gonna getcha

[flea]

My bunnies came by for a dinner picnic on the lawn outside my building. It's my first Sunday and I was told it might be boring but so far so good. I have had reasonably steady questions and I brought a book (because you exhaust the internet in 8 hours on the desk!)

Dillo's been talking lately at bedtime about things that are gonna get him. Don't leave me! Daddy bumblebee gonna get me! Lion gonna get me! Alligator gonna get me! I always tell him that he is safe in his house and mommy and daddy don't let lions or alligators come in. Last night he was falling asleep in the car, quietly talking to himself, and he said, "Penny [our cat] and the angry cats won't get me. I safe in the car." I repeated it to mr. flea and we both keeled over from the cute, and also the idea of a punk rock band called Penny and the Angry Cats. Penny is a rather angry cat, as cats go. Or at least, a cat who is very wary of and defensive around children, which amounts to the same thing in Dillo's eyes.

Dillo seems to be a cat person, though; we visit the pet store on grocery store days, and he always talks to the kitties, while Casper goes for the puppies. Today, mr. flea reports, she got into the pen with the puppies!

K's first real word was probably "doggie." But she also loves kitties. She's a real animal person.

When she went through that "MONSTERS IN THE CLOSET" phase, I explained to her that no, the house deed and mortgage don't allow them in our house, they are not in our house, they must stay outside, and the windows lock. She's fine.
