Me: "Dad! Look at me! I'm playing a ukulele! And I spent a hundred-twenty dollars at Walmart. By the way, Isn't that Bentley just the limit?!"
D: "What!?"
D: "Did you say you spent a hundred-twenty dollars at Walmart?"
Me: "No."
D: "So you didn't then."
Me: "No."
(In a defeated voice. He's been here before)
D: "Amanda. Where's the checkbook."
Me: "I ate it. It's in my belly."

That cataract gaze has launched a thousand ships. Bentley of Troy. Or just Bentley of Circle Drive.
Oh yes, I can see that conversation. Bentley was most likely observing and laughing into his little kitty paws.
ReplyDeleteBentley is a feline Methuselah
ReplyDelete$120 at WalMart? That's not in line with the recently-published "50 State Breakdown of Residents' Household Spending," in which West Virginia ranks dead last, with annual household spending of $24,517. Oh well . . . we can count on you to do your part in correcting this gross inequity.
ReplyDeleteWhy does Bentley look like a free floating head? He is still alive, right?
ReplyDeleteI love all the buzz this cat gets! I can't get these many comments in a day if I claimed to have chopped my own head off. Darn cat. I hate when he out-shines me.
ReplyDeleteHe is still alive, and yes, Donald, he is so, so, so old. Even his undercoat is completely grey.
Pawh! I love all the buzz this cat gets. I could not get as much if claimed to have hacked off my own arm. That cat outshines me at every turn.
ReplyDelete@Donald: You would think that Walmart was made for the people in West Virgnia, but I digress.
Ha! It looks like Bentlys head has been mounted!!!! ohh and your funny too....
