A Story About Kitty

All kids have things they are attached to. Cameron's main "lovey" is a beanie baby kitten. He's had it since he was very little, and it's extremely mangy. He used to chew on it constantly, and most of the fur came out. The eyes and nose were removed long ago. But this sort of thing is not unusual, and has nothing to do with today's tale.

We were all sitting around the coffee table this afternoon, playing a game. Cameron had Kitty with him. He was tossing him around while he was waiting for his turn and accidentally threw him behind the couch. This led to great despair.

Katy got Kitty out from behind the couch, and decided to try a new approach to convince Cam not to throw him behind the couch any more. "What's that Kitty? You don't like being thrown around? It hurts when Cameron does that?" she said, holding him up to her ear.

This tactic may have worked a little too well. Cameron wailed and burst into tears. Katy immediately started damage control. "What's that Kitty? You feel better now?" I stuffed my hand in my mouth to keep from laughing.
