Mom, do you need that? asked the cat.

I was right there, actually using the radio remote. At that moment it was set to mute.

Car-E saw no need for the gadget to be on the table. Off it went.

Nothing stays forever in its place if Car-E is around.

I just found a cherry on the floor. Maybe I had knocked it out of the refrigerator. Or maybe Car-E had plucked it from the scrap food bucket that was heading to the chickens.

It had to be Car-E. He was after the cherry again when I replaced it in the bucket. I guess it had a good wobble role on the floor and Car-E thought it a fun toy.

Oh, that darn cat.

Until next time, that’s it from Sunnybook Farm.
