Carolyn Holm

Dear Mom,
Puffin and Poppy want me to ask you to stop vacuuming the house.
Love, Mia

Dear Mia,
That’s not going to happen, sweetie. 
Love, Carolyn

Dear Mom,
I don’t worry too much about it, but it terrifies Puffin, and it makes Poppy nervous.
Love, Mia

Dear Mia,
I’ve noticed that it puts Puffin in a panic. You’d think I was going after him with a knife.
Love, Carolyn

Dear Mom,
A knife would be quiet. He’s terrified of the noise. And Poppy is also worried about the noise.
Love, Mia

Dear Mia,
Why are you the spokesperson? Or spokescat. Whatever it is.
Love, Carolyn

Dear Mom,
They both think that I’m the one who is closest to you.
Love, Mia

Dear Mia,
You are indeed, you’re my spirit animal.
Love, Carolyn

Dear Mom,
So, will you stop the vacuuming?
Love, Mia

Dear Mia,
How about we make a deal. If the three of you stop shedding, I’ll stop the vacuuming.
Love, Carolyn

Dear Mom,
I don’t know how to do that!
Love, Mia

Dear Mia,
Probably it would mean twice-daily rubdowns with The Grooming Glove.
Love, Carolyn

Dear Mom,
We HATE the Grooming Glove!!!!!!!!!!
Love, Mia

Dear Mia,
Well, there you are. We’re at an impasse.
Love, Carolyn

Dear Mom,
We’ll have to get back to you on this.
Love, Mia
