TM - 272 - Do you have any pets?
Well, I have a daughter, so yes. In the last sixteen years, we’ve had goldfish, sea monkeys, hamsters, guinea pigs, and for awhile when she was six, she hid a pet caterpillar from us. Said caterpillar blew its cover and revealed itself one morning in the medicine cabinet and met its fate when Nash threw it out the window. Cassidy cried for an hour, then found herself a kitten in the window of a pet shop downtown. Kids are pretty resilient that way. Then again, sometimes Cass is just as much a pet as she is a kid. Her dad doesn’t call her “brat” for nothing.
Speaking of Cassidy’s dad, there’s yet another pet. My jerk of an ex-husband, always hanging around, relying on me for meals and the occasional advising session. God knows why he comes to me for advice, what the hell do I know about drug dealers and prostitutes? Jeez.
And there’s there’s Nash’s dad, my former father-in-law, who doesn’t quite grasp the concept of “divorce.” Nick is just a sweet old man with Alzheimer’s - a total rascal like his son, but a good guy. I guess they both are. But it’s tough to realize it when you feel like you’re always bailing them out of trouble.
Thank god Cassidy’s grown out of the whole pet phase. I’ve got enough on my plate.
