she's done it again

Peepers, did we not have this discussion before?

Well?

WELL?

WELL, DID WE, PEEPERS?  DID WE?

Nothin' but crickets.

MOUSES!

So she's gone and done it again, folks.  Yup, you heard me correctly, she's...

Now, when I say heard, I actually mean read - you know, on account of this bein' a blog and not some radio show.  But you get the picture, I am sure.

MOUSES!

Yes, you heard me correctly.  The peep has gone and done it again.

Of course.

MOUSES!

I know, I know...  I know what you're thinkin'.  You're thinkin', just WHAT has ol' Peepers done this time?

Well!

Well, she's only gone and promised me somethin', only to be fulfillin' said promise ON THE CHEAP.

AGAIN.

MOUSES!

That's right, my dear friends.  That's right!  Peepers promised to knit me another blankie, on account of my needin' another blankie, on account of autumn approachin', when the weather is cooler, and...

No, I don't actually go under my blankies to keep warm.  I like to lie on top of my blankies 'cause on top of blankies is cushiony soft, and...

Yeah, yeah...  Yeah, I know I mentioned the cooler weather autumn would bring, but that's not the point.  The point is, blankies and cool weather naturally go paw in paw, and..

Scratch that.   ACTUALLY, the point is, the peep has gone and done it again.

MOUSES!

The thing is, the last time Peepers knit me a blankie, instead of pickin' out beautiful, soft yarns in pretty mancat colours, she made me a blankie usin' scraps.  That's right, scraps.  SCRAPS!  Leftovers, I tell you.  Leftovers!  Leftover yarns from various projects for which she had purchased yarn ESPECIALLY to use 'cause she thinks HER projects are so special.

Well!

Well, the last time she knit me a blankie out of many coloured scraps, I was suitably outraged, to be sure.

I even made her PROMISE to never do anythin' so insultin' again.

MOUSES!

And to appease me, she said she'd knit me another one.

Well!

WELL!  

WELL, DO ANY OF YOU KITTIES OUT THERE KNOW WHAT THE WORD APPEASE MEANS?

DO YOU?

Apparently, at the time, I did not.

MOUSES!

So there I was, thinkin' ol' Peepers was plannin' on knittin' me another blankie to make up for her havin' previously made me one out of scraps.  THIS time, knittin' it out of extra-special, beautiful yarn, chosen especially for me.

When in reality...

When in reality...

When in reality, she was actually promisin' to knit me another blankie, AGAIN OUT OF SCRAPS.

I'm tellin' you, if she wasn't my workin' can opener, I'd be givin' her the boot, to be sure.

If I wore boots, that is.

Which I don't.

MOUSES!

So there you have it, my friends.  There you have it!  Ol' Peepers has gone and done it again.

I'm gonna remember this the next time she's beggin' for cuddles.

MOUSES!
