We were over at "the other house" and Isobel wanted to play with the kittens. Unfortunately they did not want to be mauled by a four year old. Suddenly she had a bright idea.
Isobel took a paper cup and filled it with cat chow. Then she began to lay out a trail (like in the tale of Hansel and Gretel -- but instead of using bread crumbs, she scattered hard cat food.)
When she was finished, the kittens continued to ignore her but there was a big mess from the living room to the kitchen.
John saw the cat food mess and said to Isobel, "I am going to have to sell your kite (that she received as a goodie bag treat at a birthday party last weekend) and go and buy a broom!!"
After thinking for a moment, Isobel said, "But Johnny .... You DO have a broom!"
At that he started to laugh and declared her to be one smart cookie! And, as to the mess, we left it for the cats and kittens, to clean up by the digestion method...
