Big Shirley looks pretty fierce! I wonder if “little girls” are on her menu? Hang in there, Alice!

Brr! I shiver in sympathy with Alice’s reluctance, and am laughing at the same time. Classic and timeless.
Uhohkid, you compound the peril in my mind, bringing up Polyfill. May its innards never have to mark retreat!

maybe it’s good that Alice is scared of Big Shirley, or she might try to go for a ride!

Why does Big Shirley remind me of KITTY, who I am not at all afraid of.

No wonder Big Shirley is hungry, just look at that tiny bowl! You can’t get a steak in there! Poor Alice, shocked and speechless at the same time, WOW!

Big Shirley looks like the Big Bad Wolf. Alice is in the wrong fairytale. (Doesn’t Alice remind you of Alice in Wonderland, the way she surrounds herself with weirdness?)

Big Shirley looks like a Big Sweetie to me. I wanna give her a big hug.
As far as I can recall Big Shirley’s never actually DONE anything agressive or even particularly scary. Alice is frightened of her just on general principle…
