Staring is Bad Manners

Ashton: What are you doing, Newt?

Newton: I’m showing this caterpillar some manners.

Ashton: The caterpillar needs manners?

Newton: It was staring at me.

Ashton: Do you think that will really teach it to stop staring?

Newton: I don’t know, but now YOU’RE staring at me while I’m at it.

Ashton: I have better manners than a caterpillar. But we both have stripes.

Newton: What do stripes have to… never mind. No staring by anyone with stripes!

Newton_caterpillar_04_wm

Newton: I see you out there. You’re staring, too. Don’t tell me that it’s because you have stripes, too.

    I’m a ticked tabby, and as a Somali, stripes would be against my breed standard.

    Caterpillars are notoriously bad mannered. Thank you for helping to teach them right, Newton!
    We saw your comment on our blog about having to fill out the comment form each time you visit – and no, it is that way for everyone. For some reason, Weebly does not have the capability to remember things. I apologize and wish there was something I could do, but unfortunately there isn’t 🙁
