Good Morning!

JPII insisted on Total this a.m. for breakfast instead of Life or Special K. It wouldn't have made a difference. She managed to eat a few bites between whines for this or that and good morning greetings to Dibs, and a few others. Why she got down off her throne, I do not know. The actual climbing back upon her stool I caught out of the corner of my eye. From my point of view, all I could see was her hand reaching up over the counter for support only to find its way into her soggy bowl of cereal, sending it flying through the air across the room splatting onto Nobby who up until that moment was contentedly eating leftover chicken soup from last night. From my point of view the entire event appeared to be an accident. I was grateful I hadn't mopped the floor last night as I might have taken the event personally. Instead I rushed to console JPII that the whole thing was an accident but was taken aback when she suddenly turned on Dibs, unleashing a high degree of anger. Dibs received verbal abuse from JPII in addition to a few hits. This all surprised me as, from my point of view, Dibs didn't appear to be too near the accident scene. However, Dibs and JPII both agree that Dibs' foot might've somehow interfered, either intentionally or unintentionally, with JPII's ascent.

I was grateful to not have actually seen the full truth of the matter as I proceeded to clean soggy cereal from Nobby, the chair, a large area of floor, the stool, the counter, etc... No sooner had I finished this mess when Nobby's soup somehow found its way from the table to Nobby to the floor. Nobby doesn't seem to mind smelling like the kitchen sink, but I do! So we are going upstairs to give her a bath. Tomorrow we will have muffins for breakfast! :-)
