Hahaha funny?

Critter seemed to think so - so much so, he did it again this morning. At least this time the cats were awake. They were like, "INCOMING!!" and both cleared the area before he got there. I had just taken something out of the microwave, and he threw a quick look over his shoulder to make sure neither cat wound up on me or in what I was holding (or in the still-open microwave oven!).

I'm not worried about the cats; they are 18-month-old neutered Toms that love wild and crazy games. But for cryin' out loud, Critter's going to be 53 in a couple of weeks (if he lives that long!) and here he is sock-skating in the house like a 6-year-old!

Daddy got around a bit. Critter may very well be my brother. His behavior seems perfectly normal to me. Has he ever engaged in house wide water fights - bringing the hose in from outside? Sure impressed my daughter's friend - that kid never came back.

Am I wrong, or does it seem as if "Critter" is
letting the winter get to him? I don't know if I
would close my eyes at night, Bunny...

(everyone think "The Shinning" here...)

Well, that kid was boring and unfit to be a friend, in that case. If it had been me, I would have all but begged you to adopt me so that I could join in such fun!

Tani, she was backed against the kitchen wall in wide eyed horror as I chased my daughter into the house with a hose. Water fights are a big deal for us. Last Easter all 5 of my grandkids jumped me with pump water guns and buckets. It was great - the next generation.

Hey, Spook, great to see you!

 

[Spookwriter]

I would NEVER dream of having a full-blown water
fight inside the house...mainly because Momma Spook
is mean to me when she gets riled.

(And I don't like mean people...)

You gotta do things that appear as an "accident"...

Now Sour...tell me you never "slipped" the bed slats
under her side of the bed so it hits the floor with a thud?

...or propped one leg of her recliner up so the thing
rocked from side to side?

Accidents happen...

 

[sourland]

Bedslats?

 

[Bunnylady]

Sour, I don't think anyone has actually dragged a hose in the house, but stand in the doorway with one at ready? Oh, yes. We have a couple of hose nozzles that will shoot at least 50 feet - how do you suppose I know that? And anybody who goes in the back yard when anybody else is in the pool - well, they know what they'll get.

But Spook, trust me, it ain't the Winter. It's gotten so he even tells the kids, "You don't let me have any fun!"
