My time sense is truly off - I still haven't adjusted to the time change. I guess I'm still running on the old time because I thought it was 8 o’clock. Ecch. Remind me to have the boys wash their hands before playing "Blues Clues ABC Time" on it. There was stickiness on the touchpad.
I had gone to the bathroom last night, and heard squeals and giggling, and the words "Bob" and "ketchup". When I came out Gareth was quite proud of himself and pointed to poor long-suffering Bob, who had a big blob of ketchup in his back fur. I took him in the kitchen and cleaned him off with a wet paper towel, while scolding them. "How would you like it if I put ketchup in your hair? Would you like that?" Of course they wouldn't. Poor Bob, sometimes he lets them know they're getting out of hand, and others he just lets them do it. I don't know why he didn't try to get away from them. I think sometimes he just feels stubborn - as in "Dammit, I was here on this chair first, and nothing you do to me is going to make me move!"
One of the things you never imagine yourself saying as a parent. "Don't put ketchup on the cat!"
John just reminded me of another - "Take that pumpkin out of your pants!"
