Mom said only to say nice things about each other so I mean this in the nicest way EVER, but YumYum has freakishly long feet; that's how he can climb and jump in and out of his (AND OTHERS') CAGES!
THIS AFTERNOON, YumYum speaks in his outdoor voice:
"I WANT! I WANT!" he's screaming in glee that his long rabbit-feet and toes might fit into mom's speedskates and he could represent the Guinea Pig Nation at the 2010 Winter Olympics. So, he's begging mom for a chance to try them on!
"You'll just eat the laces," said she, pointing to OtherThings Bitten which destroyed her electric blanket and the strings that makes the blinds go up and down and- well, you get the idea.
"WHEEEEK! WHEEEEEEEEK!" he insists. His voice can get shrill and hysterical if he feels unheard.
"Dear Yummy, you little funny thing, the sun has gone down and I am tired and don't much feel like playing anymore with your long feet or those long teeth (that story we'll save for later, real real later)...so, why not ask me again in the morning, OK?"
"What? What? What did she say? What does that mean?" he is chatting and chutting up a storm. I better go chew my cage bars now and distract him. Bear is playing turtle with the low-lying cardboard boxes in his cage and I'll tell you all about the "Turtle Game" when I introduce Bear, the BeaverPig. Meanwhile, keep your long toes and teeth away from mom's skates, Yummy, because if you eat her laces she might get menopausal and we'll never hear the end of it then!
