This is the most frivolous thing I've ever written. Thanks for this writing prompt. It's good to locate the goofball within. 

Chubs is gravely flat. We remove our hats. Her wheel deflated him— Chubs, my cuddly cat. Flounder is lying flat, ambling on his back. Her croutons choked him— Flounder, my friendly catfish. Gopher is resting back-flat, striking position for naps. Her diabolical chocolate gateau snuffed him out almost. Gopher rose once again, my mangy mutt, back-to-life. Ma decried; she'd die in a reindeer stampede

Trina, Wonderful and comical in a forgiving 'laughter's the best medicine' way. But you still have to love them anyways (moms). -Richard
