Hey Mom,
We have new games!!!!!!!!
Winston

Dear Winston,
We do! I thought we needed some new ideas because Puffin seems bored with the old game.
Love, Carolyn

Hey Mom,
He’s not bored with it. He just stops playing so he can go to Dad’s desk for a treat.
Winston 

Dear Winston,
That’s become an every-evening tradition.
Love, Carolyn

Hey Mom,
Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Winston

Dear Winston,
You are going to wear out that exclamation point key.
Love, Carolyn

Hey Mom,
???????????????????
Winston

Dear Winston,
Never mind.
Love, Carolyn

Hey Mom,
Dad keeps treats in his desk!!!!!
Winston

Dear Winston,
I’m surprised you boys haven’t figured out where they are hidden.
Love, Carolyn

Hey Mom,
We can do that???
Winston

Dear Winston,
Probably not. If you could, Puffin would have already stolen them.
Love, Carolyn

Hey Mom,
I like the Feathers Wand. And the Slinky Tail. And the Hot Dot game. 
Winston

Dear Winston,
They are all good, aren’t they?
Love, Carolyn

Hey Mom,
But the Hot Dot is magic. Your hand clicks, and the dot flies around!!!
Winston

Dear Winston,
I think it is VERY interesting that you have made the connection between my hand and the dot. You of all people. You’re the first cat to look at my hand during the game, not always at the dot.
Love, Carolyn

Hey Mom,
I am? What’s the connection?
Winston

Dear Winston,
Never mind. Just keep chasing it. One of these days you might catch that dot!
Love, Carolyn

Mom,
What dot?
Winston
