Carolyn Holm

Mom,
You left us.
Winston

Dear Winston,
I know, but not for long, sweetie.
Love, Carolyn

Hey Mom,
It was a long long long long time. We were abandoned.
Winston

Dear Winston,
No, you weren’t. You were well taken care of by Cathie.
Love, Carolyn

Hey Mom,
She’s ok, but it wasn’t the same. But I have a plan for next time. I’m just going to stay put in this thing so you can’t take it without taking me.
Winston

Dear Winston,
I’m not sure that will work. You’ll get tired of life in a suitcase. And really, we didn’t leave you all that long. 
Love, Carolyn

Hey Mom,
We weren’t sure why you weren’t coming back. Puffin told me you were eaten by predators.
Winston

Dear Winston,
You all need to stop with the predator story. We don’t get caught by predators. We just went away.
Love, Carolyn

Hey Mom,
Why did you need to leave us? Was it something we did? Was it the hairball behind the tv?
Winston

Dear Winston,
Wait, the what?
Carolyn

Hey Mom,
It wasn’t mine. It was Puffin’s. 
Winston

Dear Winston,
Thank you for the heads up. 
Love, Carolyn
