"MOM!"

Yes? How are you little kitty foof?

Mom! Where have you been? You left me all alone here and I was so lonely and you were gone and I was lonely and you weren't here and

Well, if you slow down a minute and let me talk I can expl...

And you weren't here and you were gone! Where did you go? I was so lonely! Don't do that again!

I had to take cb to ballet, just like I always do, then we went out for Chinese food, just like we always do. And now I'm back.

Well, I didn't like it. Don't do that again. Is it time to eat?

No, foof, it's only 8:00. I'm going to go upstairs and watch this Nutcracker dvd. Wanna come up, too?

Maybe. (merp-up-noise)

Let me get settled. Hmmmmm... shall I be on your lap? or here on the table? or, maybe... here in my box. Yes, that's just right. Hey! What's all that noise coming from the computer? It's not supposed to make that noise!

It's just the Nutcracker ballet. See, cb's in it. Isn't she beautiful?

I don't like the noise. I'm going to try to take a nap.

(sounds of nutcracker stuff... then the Arabian dancers come out and the music makes tinging noises, like the sound of finger cymbals or something)

Hey! What's that noise?!?! That sounds like the doorbell!

No, foof, it's just the dvd.

Hmmmph. Well, I don't like it. Aren't you done yet?

Yes, I'm done.

Good. Now is it time to eat?

Almost.
