The Roomba
by carolynholm
Dear Mommy,
I’ve been studying the cat videos on the interwebs. This is something we should be doing.
Love, Mia
Dear Mia,
Doing? We?
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mommy,
Making our own cat videos.
Love, Mia
Dear Mia,
Starring you I would imagine.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mommy,
Of course starring me! I’d be perfect. We’d get bajillians of hits. People think I’m cute and pretty.
Love, Mia
Dear Mia,
Not when you’re having one of your psychotic episodes. That would be way too scary.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mommy,
I won’t have one of those in the video.
Love, Mia
Dear Mia,
If you did you’d probably get a whole different following. You could call yourself Slasher.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mommy,
Please stop that.
Love, Mia
Dear Mia,
Sorry, I can’t resist. It’s amazing to me that you are such a sweet cat, yet you can instantly transform into such a scary one! Slasher is a perfect name for your alternate personality. I saw it last night and I’ve got the bloody cut on my hand to prove it.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mommy,
I warned you not to keep petting me. You didn’t pay attention.
Love, Mia
Dear Mia,
You gave me a micro-second to respond!
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mommy,
I don’t want to talk about that. I want to talk about my video career. I’m not going to make Slasher videos. I’d rather do something cute. I’m working on the script right now.
Love, Mia
Dear Mia,
A script! Okay, I have to say I’m impressed. That’s very sophisticated. Are you going to wear cute costumes? Little hats?
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mommy,
No, those are for losers. I don’t need them. But we do need to get a Roomba.
Love, Mia
Dear Mia,
So you can be one of those dignified cats riding around on a Roomba?
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mommy,
Yes!!!!!
Love, Mia
Dear Mia,
It so would be worth getting a Roomba just to see you on it, even though it would probably kill Puffin and Poppy. They’d die of fright.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mommy,
They’ll get over it. And I’ll be famous.
Love, Mia
