Cats or Children?

I think I'm better with cats than with children. When I come home, Cujo meets me at the door, meowing loudly and continually. I have learned that this is his "I'm hungry" cry. So I fill his dish and take it to his area, saying, "Look Cujo, it's yummy yummy Cujo food for Cujo!" I like to say his name a lot, because I think somehow he will learn it and eventually come when I call him, fetch sticks, and guard the house against burglars.

My friend has a 2 year old child. To him I say, "So, have you considered colleges? What do you think you'd like to do?" And sometimes, "Geez, kid, get a job!" And, "Do you realize it is rather annoying when you run around and around the house like that slapping everyone?"

I pick Cujo up and stroke him, saying, "Good Cujo. What a good kitten you are, my little special kitty cat." Cat hair and dander flies everywhere. There are times when I seem to be wearing a cat hair suit.

I shake hands with my friend's child, then wash my hands, because we all know kids are germ magnets.

It's probably a good thing I forgot to have children.

The art is from an old 1980's T-shirt that I've always loved, based on a Roy Lichtenstein painting.

OK so say you are in a bar, pub, or a restaurant where you are bound to use the restroom more than once.

I tend to go to the same stall over and over again. Do you?

If there is an odor there after my first or second or whatever visit there, I freak out a little, but I don't go to a new one. Do you?

If I flush and the toilet paper doesn't go all the way down, I tend to leave it in the hopes that some one else will see it and be repulsed, and therefore less likely to use "my" stall. Do you?
Just wondering.

The art is Jean Helion's Upside Down, 1947.
