lions and lambs


In like a lion and out like a lamb.


Well that's what's SUPPOSED to happen but let me tell you somethin', my friends, I'm pretty sure that ol' lion must have eaten the lamb.


MOUSES!


So here we are at the end of March and do you know what happened to me yesterday?  DO you?


It snowed.


Not a lot of snow, mind you, but still, it was snow.  I had to walk through the white stuff and everythin'.


MOUSES!


And do you know what happened to me the day before that?  What happened on Monday?  DO you?


It hailed!


MOUSES!


I, Seville the Cat, had never even seen hail before.  Well I don't think I had, anyway.  Maybe somethin' kinda resemblin' hail, but not actual hail.  More like uh....  Um...  Shaved ice, I do believe.  But Monday?


Well on Monday it was rainin' peas, I tell you.  Rainin' peas!  Only they weren't green like peas usually are, but white.  Also, they weren't actual peas.  They were pea-sized chunks of ice.


MOUSES!


And it was weirder than that, my friends.  Weirder that that!  Yes, weirder than packages of frozen white peas that weren't actually peas bein' pelted at me.  To tell you the truth, it was weirder than weird.  It was...


Well...


Spooky, to say the least.


MOUSES!


You see, only moments earlier, the temperature was mild and the sun was breakin' through the clouds.  In fact, at one point I looked up at the blue sky and sunshine and thought it was gonna be a lovely, beautiful day.  'Cept for those dark ominous clouds off in the not-too-distant distance, of course.


But that's when it got weird.  One moment the sun was shinin', then it got all dark, then the wind whipped up, and then...


THEN THE FROZEN PEAS BEGAN THEIR ATTACK.


On me.


MOUSES!


But all that aside...


What worries me most...


What worries me most is that Friday is April Fools' Day and if Mother Nature was hurlin' frozen peas that aren't peas at me on Monday, WHAT THE MOUSES IS SHE GONNA DO ON THE FIRST?


Too scary to even think about, I think.  Too scary to think about, for sure.


But now that I AM thinkin', I have a question to ask:  Is it April Fools' Day or April Fool's?


Hmmm...


Guess it all depends on the number of fools.


MOUSES!

wanna hear a secret?

Pssst...  Wanna hear a secret?

Oh hey there, Peepers.

What?

NO, I'm not airing out our dirty laundry here on my blog.  You have a clothes line to do that.  MOUSES!

So anyway...  Wanna hear a secret?

What's that, Peepers?

Actually, to tell you the truth, I wouldn't even bother at this point.

No seriously, I wouldn't.  You've let it go this long, why do anything about it now?

BECAUSE if you wait a little bit longer...

Yeah, yeah...

Peeps and their peep-like problems.

MOUSES!

So like I was sayin'...  Wanna hear a secret?

Seriously Peepers, I wouldn't bother, but if you're gonna bother, know this:  You're gonna be botherin' all on your own.

MOUSES!

Because I'm busy.  Way too busy to help.  That's why.

MOUSES!

Stuff.  I'm doin' STUFF.

Of for the love of mouses, Peepers.  I, Seville the Cat, HAVE PLENTY OF STUFF to be doin'.  Right now, for example, I'm workin' on my blog post for today.  Later on, I'll be workin' on my book.

You know, my book.

THE ONE I'M WRITING.

MOUSES!

And FYI, in the book I'm writing, I, Seville the Cat, am the hero, while you're...

Well...

You're uh...

Comic relief.

MOUSES!

But back to what I was askin' before.  Wanna hear a secret?

Peepers, just go into the livin' room and do what you're thinking about doing, even though I, personally, wouldn't bother doin' it now.  But since you've got your heart set on doin' what you're thinking of doin', just go ahead and do it.

Even if it is March.  Even if we are into the third month of the year.

BUT DON'T DO IT JUST YET!

Give me a minute, okay?

Because.

'Cause uh...

Well...

Well 'cause after you do what you're planning on doin', I'll no longer have a secret to tell.

'CAUSE WHAT YOU HAVE NEGLECTED TO DO FOR THE PAST TWO MONTHS IS MY SECRET.

Boy oh boy, I'm tellin' ya.

Peeps and their peep-like problems.

PEEPS.

Okay, so now that she's gone, but before she undos what she hasn't undone even though it really did kinda need to be done earlier this year, I'LL TELL YOU MY SECRET.

Are you ready?

Are you sitting down?

Brace yourselves, my pals....

If you can believe it...

Our Christmas tree is still up.

MOUSES!
