Mom said I made a mess in the kitchen. That I tracked in grass and mud.
Well, boy, you did actually make a mess. You always make a mess when you wear your wellies.
But, Midnight, we had to walk through the tall grass to get to the tall tree. And there was mud, so we had to walk in it.
But, boy. You did not just walk in the mud. You stomped in the mud. See, I have to clean my fur!
She yelled at me. She said, “You are seven years old, and should know better than to….” But, I stopped listening, so I don’t know what she said next.
Yes, boy. You should know better. I am only three, and I know not to make a mess!
Midnight, you’re a cat. Cats are different. They don’t wear wellies.
Yes, boy, we are different. WE don’t splash in mud. Oh, look! The woman is opening the door! She has…
Mom! Cookies with milk! Thanks, Mom! I’ll be more careful.
No, boy. You will not be more careful, but the woman knows that.
Oh yes...the woman knows that. sigh.
ReplyDeleteWhen it comes to boys and tramping in stuff, yes. The mother knew that.
Deletehaha yep will surely happen again and again
ReplyDeleteOh, yes. Forever, even.
DeleteBoys will be boys!
ReplyDeleteI had fun with your picture also. Thanks Susan!
Boys make all mothers into realists. Mud happens. And happens...
DeleteI love the back-and-forth between the boy and the cat. Clever!
ReplyDeleteCats are always thinking, I am sure of that!
DeleteThis was delightful. You are so creative.
ReplyDeleteI think you got a handle on creativity yourself!
DeleteAwww, very sweet. Love the insight into the mind of the cat... sometimes I wonder what they're really thinking, especially around little boys. :)
ReplyDeleteCats are deep thinkers and like little boys who take them on wild adventures.
DeleteYep, we just keep handing the cookie plate over anyway. :)
ReplyDeleteOh, so true.
DeleteDelightful exchange between the boy and the cat. Moms are always forgiving... and they know everything going on inside a little boy's mind... and they always come through with treats...
ReplyDeleteWe moms must be saints...
Deletei liked this very much :)
ReplyDeleteYou have a boy or two, don't you!? Boys. Sigh.
DeleteDear Susan, indeed the mother, being a good mother, does know that! What a wonderfully creative mind you have. Peace.
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed the exchange between boy and cat.
DeleteOf course cats wear wellies. I've read all about "Puss in Boots" :)
ReplyDeleteHave a peaceful weekend, Susan.

That is very true! And I also think cats speak with Antonio Bandera's silky voice.
Deletehaha how true...eventually they get it....right?!!!
ReplyDeleteOne can hope and pray, but I don't think so.
DeleteOh bless that is so cute! Great voice(s)
ReplyDeleteBoys tend to have strong skills in rationalizing their mistakes.
