The Sober Husband came in from driving the children to school to have a cup of coffee before work.
"While you were gone, I carried Frowst around and showed him things," I shared. (Frowsty, our most glamorous cat, enjoys being cradled in a person's arms like a baby, and he has plenty of curiosity about the world above his range of sight. Iris and I sometimes lift him up very high to show him the top shelves).
The Sober Husband considered this report. "You need another baby."
Oh No he di'int!
ReplyDeletedisagree. you need a small dog. that's what i'm going to get when there are no more babies, signed, joyce
ReplyDeletecats don't talk back and banish the other kitties to hell. just saying.
ReplyDeleteI second the small dog. I have a 2 pound "taco bell" dog and he is every bit as cute as a baby but far less trouble.
ReplyDeleteA baby won't take a shit in a dark corner of you closet. Or take naps on your dining room table. Or claw the shit out of you.
ReplyDeleteJust saying.
Borrow a baby. Then give it back. Just sayin.
ReplyDeleteHoney, if you get a little dog, Bobo is going to make its life a living hell and then dismember it. (Joyce has a ginormous orange cat with a thwarted-to-date bloodlust). You gotta wait for the far-in-the-future post-Bobo era for a little dog.
ReplyDeletePlus, babies, as cute as they are, grow into toddlers, which are far more trouble than any cat.
ReplyDeleteRuh-roh. Tell me you're not going to book a flight to Southeast Asia or Africa in an attempt to adopt an orphaned child. Then we'd have to call you Angelina Jolie instead of Jennifer Aniston.
ReplyDelete(Personally, I second the "borrow other people's babies" idea. Two is plenty!)
I could donate a couple cats to your cause. That way you could carry around a few, that way he won't think you're babying one.
ReplyDeleteYou clearly don't need another baby as you've very cleverly sublimated your desires into a cat.
ReplyDeleteJust saying.
