She was screaming again. Not a good a sign, on the whole.
'A cat ? A CAT ?! Are you bonkers ?'
I couldn't see what was wrong with a cat. They purr when they're happy. And are besides a powerful symbol of magic.
'Well what then ?'
'Duh ! The only other possible solution : a dog !'
A dog ?! But you have to walk dogs and … clean up after them. Although I guess with a baby you have to too.
'A dog ? … Have you thought this out rationally ? Sweetums ?'
Lily had stormed over to the kitchen and had started making coffee with un-necessary violence. In my opinion. In fact, I swear she cracked that blue mug. Not me.
'Yes ! A dog loves someone ! And licks. And licks up crumbs.'
Aha ! Mystery solved : Lily's hate for vacuuming was at the root of this folly.
'I think a cat might lick up too… Cupcake ?'
Lily was now prancing around the room. What was up with her ?!
'Er … Lily ? Mphmmmp.' That was her kissing me. Yup, I'm a good kisser ! I think …
What was up with this woman ? Now dearest lovely Lily was practically in tears, looking at the picture of Frank and Alice on the wall.
'So … A dog it is ?'
'Are you CRAZY ?? We're getting a CAT ! And that is FINAL !'
She flounced upstairs and flopped down on the creaky bed.
Damn these mood swings.
A/N : I was bored. Thanks for reading. Please review !
