Cher Madame,

Monsieur has invented le best sport ever!

Regards,

M. Le Poufin

 

Dear Puffin

You are doing sports now?

Love, Carolyn

 

Cher Madame,

I am. Avec Monsieur. We do sports together.

Regards,

M. Le Poufin

 

Dear Puffin,

That’s wonderful! I’m so glad you have something to share. Is this a game that involves your blue rubber ball?

Love, Carolyn

 

Cher Madame,

Non, c’est un Extreme Sport.

Regards,

M. Le Poufin

 

Dear Puffin,

Is it with the feather toy?

Love, Carolyn

 

Cher Madame,

The feather toy, pah! She is for girlie cats like Mia.

Regards,

M. Le Poufin

 

Dear Puffin,

Does this involve destruction? Like when you shred a roll of toilet paper?

Love, Carolyn

 

Cher Madame,

Non, ça, that is for kittens.

Regards,

M. Le Poufin

 

Dear Puffin,

Well, you certainly did your fair share of that when you were a kitten. So I give up. What is this sport?

Love, Carolyn

 

Cher Madame,

It is the chasing of a wild et elusive prey.

Regards,

M. Le Poufin

 

Dear Puffin,

You are chasing prey? Here in the house?

Love, Carolyn

 

Cher Madame,

Oui!!! I lunge, I chase, I leap, I pounce!

Regards,

M. Le Poufin

 

Dear Puffin,

Ahhhh, wait a minute. This prey, would it be red?

Love, Carolyn

 

Cher Madame,

Oui!!! Le Red Dot!!!!!!!

Regards,

M. Le Poufin

 

Dear Puffin,

The laser pointer. I should have guessed. I’m so glad that you and Monsieur have discovered this sport.

Love, Carolyn

 

Cher Madame,

Monsieur exerts un control étrange on cette red dot. It comes from his hand and flies around the room!

Regards,

M. Le Poufin

 

Dear Puffin,

Just please  don’t knock over any lamps while you fly around the room after it. I don’t want wanton destruction to be the subject of a future blog post.

Love, Carolyn
