Interlude

Alternatively titled: I would never flush the cat.

The place: our downstairs bathroom, where the flusher valve is a tad sticky on occasion.
The players: Jenni and Toddler Jeneric.
The scene: Jenni has removed the tank cover on the toilet to un-stick the flusher valve. She has just finished scolding Lady Argon (the cat) for picking at the carpet.

Toddler Jeneric enters and screams at the top of her shrill, toddler lungs: "Noooo! Mama! Don't flush Lady Argon!"
Jenni (aka Mama) jumps 36 feet into the air and begins to reassure Toddler Jeneric that she would never flush the cat (it took all her strength not to say because the cat wouldn't fit in the toilet).
Enter Eric, with a cameo. He quickly reunites Toddler Jeneric with her beloved Lady Argon who has taken up residence on the scratching post.

You finish the scene: Is Toddler Jeneric scarred for life? Will she ever trust Mama with the cat again?

She may always remember that Daddy saved Lady A.

Now that is some quality family drama. One wonders just what pets Jenni has been seen flushing in the past, and, moreso, what happens in the next installment.
