Saturday Mom Confession #7

Meet White Kitty. 

White Kitty was Anemone's favorite toy when she was about four years old.  White Kitty was a big part of our lives that year; we fished her out of creeks, dug her out of flowerbeds, and organized massive kitty-hunts when she went missing.  Anemone brought White Kitty along wherever she went, and loved her unconditionally. 

Or so we thought.

Somehow (I don't remember exactly how, but I'm betting it involved JellyMan), White Kitty lost her tail.  I broke three sewing machine needles on the stupid thing before I said, "Anemone, I'll sew it on by hand, but not today.  I'll work on it tomorrow.  You can still play with her without her tail."

Anemone wasn't interested in a kitty without a tail.  She wanted a whole kitty or no kitty.

Well, I'm sure you can imagine where the confession comes in - since Anemone wasn't making a fuss about being kitty-less, tomorrow turned into yesterday and yesterday turned into last week, and last week turned into last month.  And in this time, White Kitty's tail disappeared.

And here's another confession - during our last PCS move (three years ago!) I found White Kitty's tail.  But I didn't tell Anemone.  I just put White Kitty and her tail in the mending basket and promptly forgot all about it, just like I do with everything else I put in the mending basket.

Recently, Anemone found White Kitty and her tail.  She brought White Kitty to me and said, "Mom, look!  We DO have White Kitty's tail!  It's right here!"

I said, "Anemone, I'll fix her tail, but not today.  I'll work on it tomorrow."

And tomorrow has become yesterday, and yesterday has become last week, and last week has become last month. 

Guess what I'm doing this morning?

Hey..the unwritten rule was they are supposed to *forget* about it eventually! :p

[Applie]

Well, I hope you are sewing that tail on! Or you could make Jellyman do it, since we all know he pulled it off.

[MichielleRose]

Great mom you are to finally sew on that tail. Did you finish it?

[Melanie]

Yes, I did. But I found a bunch of other things in the mending basket that I have no intention of fixing anytime soon. LOL
