Helping Make the Bed

Newton: Humans do a lot of things we can’t help with. We can’t open cat food cans because we don’t have thumbs. I keep hoping. But we can help make the bed.

Newton: This sheet is not smooth. Humans really like their sheets smooth, so you have to do something about the lumps.

Newton: You can use your paws for this. Just start poking whatever is causing the lumps.

Newton: Poke those lumps really hard.

Lump: HEY!

Newton: If you do this right, the lump will move right off the bed. There it goes.

    HA! We “help” make the bed the same way! Mom says our method isn’t very good. We think she’s just not paying close enough attention. It’s all about the details, you know. Those lumpy, bumpy details.

    I LOVED this! Those expressions tell the story beautifully! Almost don’t have to read their speech.

    “I was helping make the bed from the inside.” That one’s just about as believable as Newton when he said he didn’t know what was making the lump … I think he knew exactly what/who he was swatting!
