Laugh. Learn. Love cats.
Ashton: This is where I hide every night so that Newton doesn’t pick on me at bedtime. Behind the door is a special place where I’m invisible both to cats and to people. That’s why you can’t see me.
Do you have a special place where you are invisible, too?
Sibling Day starts out like any other day at our house….
Newton: Oh, hey, check it out, it’s the catnip egg. And it’s so full that there’s catnip spilling out onto the floor. SCORE!
Newton: Oh! Hey, Pierre. I didn’t see you over there. what’s happening?
Pierre: You’re playing with my catnip egg.
Newton: YOUR catnip egg? I didn’t see your name on it.
Pierre: Do you see it now? * GRAB *
Newton: !!!!!
Newton: Okay, okay, your catnip egg is over there. You can just–
Pierre: The egg will wait. I’m not through with you yet.
Newton: What are you DOING down there?
That’s pretty much how Sibling Day — and every day — goes in our house. How about in yours?
Ashton: Check cashing…. cheerleading…. cheese….
Newton: What are you doing, Ash?
Ashton: I keep hearing a chicken in the house, but I can’t find it. I can’t count on finding it in time, so I’m trying to figure out who will deliver chickens for my chicken emporium. Everyone keeps telling me that those strange, pink chicks won’t be ready to taste for a while, and I’m running out of options.
Newt: But why are you looking in there?
Ashton: I’m not sure. Pierre told me I had to let my fingers to the walking in the yellow pages. I don’t even have fingers!
Newton: Maybe he meant turn the pages?
Ashton: Oh… maybe so. If I can figure it out, I’ll have chickens brought right to the door! Which is good, since I’m pretty scared of stuff outside.
Ashton: Chemical cleaning…. chess instruction…. childcare…. WAIT A MINUTE! There’s no chicken delivery service listed? Now what?
Did you miss some of our chicken capers? You can catch up any time!
