Recently Bettina discovered it was Adopt-A-Cat Month. Since then there has been a running
conversation in our house.
Bettina: Mumma!
Mumma! Mumma! Mumma!
Mumma: What
Bettina? Can’t you see that Mumma is
trying to eat?
Bettina: It is
Adopt-A-Cat Month.
Mumma: OK thanks for
that information.
Bettina: We need to
adopt a few cats.
Mumma: I don’t
think that is a great idea.
Bettina: Oh but it
is. Maybe a nice fat juicy one, and a
couple older and slower ones. If you can
get them all declawed, I’d appreciate it.
I know I saw one in here once |
Mumma: Did you say
juicy?
Bettina: I meant cute
and cuddly.
Mumma: Bettina remember
what happened last time we had a cat around the house?
Bettina: Yes and I
still haven’t forgiven you for that.
Mumma: Forgiven
me? You’re the one who spent three days
trying to eat it.
Bettina: And that
last day I almost had it at the fence. I
can still taste it… OK if we can’t have
three cats how about one? I’ll settle
for fat and juicy, I mean cuddly.
Mumma: Are you
drooling? Sister, we will never be
adopting a cat. That is the nicest thing
we can do for kitties during June.
Bettina: I wish
someone else had adopted me.
Mumma: Yes Princess you
do have the worst luck.
Bettina: Mumma!
Mumma! Mumma! Mumma!
Mumma: What
Bettina?
Bettina: Can I have
10 cookies?
