Lately, my family has started doing something every day after lunch. I’m not really sure what it is, but it involves shiny black shoes that make a lot more noise than their regular shoes do. They turn on really loud music, and all five of them start banging the floor at the same time. They seem to enjoy it. Whatever floats their boat, I guess. I think I’d make the best tapper, though, if they’d only give me a chance! I have twice as many feet, after all!
If my family lets me, I can be really good for their budget. Want to know how? I encourage them to choose to spend time with me, rather than going out shopping or to dinner. They always feel so bad when they leave me here (as they should.) They can learn from my cues and stop ordering things on Amazon, too. They know I’m protecting them from everyone who comes to the door, whether they’re trying to teach us about their religion or are here to deliver a package. That should help them stop perusing Amazon. I take my family’s finances very seriously.
We live in Florida, which I think I’ve mentioned. One of the parts of Florida I just can’t quite get used to is the daily thunderstorms. I’m not a coward, but when the thunder gets very loud, I start to get a little worried for the safety of my family. So I snuggle as close to Mama as I can (or BFF if he’s not working when the storm hits), protecting them from the big noise. I hope there’s no such thing as an artificial noise like thunder. That would be crazy, and I’m not sure how well I’d handle it.
Mama is a redhead. All three kids have her light complexion. She doesn’t look her best in black, but old habits die hard. I’m doing my part to help her remember not to wear that color. That, and only that, is the reason I allow my fur to shed. I’m so helpful!
