meow

The actors: myself, childcare provider, Young Teddy, a small cat named Simba.
The scene: Foyer, Providers home.
Opening: Cat sniffing boys bag, pawing Teddys sweatshirt.
me: "Oh so cute. We are getting a cat soon..."
Provider: "Oh so nice. Teddy really loves the cat."
Me: bewildered. "Huh, that's so funny, it's usually James that wants to snuggle...."
*hears sound*
Turns to look at Teddy. Holding Simba UP by her wee head, tiny kitty skull clamped between two hands, dangling wee Simba onto Momma's lap. Twisting Simba into the worst possible kitten abusing WWF move ever.
Me: "Or maybe, you know, later...maybe we'll think about it, um, later"

I apologized to Simba but Teddy didn't seem all that remorseful.
