My mom can't come to the blog right now. She's in the kitchen swearing at the oven and wondering why she isn't bright enough to know how to make a cake from a box. Today is my Aunt Chrissy's birthday and all she asked for was a fudge marble cake with milk chocolate icing. That's all. Just a nice simple cake and a few good wishes from her idiot sister. You would think, from the sounds coming out of the old lady though, that Aunt Chrissy had asked for the moon instead.
So it's up to me to pull this little goat rodeo together and try to salvage what I'm sure will turn out to be a complete culinary disaster. I had suggested that Mo-ther try ordering a fancypants ice cream cake, but considering that she never listens to me and has a head like a rock, we're left with Duncan Hines and all his evil intentions. Phooey, I say to that. Next time I'm putting my foot down.
I don't talk about it often, but there hasn't been one day of my life that's gone by that I haven't wished that she was my mom instead. She is smart and pretty and funny and very very organized. She knows that pups like me require some intelligent discourse, a comfy pair of cotton pajamas, and several good tummy rubs during the day. She play with me and talks to me and calls me Twinklebutt just because she knows that I secretly love it. Whenever I've watered the drapes, she puts her hands on her hips and says "Stewey, I don't approve of you peeing on the drapes, but I'm pretty sure that your mo-ther had it coming. What did she do this time?". And then she listens as I pour my heart out and reveal all of the ugly truths about life here at Chez Spinster.
Happy Birthday, Aunt Chrissy. I love you with all my heart and hope you know how special you are.
With love from your nephew,
Stewey

ReplyDeleteDear Stewey: As my children will tell you, the Aunt Chrissy's of the world are all wonderful, but if you live with them, they're also expecting of certain behavior. Just be glad you are not in a pound, cage or shelter with no one to love you.

ReplyDeleteStewy, the grass always looks greener on the other side, appreciate your mother.
but, having 2 dogs myself I can see/hear what he is saying....one of mine tinkles on the floor when she is really mad at me, she did it on my bed twice until I threatened her with "the shot".
Love your blog, I get such giggles from it, thank you.
