T is for Tiger Trouble

Talia took her twin toddlers and their toys to the terrace. The toddlers tossed their toys and Talia turned a top and tickled their toes. The toddlers tittered while titmice tweeted. Tonya, through a tapestry of a topiary, detected the twitching tail of a tiger.

Talia! Tiger in the trees!”

Talia took Tommy and tossed him to Tonya, then tensed. The tiger turned to look.

Tonya took Tommy to his cot, then tempted the tiger from the tower and tossed a t-bone through a window to the tiger. The tiger trounced toward the t-bone and Talia took Tia inside.

[A drabble is a story in exactly 100 words.]
[The inspiration for this drabble was a dream I had that went almost exactly like this.]

T is ALSO for THURSDAY!!! And twentieth (T is the 20th letter)
But most importantly, T is for TART!!!
