The "Cat Toy"
Well the first time Jon found it he was 4, he said " Hey Whats This??" The quick thinker I am I said, " Oh that? ummm ya that is a cat toy!" Jon said, " Well that's kind of big for a cat isn't? How does it work? What does the cat do with that?" Quick thinker Me says, " uhh the cat rolls it around on floor." Standing there with said "Cat Toy" in hand I put it away and changed the subject! So I figured that was the end of that. I'll be more careful where I put the "Cat Toy" from now on.
Three years later:
We had just moved into a new place and decided to go through the picture box. We were sitting on my bed and got out some pictures of Jon as a baby. Just then Jon finds it! Yes the "Cat Toy" Again he says hey whats this? Once again being the quick thinker I am I say, "Ummm ya that's a "Cat Toy"! Jon said, " Well we don't even have a cat." Oops slight mistake there! The first time 3 years earlier we actually had a cat! So I 'm sitting there, not thinking so quickly now as I watch my 7 yr old examine what he believes to be a "Cat Toy" Here comes the questions, " What does this do? How does a cat play with this? Isn't this to big for a cats mouth? I want to see how this thing works. Why would a cat roll this around on the ground? Maybe since we don't have a cat the dogs would like this?........ROFL Maybe Granny's cat would want it.
Ok now I'm thinking great! Can't you just picture it, You are sitting around the kitchen table and out comes your kid with the "Cat Toy", Hey Granny do you think your cat would like this??
Finally I said, "Let me have that I'll put it up." Jon said, "Why do you have to hide that? "Umm lets just look at pictures OK??" Ok but I still want to know how that thing works!
Can you just imagine a few years down the road and Jon is dating and he finds his g/f "Cat Toy"? Hey my Mom has a "Cat Toy" just like this. I didn't know you had a cat!
Well a few months later we actually got a cat! Hey Mom where is that "Cat Toy"? I want to see the cat play with that thing! Diversion time! I think we should just go to K-Mart and see what's on sale!!
So the moral of the story is " Keep your " Cat Toys" well hidden!! |
