“Every day is Caturday.”
-Unknown
Light the charcoal. Sprinkle the sage. Negative energy go away. Today, I want to tell you about what the girls have decided that their new year’s resolutions will be.
Copeland asked me one day, “Momma what are Coco, Tink and Piper’s new year’s revolutions?” Not really paying attention I asked, “What did you say?” He repeated, “What are Tink, Coco, and Piper’s New Year’s “Revolutions?” I start giggling. He said, “Why are you laughing?” I told him, “Baby boy, that’s New Year’s Resolutions not Revolutions.” To which he replied, “Can you please find out?” So, this story is my quest for answers.
Me: “Girls! Come here, please!”
Piper: “Coming momma!”
Coco: “Me too!”
Tink: “Me three!”
The sound of the jingling of the bell on their collars is always anticipated
Me: “Thank you, girls. So, brother Copeland wants me to ask you a question. He wants to know what your New Year’s “Revolutions” are?
Piper: “What’s that?”
Coco: “Momma, my revolutions are around the snack cart only?”
Tink: “You’re a dork. Momma, could you explain to me what that is?”
Me: “Well, it’s what you want to challenge yourself to do for the New Year.”
Coco: “That’s easy. I want to seize control over the world’s supply of catnip.”
Tink: “I want to learn how to fly and be a bird.”
Coco: “Omg! Was that a serious answer?”
Tink: “Hush it grumpy.”
Me: “Ok, Piper it’s your turn. Piper get still and be serious!”
Piper: “But momma, I’m just playing with the leftover bows and wrapping paper.”
Me: “You can do that in a minute. Your little brother wanted me to ask you about what you want to change for the new year. It’s called a New Year’s Resolution.”
Piper: “I want to enter an American Ninja Warrior competition.”
Me: “Piper, you’re too young.”
Piper: “Ummmm, ok. Well, how about taking more selfies?”
Me: “Let’s just say that maybe working on manners. And why do you want to take more selfies?”
Piper: “Because people think I’m cute!”
Me: “Fair enough little girl. Coco, do you have another resolution?”
Coco: “More catnip.”
Me: “Really? Like you couldn’t come up with another one?”
Coco: “I just do not want to be bothered and have my own personal supply of cookies, catnip, and lizards. You know I’m pretty much a professional at catching lizards.”
Me: “Yes. But only if you’re the only one in the room.”
Piper: “Yea, Coco. You need to share your lizards.”
Tink: “Momma, what are your New Year’s Resolutions?”
Me: “Probably, just authoring more stories about you all. I would also like to spend more time with your brothers. And I have a big surprise for this year.”
Coco, Tink and Piper: “Oh we like surprises. What is it?”
Me: “Well, it’s a surprise.”
Coco: “Momma, you can’t tell us that you have a surprise and then not tell us. It’s against the rules.”
Me: “Rules of what?”
Coco: “Well, I do live in the United States of Coco. And in the cat bible of instructions it’s specifically states, “You are not allowed to speak of surprises and not instantly tell us what it is. And that is found in 1 Coco 24:7.”
Me: “Big problem. I’m not a cat.”
Coco: “That’s right. I feel sorry for you. Because cats are the highest beings on earth.”
Me: “Have you ever seen me on 420? Because I would put that statement to the test. Ok. Does anyone have something else they need to say in this family meeting?”
Tink: “Well, momma, I would like to bite the big orange turd in the White House directly in his swollen cankles.”
Me: “I think most people in our country could agree on that. For right now though, let’s just work on becoming an even happier family.”
Piper: “But what about my brothers?”
Me: “Baby, your brothers will always be a part of our family.”
Affirmation: There is no one else in the world I would rather be.
