Pretty Viola. So pretty. So independent. She sleeps on the kitchen island in her own cardboard box and greets us each morning regardless of the hour. She listens to the conversation and politely keeps her opinions to herself. She also doesn’t try to steal breakfast oatmeal or dip her paw in the breakfast tea. We know someone else who would do that if given half a chance.

You don’t have to say “someone else, Mom.” I know you’re talking about me.
Hey, if the mitten fits . . .

Mom re-laid all those bricks that had to be removed when we had the birdfeeder post replaced with something more substantial. She was happy with the results until she noticed the bricks in the far back that hadn’t been removed are lower than the others. You know what that means. Either she’ll rip it all apart to redo, or just maybe, she’ll put it on the to-do list for next year. We vote for next year!

So many times you have a polite child and then one who is, well, a bit harder to teach.
Maybe just let the new bricks settle in and get to the same height as the old? They probably will, given enough time.
Tessa, we cannot keep Da Boyz out of our oatmeal bowls EVERY SINGLE MORNING.

You are a good girl, Viola. How did I guess it would be Tessa who would try and pinch a bit of breakfast! The re-laid bricks look good to me.
What a good girl you are, Viola! And hey, you do you, Tessa. Nothing wrong with that!
Nice job on the bricks, Mom Cole. We vote for next year, too.
Breakfast foods can be pretty yummy!
