Mummy is hurt!
It’s like this…
I am Man Of The House, and as such Mummy leaves me in charge
when she is gone, even if it is just outside for a few minutes.
As Man Of The House, it is my solemn duty, once I have made
my rounds and ensure all kits are behaving themselves adequately, to inspect
all cabinets in the house.
It is a tedious job but someone has to do it.
Anyways, it was getting dark when I finished the last kitchen
cabinet. There were a few trays stacked
neatly in this one as well as an interesting sack full of what nots that I was
sure Mummy had forgotten about – she needed to be reminded of their existence,
in case there was something she no longer wants or needs that kits may find
enjoyable to play with. *cough*
As I was perusing the scattered contents of the now tipped
over sack, Mummy came blasting in from her evening Outdoor Chores (mysterious
doings we kits are hard pressed to explain, particularly in 105 degree
weather), and as she was headed straight for the darkening kitchen, and - as
previously mentioned – I was just about done with my job for the night, I
biffed off to inspect something – anything – else….
A bang.
A shout.
A “Who the blazes...?”…
It occurred to me that I may have, in my haste to disappear,
er, finish up in other areas of the house, failed to close the doors in the
kitchen and that Mummy, poor thing, unable to see so vividly in the dark as we
kits (not everyone can be endowed with such unique skill) ran smack into it. I
peeked around the corner to find Mummy hobbling about and muttering to herself.
I admit to finding it a smitch humorous that she is so clumsy.....
Funny, I would
swear I heard my name mentioned but can’t think why.
Seeing as Mummy is not feeling too grand, and further seeing
that she is beginning to make a sinister connection between her bump in the
dark and my daily duties, I feel it best to allow her time to settle down.
Later on I will, perhaps, check in on her. For now, I will endeavor to continue
my duties upstairs.
Did I mention I hadn’t even gotten to the cabinets in Dad’s
study yet?
