 a couple of true stories combined into one

Early morning, I'm sipping a warm cup of vacation. She suddenly explodes from the shadows. Sprinting across the living room floor. Hopelessly late for work and spectacularly naked. Mumbling something about a lost bra and car keys. Cursing as she steps into a dollop of unknown. The orange tabby twitched an ear. While the chubby gray one giggled. The littlest was nowhere to be found. and nobody was confessing. Soon enough, the keys were re-discovered. Her super moon was thankfully covered. She scrambled out the snickering door. Sadly, for me, the comedy was over. I went back to my cup of vacation, ignoring the cat barf on the floor.

This could be my house except one is black and one is gray. How I laughed! Don't worry, the barf will wait for your vacation to be over and the harder, the better. You are most clever, Mr. Slausen and I sure needed the laugh. One hasn't completely lived until they unknowingly step in cat throw up. Thank you for a good time ... CayCay
