A typical...
Nov. 29th, 2007 09:44 am...example of doings around the house. These conversations happen on a regular basis around here.
(I'm sitting at the kitchen table catching up on email.)
Minko: MAOOOOOOR! (He's standing at the back door looking at me significantly.)
Me: You wanna go out?
Minko: Mrrrr-rowr.
Me: Ok, well, come on then. You gotta go out the front door. I don't wanna rile up the dogs.
Minko: Mrrrp.
(I go the front door, closely followed by Minko. Penny is also looking interested. Bobbi is sitting on the front window sill, looking more concerned as Minko approaches. He doesn't even notice her. I open the front door, letting cold air in.)
Me: Ok, Minko, there you go.
(Minko goes out. Penny is standing at the end of the hallway, looking interested but she's obviously waiting for an engraved personal invitation.)
Me: Penny, would you like to go out, too?
(Penny trots forward, with remnants of last night's gravy still on the bridge of her hose but she got indignant when I tried to wipe it off after supper. She slows down and gingerly steps outside the door. Minko skips forward 'cause OMG there's another cat at the door before he remembers that he's a big tough male cat and not afraid of anything. He covers the lapse in coolness by jumping up onto the trellis wall.)
Me: Tail too...
(Penny pulls her tail out the door and turns to look at me as I shut it.)
Me: You sure you want out?
(Penny blinks at me and moves back toward the door. I re-open the door letting in more cold air. Penny sits down.)
Me: Well, make up your mind, silly girl! (Penny blinks at me. I close the door. She flicks her tail which usually means there's something going on of which she does not approve.)
Me: Do you want back in again? (I open the door. Penny sits back down.)
Me: Ok, I'm closing the door and going away now.
I return to the kitchen where Nell is sitting behind my laptop waiting for birds to fly by.
It's just a normal, peaceful morning in the Cannon household. Breakfast done, up to the sewing room to work on fiddle bags.
