5 SECOND STORIES

During the early days of the Germans bombing London, kids vied to be the first out of the bomb shelters. They wanted to be on the streets to gather up bomb shrapnel which had become currency amongst the kids.

 

Buddy has revealed that he enjoys curling up in the bathroom sink often when Mom is brushing her teeth. She has to inspire him to leave so she can spit. Kids...

 

We've never had a cat who loves to stretch out on the fireplace hearth and get nice and toasty. This alarmed his Mom who worried the knucklehead would hurt himself. He's fine and this has created an addition to our family lexicon for close calls: "well, singe my whiskers."

Many humans work with the misguided premise that  we are too stupid to communicate anything but the most rudimentary concepts. Eventually, they will get over their confusion and comply with your request."

I'm happy to report that we had figured this out many years ago. In fact, this was featured in the very first blog entry on March 3, 2013 with Two Guys Talkin'.


Follow the tail!

 
Imagine being Tom Jones and singing "What's New Pussycat?" for 50 years?
