It Wasn’t the Talking Gecko

So mom went out Saturday to get the mail from the mailbox.  There she was somewhat still in her pajamas and barefooted.  Us animals know because we were all watching her from the front door.  Me, Houdini, Hemi and Mouse Girl all bundled together with the heat from the sun coming through the storm door looking out for our mom.  You know just in case something happened we would all be there for her.

She made it to the mailbox.  We saw.  We were so proud of her.  Then she started back.  That’s when it happened.  Mom squealed higher than me, jumped higher than the purr things and then ran faster than Houdini to the front door.  We didn’t know what happened.  All we heard was hysterics and heavy breathing.  Daddy went outside with his magnifying glass in one hand and mom’s iPhone camera in the other.  All he could make out from mom was on the house in the corner.

He came back in snorting a bit. He asked mom to look at the gazillion pictures he took to see if he got the guy that made her try out for a triathlon.  Much to mom’s amazement, he did.  Not so bad for a guy with limited vision – he got the cute little guy.  I wonder if he wants to come in and help us out when mom is running late for work?  Snorts with piggy laughter.

 

Things Overheard at the Hotel Thompson

Happy Monday my friends.  I hope you had a fantastic weekend.  We enjoyed Father’s Day and spent quality time here at the Hotel Thompson.  Spending so much time at the house, it got me to thinking.  What are some of the things that you hear around your crib that are hilarious.  I mean YOU know what they mean but if someone overheard it they would do a double take.

For instance last Thursday here at the Hotel Thompson, mom was in the other room working at her laptop.  Dad and us anipals were in the living room.  Houdini was running around the front room chasing Mouse Girl and pretty much hitting on her with kisses and such.  Out of the blue daddy stops what he is doing and says,

“Son, leave the girl alone.  She’s too much pussy for you.”

Now, us anipals didn’t think twice about that statement.  However, mom in the other room starting laughing and snorting so loud that daddy and us had to go check on her.  She just shook her head and said, “Thank goodness I wasn’t on live chat with someone or no one was at the front door.”

So that’s what I’m talking about my friends.  Has something like that happened in your crib that overheard would have been hilarious?
