It’s the Labor Day holiday here in the states and while Mom’s at work (her regular schedule) and Dad’s at home (his regular schedule), here’s a bit of what Dad has to deal with.

Tessa, what are you looking at?

A bug. You should put it outside. Sooner rather than later.

:: sigh :: Is it an ant? Mom will be very unhappy.

Hmm, could be. It’s been here for a while, Dad. I think you even have a name for it, it’s been here for that long. It needs to be outside.

I am not a bug. Dad, I think we’re both listening to something that needs to go outside and it ain’t me.

All right you two. Let’s just get through the day and get along.

9/4/2026 – Finally Friday

Quint looks comfortable © Colehauscats.com

This Finally Friday finds Mom extra glad it’s Friday because after a few tough weeks of pinching pennies, it’s payday. Does that mean we rich? Not anyone around here that we know of, but we might afford a fast food dinner which always includes a couple of cats who have taken up begging for a French fry or two.

Quint, do you want a French fry with dinner tonight?

Naw, I’m good.

(Just watch and wait – he ALWAYS politely asks for a French fry.)

Viola, you want a French fry with your dinner?

No Fries! I’m always watching my girlish figure!

. . . and she does a great job of that. Viola NEVER begs for people food.

Tessa, do you want a French fry to go with dinner?

Hmm, no, but if you’re buying I’ll take a burger with extra cheese and hold all those veggie things. Make it two and I’ll love you for life.

Well . . . no. But thanks for voicing your preference!

And there you have it. Everyone “claims” they don’t want a French fry with their dinners yet we know if we brought any home, at least 2 would change their minds, guaranteed. How about we just enjoy the thought that today was payday and save those pinched pennies for another day.
