MK: Momma Kat
EM: Ellie Mae
The Boy: Hi.
BC: {sigh}.
The Boy: Good morning.
BC: {sigh}.
The Boy: It's awfully early, isn't it?
{Silence}
The Boy: How's my Buddy Bear?
BC: Phht.
The Boy: Can I pet you?
BC: No.
The Boy: {reaching down} I bet if I ...
{CHOMP}
The Boy: OWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!! Son of a ...
BC: So you've met my little friends?
{Bear and The Boy stare at each other}
The Boy: Hey.
BC: Hey.
The Boy: {grunt}.
BC: How's the weather?
The Boy: I don't know, I haven't been outside yet.
BC: Oh. How about that nineteen million dollar premium?
The Boy: You should stick to your day job and let me do my job.
BC: My day job? You mean annoying you?
The Boy: I KNEW you do that on purpose! HONEY! He FINALLY admitted ...
BC: Calm down, grasshopper. It's too early in the morning to get excited by anything other than tuna.
The Boy: Not even a tasty whole chicken farm?
BC: Good point. Did you finally buy me one?
The Boy: So what's on your agenda today? Sleep ... eat ... destroy something ... sleep ... eat ... annoy me ... poop ...
BC: Don't be ridiculous. I spend WAY more time destroying things and annoying people.
The Boy: And yet your Momma still fawns all over you.
BC: Maybe you should take a lesson.
The Boy: Ow. That hurt.
BC: WHAT?!? I didn't even bite you again yet!
The Boy: NO! I meant your insul ...
BC: I didn't insult you. I was only speaking the truth. If I were insulting you, I'd talk about you being shark bait. Let's play a game!
The Boy: {looking around} You want to play a game ... with ME?!?
BC: Don't worry. I'll win.
The Boy: We'll see about that. I'm smarter than you.
BC: Phht. Okay. So we count off ... I start with, "I ONE the litter box." Now you two.
The Boy: I don't get the {seeing Bear staring at him with no amusement in his eyes} ... I TWO the litter box.
BC: I THREE the litter box.
The Boy: I FOUR the litter box.
BC: I FIVE the litter box.
The Boy: Where is this going?
BC: Just PLAY ALONG! Sheesh! Is that so hard? I mean you can't count to ten without your brain spontaneously combusting?
The Boy: {sigh} I SIX the litter box.
BC: I SEVEN the litter box.
The Boy: I EIGHT the litter box.
BC: Hahahahahahahahahahaha. You ATE the litter box? Ewwww.
The Boy: You know, you should be happy to have another male around here.
BC: I don't care about mail, dumbnuts! Unless there's a letter announcing that I won a tasty whole chicken farm.
The Boy: No! I meant male, M-A-L-E.
BC: But you don't have balls. Males have to have balls.
The Boy: Excuse me?
BC: Where are your balls?
The Boy: You don't have balls!
BC: Yes, I do!
The Boy: No, you don't!
BC: If I show you my balls, you have to show me yours.
The Boy: Ummm ...
BC: You first.
The Boy: First, I argue with a cat ... and then this ... SEE?!?!
BC: They're HAIRY! Those aren't ...
MK: {walking into the room with Ellie in her arms} There's your ... {Momma sees what's going on in the middle of the family room}.
The Boy: Uh oh.
MK: I don't want to know!
The Boy: It's not what it looks like!
MK: You're not showing Bear ...
The Boy: Okay. It is what it looks like. But wait ...
MK: I don't want to know.
BC: Hahahahahaha.
The Boy: You did that on purpose!
BC: Hahahahahaha.
EM: Boys are gross.
MK: You can say that again.
EM: Last night, Bear showed me his balls.
BC: I TOLD YOU!
The Boy: He doesn't have any balls!
EM: Yeah, he does! He let me play with them.
MK: WHAT?!?!? BEAR CAT KAT!

MK: WHAT?!?!? BEAR CAT KAT!
BC: Uh oh.
EM: I like playing with balls!
BC: It's not MY fault she's an expert ball-handler!
MK: That's it. It's too early in the morning for this nonsense.
The Boy: He said I don't have balls! If I showed him mine, he said he'd show me his!
MK: And you think that explanation makes it any better?
The Boy: No. I suppose not.
MK: If Bear jumped off a bridge ...
BC: OOH! Are there TASTY WHOLE CHICKENS where I'm jumping? Like a bridge over a tasty whole chicken farm?
MK: {to The Boy} SEE! THIS is who you're competing against.
The Boy: No. I guess that's not to my credit.
BC: If you refuse to jump off the bridge ... more tasty whole chickens for me!!! You can stay on the bridge and lick your balls. Though those hairy things aren't MY kind of balls.
EM: Bear, you don't even PLAY with your type of balls!
MK: That's it. You all deserve each other.
{Momma shuts herself in the bathroom}
EM: WAIT! What are you doing in there?!?! Let me in! I have to wat ...
BC: Are there tasty whole chickens in there?!?! Let me in!
The Boy: HONEY! I have to use the bathroom before I start work!
EM: I have to watch!
BC: TASTY WHOLE CHICKENS!
The Boy: I have to go!!!!
EM: Hey! I want to watch!
BC: I want my chickens!
The Boy: HEY!!!!

BC: In the bathroom?!
MK: Go away!
BC: Sheesh! What's HER problem?!?!
EM: Momma!!!
The Boy: HONEY!
BC: CHICKENS!!!!
MK: I'm not home.
BC: RATS!
{Pause}
BC: What?!?! Why are you two looking at me?!?! MOMMA! The Boy and Ellie are looking at me funny!
The Boy: {trying not to laugh} She's not home, remember?
BC: Who asked you?!?! YOU started this!
The Boy: NO! YOU started it!
BC: You talked to me first! I TRIED to ignore you!
The Boy: You brought up balls!
EM: SHUT UP!
BC: You shut up!
EM: Hey! You're touching me!
BC: You're touching ME!
EM: You touched me!
BC: You touched me first!
EM: I did not!
BC: Yes, you did! You touched me last night before Momma put you in your room!
EM: You should be happy she does that! You need protection.
BC: From YOU?!?!
EM: ARRRRRRRRRRRG!!!
BC: HEY! Quit it!

The Boy: Knock it off!

Wow!
ReplyDelete:)
DeleteBoys are gross... which is why we only have ONE brother and thankfully, he keeps to himself most of the time. We'll have to remember that joke for later, though. You never know when we might need it!
ReplyDeleteQuint's a cutie! And a talented artist! Momma's jealous of all your ginger girls!

ReplyDeleteXOXO, Rosie
Secret?!?! Momma actually learned that from Sesame Street 35 years ago ... only it was a sandbox!
DeleteMOL ! Oh Bear, we can't believe the Boy did it ! Purrs
ReplyDeleteMe neither!!! He's gullible! ~Bear Cat
DeleteToo funny. You are all a bunch of comedians. Very funny. Sure makes the Mom laugh. Have a good evening.
ReplyDeleteWe're glad ... we did our job :)
DeleteEllie Mae, you didn't *see* anything you shouldn't, did you? I fear those nasty boys are going to corrupt you! --Mudpie
ReplyDeleteI'm still a "good" girl ;) [mostly] ~Ellie Mae
DeleteMOL, Bear! You got the boy to say he ate the litter box! I do have to agree that boys are gross, at least my brother Pierrot is. Not you!
ReplyDeleteThank you! Coming from a beautiful ladycat, that means a lot! ~Bear Cat
DeleteEWW! ~Ellie Mae
AMARULA: Bear you are so so smart--making the Boy say he ate the litter box!! Ha ha -- you are the only smart boy i know!!
ReplyDeleteErr ... thank you?!? I mean, Frodo DOES use a houseplant to do his business ... ~Bear Cat
DeleteI think Ellie Mae has found her place...and is not going to give it up. It's okay, Bear. It takes nothing away from you. xo
ReplyDeleteYou better believe it! It's ALL MINE! ~Bear Cat
DeleteMOL! You have a funny household - hairy balls, tasty chickens and all! Dad says I don't have "any balls", 'cause I'm "fixed." But I see them rolling around the floor & some have bells in them. I play with them sometimes, too. I don't know what he's talking about. There is a fuzzy ball hanging from the garage to help Mom park the car.
ReplyDeleteMomma got those kitty-sized tennis balls for me ten years ago and I've touched them exactly ZERO times. Luckily, Ellie loves them. Actually, since she does, I might try them just in case! ~Bear Cat
DeleteI knew you had more balls than The Boy. Just kidding :)
ReplyDeleteI do! I TOTALLY do! ~Bear Cat
DeleteMOL MOL MOL at Ellen's comment above!!!! xoxoxo catchatwithcarenandcody

ReplyDeleteHahahahaha. ~Bear Cat
DeleteYour house is definitely more exciting than ours!
ReplyDeleteWe don't believe that at all!
