Normal!
by carolynholm
Dear Mom,
Winston and I were wondering what’s going on with the Best title.
XOXO Poppy
Dear Poppy,
The what title?
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mom,
The Best Cat Ever title.
XOXO Poppy
Dear Poppy,
Oh good grief, we’re not rehashing that one again, are we?
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mom,
Charlie has been going around saying he’s the Best Cat Ever.
XOXO Poppy
Dear Poppy,
Oh he is, for sure.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mom,
Winston and I told him he can’t be the Best Cat Ever because Winston has held the title since Mia passed.
XOXO Poppy
Dear Poppy,
Wait, I didn’t ever say that about Puffin?
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mom,
Puffin always claimed that you said he was the Best, but Mia told him we didn’t believe him.
XOXO Poppy
Dear Poppy,
Mia was probably just trying to give Puffin a hard time.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mom,
He had it coming. But it’s confusing, because you say that about every cat. How can EVERY cat be the Best Cat Ever?
XOXO Poppy
Dear Poppy,
Not every cat. Just the cats in our family. Who have all been awesome. Mia was definitely the Best Cat Ever. But so was Puffin. And so is Winston. And Charlie and Elsa.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mom,
Now that I think about it, and don’t tell him I said this, but Winston is off the rails crazy. I don’t know if he really qualifies. And Elsa is so shy she spends all her time under the bed. So that leaves Charlie.
XOXO Poppy
Dear Poppy,
Leaves Charlie…for what?
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mom,
Charlie is normal. Wonderfully normal. Maybe he’s the Most Normal Cat Ever.
XOXO Poppy
Dear Poppy,
That’s high praise from a dog.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mom,
I’m still the Best Dog Ever, right?
XOXO Poppy
Dear Poppy,
No worries. That title is yours forever.
Love, Carolyn
