Artistic Differences


"What are you doing?" I asked.

"I'm taking pictures of our books for my blog," she said. "I'm going to have a blog, you know."

"What is your blog going to be about?"

"Magical stuff, and things about spies and superheroes and fairies. Oh, and pictures of my toys."

"And pictures of books," I said.

She paused, looking at the image she had just captured with the Disney Princess digital camera Santa had left in her stocking.

"No," she said. "These books are boring."

Then, her eyes twinkled as bright as flashbulbs.

"I know the perfect picture!" She said. "Let's give Mirabelle a bath!"

"We are not bathing the cat," I said.

"Please???"

"Definitely not bathing the cat."

"Okay," she said. "But you're missing out on the best blog picture ever."

(I guess that's why you guys get this one, instead.)

If people could bathe cats there would be no hair balls, just a lot of hysterical cats. Good luck with your blog, Little Bit.

Go ahead and bathe the cat. Should make for a great photo and even better story.

I've bathed a few cats...definitely a good photo op and story op...that is if you can catch the cat...

Whenever I bathed my cats, they always pooped in the tub. So Little Bit's blog entry could have a whiff of Mapplethorpe about it. Love that kid and her creativity! I hope she does create a blog, that would be very cool.

Good call, Laurie; stand firm! What a crack-up - thanks for the laugh.

As I said once before, somehow I thought she already had a blog called "Paws". That could easily include much of her subject matter.

a photos of little bit taking a photo is intriguing...as would a photo of a cat being bathed. probably would cut down on the hairball issues though.
