Kisses
by carolynholm
Dear Mia,
We need to talk about your evening kisses.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mommy,
I love our evening kisses!!!!!
Love, Mia
Dear Mia,
I know you do. And I love it when you cuddle on my chest while I read in bed. I really do. But the kissing is becoming a problem.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mommy,
A problem??????????? But I love you and I kiss you and kiss you and kiss you!!!!!!!!!
Love, Mia
Dear Mia,
I know you do sweetie, and that’s the problem.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mommy,
There’s a problem?
Mia
Dear Mia,
It goes on and on, for quite a long time, and your tongue is very rough, and after a while it starts to hurt my cheek. And not only that, your whiskers tickle. And to be honest, honey, I really don’t need grooming.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mommy,
Your cheek is hurt by my kisses?
Love, Mia
Dear Mia,
Yes, unfortunately. It makes it sore.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mommy,
From my tongue?
Love, Mia
Dear Mia,
Yes. From your tongue. I’m sorry to say that, but it does.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mommy,
This is because you don’t have fur. Humans don’t have proper covering!
Love, Mia
Dear Mia,
What can I say? You are absolutely right. I lack facial fur. So it hurts when you lick and lick and lick.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mommy,
You want me to stop.
Mia
Dear Mia,
No! No! Not at all honey. But maybe there’s a way we could modify this a little? Maybe a short bit of kissing and then call it a night?
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mommy,
I need to go into the other room now and lick myself.
Love, Mia
Dear Mia,
Now I’ve hurt your feelings. Please don’t take it personally. You know I love you.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mommy,
But you had to bring this up. I didn’t know I was hurting you.
Love, Mia
Dear Mia,
C’mon, I did keep saying “please stop“.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mommy,
I never believed you meant it. Who would want to stop kissing???!!!
Love, Mia
Dear Mia,
Clearly this is an interspecies problem. I have a feeling there will be no solution. So I give up, we’ll just forget I brought this up.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mommy,
That is the best solution.
Love, Mia
