Conversations with Mia

A Tongan Singles Branch just moved into our Ward building and there was a girl with the coolest wavy curls with a blond streak in the front.

Mia: Mom, look at her hair!

Mom: Wow! It's so pretty.

Mia: Yeah, like a skunk pretty.

***********

Later while making dinner I tried to talk to Mia about people and how we should always be nice.

Mia: Mom, the Skunk girl was really big.

Mom: She's just made different then us.

Mia: Yeah, people are made different. Some are big and squishy and some are skinny and heartless.

Mom: Did you say "Heartless?"

Mia: Yeah, it's pretty sad.

The Tale of a Tail-less cat

So Marduk, our overly-friendly, tree-climbing, brainless, tall-less cat ran away on Saturday before the snow storm. TO his credit, it was a Lovely day on Saturday and we were all outside, so when he didn't come home, I wasn't too worried.

But when the storm came, I did get worried, it was a really bad storm which snowed a lot. We had 3 days of storms and I figured, stupid cat froze to death while climbing a tree he couldn't get down.

We went to the shelter... not there. We went to the Humane Society... nope!

So I figured.... no more cat... best of luck to you... Murphy was super happy loving me again, but he's so so so stinky...

...well, I got a call tonight from a neighbor, a couple that live on Mock Orange behind me about kiddy-corner. YES! They had Marduk and were loving him to pieces. They had a tail-less cat themselves named buster and were wondering what to call her?

Wait! What? Her? I said his name was Marduk and she told me what a strange name for a girl. This lady's daughter was a vet tech who came and checked out the cat for them and confirmed, SURPRISE IT'S A GIRL!!!

So now I have m kitty back, but I guess I better rename ....um...her? Get those ideas to me, I need them. We'll have a small contest or I will end up naming her Griselda.
