Have To Stay in Shape

I have to stay in shape for mom and dad.  My mission, which I chose to accept, was to keep my parents on their toes.  I think I do a pretty good job at it.

There’s always the ‘steal and run’ method I do with dad.  During the day, we watch television together.  Sometimes he falls asleep.  When he does, I take off with the remote. Snort – I usually will hide it in my room near my bed or in my bed.  You ask me why?  Why not?  Snort – snort.  I like to keep dad on his toes.  And, well I like to be in charge of the remote too.  When he wakes up and can’t find it, he automatically calls my name.  I just laugh and laugh.  Especially when he goes on the hunt mission to try and find it.

Then I like to play the now you see me now you don’t game at night.  Mom tries to keep me on a schedule with my bed time.  Sometimes she does a fabulous job.  But then there are the other times when I like to give her a run for her money.  My internal clock knows when it is bed time.  And well you know, I can’t put myself to bed.  I have to have mom and dad go with me to tuck me in my blankets.  There are days though when I just don’t wanna.  We’ve all been there have we not?  I duck.  I swerve.  I hide.  I’m stubborn.  Some people call me pig headed.  Like last night for instance.  Mom took me to bed.  I just kept roaming around the room checking out all of the tiles on the floor and the paint on the walls.  Mom kept telling me to do my business and get in bed.  I heard her.  I just chose to ignore her.  I finally got in bed but by that time mom was not in a read me a book mood anymore.  Darn it.  And, I didn’t get to watch any television as I fell off to sleep.  So there is a price to pay for being bad.  Darn my sense of humor.  LOL
