Saddle Up!

Fin (scared): Mom! Get Dad!

Mom (concerned): What is it Finny? Something in the bathroom got you spooked?

::Looks into the dark bathroom and sees a familiar shape on the floor of the darkened shower::

Mom (chuckling): Oh sweetie, did you drop one of your mice in the shower again? (smugly) I think I can take care of that without your Dad.

::Flips on the light which reveals the largest bug ever seen on the shower floor::

Mom: Mother Fluff!

Fin & Mom (yelling): DAAAADDDDD!

Mom (scooping Fin into her arms for protection): Thank Cod you didn't use the Paw Of Doom on that thing! All it needs is a saddle and you could ride around on it. Oh my Cod, is it moving? DAD!

Dad (worried at all the yelling): What's wrong?!

Mom: Look in the shower! It's the biggest bug ever!!

Dad (horrified): Holy [expletive deleted]! Did Fin kill it?

Mom: No! It's too big for Finny! You need to kill it!

Dad: Sure I'll kill it, but look at her wriggling. I think she wants her turn at it.

Fin: No Dad, I'm good. I wanted to hang out under the bed till you're done here. Hey how do you think it got in here?

Mom (shuddering): I don't know?!!

Paw of Doom I

It's arrived! My toy to test! It's called a Crazy Cat Cat Quest (available at fine pet retailers).

Mom, my paw was on the name of toy!

Mommy finally opened the package and naturally I played it cool and ignored it - for a solid minute - but when it's little battery-operated wings started fluttering, well I'm a cat after all. There was a short break in the action as Mommy assembled the toy (30 seconds) and tried to see if she could make a video (5 minutes). She even enlisted Daddy's help to no avail.

I'm so not interested in you little dragonfly
::I felt I needed to catch him off guard::

Whap with the paw of doom,


and he's out of here! Oh no he's coming back for more!

You think you can take me?

You haven't seen the last of the double paws of doom!
