Sorry I've been away for a little longer than normal. My extra time in the evenings have been spent, you know, doing productive stuff. Volunteering at the homeless shelter, rescuing kittens in trees, helping old ladies cross the street.....Ok whatever. I've just been lazy.
But let me just say that when you live
So last night New Pet, our cat, was hanging around me, and I notice he had something sticky in his fur. Now this didn't shock me at all. I've thought since day one that it's just a matter of time before someone drops their gum on him, sticks a sucker to his tail or tries to shave him. So this really didn't phase me at all. I called the clowns into the room and ask them what's on the cats back.
Now both the girls look at me with that blank stare as to say..What???
But the boy......He knew right away what I was talking about. Now I won't be able to do it justice, but if you've ever sat and listened to a five year old tell a story you'll know what I'm talking about. Here's his account of what exactly was stuck to New Pet:
Well the other day.....well I didn't mean to.....the other day....the other night...when i was...i didn't mean to but when i was getting....i was brushing my teeth...and i had....i tried to put.....well i got the tooth paste on my tooth brush... no wait....the tooth paste was...hold on...dad i'm just gonna start over...
Ok buddy, just tell me what happened.
Taking a deep breath:
Well, when I was getting my teeth brushed....i got tooth paste on my brush...there was tooth paste on my hand and it got on the kitty.
Very well then. Let's get ready for bed....and this time leave the cat alone. Just a typical Day in the Life.....

Leave me a comment Lifers.....
Stories take some preparation, you know. Background and stuff. Making sure you are clear. Yes, I've heard a five year old tell a story. Too cute. (Still laughing at toothpaste on the kitty)
