The Plan

by carolynholm

Hey Mom,
You left your laptop open!!!!!!!!!
Winston

Dear Winston,
I don’t like the sound of that.
Love, Carolyn

Hey Mom,
Now there’s music coming out of it!!!!!
Winston

Dear Winston,
That’s the Tord Gustavsen Trio. You must have stepped on iTunes again. I hope that’s all you did.
Love, Carolyn

Hey Mom,
There was a Word file open, and I added wse4r32@ to it.
Winston

Dear Winston,
Okay, that’s enough of that. I’ve put the laptop away. You look spring-loaded, about to take flight. What’s your plan?
Love, Carolyn

Hey Mom,
A plan????? I need a plan??????
Winston

Dear Winston,
Wreaking havoc is fun for a bit, but eventually it’s good to have a Plan. 
Love, Carolyn

Hey Mom,
I was going to snuggle with Poppy, but she moved.
Winston

Dear Winston,
She’s not keen on sharing her bed. Too bad, that was a good plan.
Love, Carolyn

Hey Mom,
I can go play with the gift wrap ribbon!!!!!!!
Winston

Dear Winston,
I’ve put that away. Let’s see if we can think of a different Plan. 
Love, Carolyn

Hey Mom,
Running really really really FAST!!!!!!! Through every room in the house!!!!!!! That’s my Plan. Oh, and I knocked over the fern in the living room.
Winston

Dear Winston,
Not the best outcome.
Love, Carolyn

Hey Mom,
I know Puffin’s Plan. It’s the same every day: Demand Breakfast. Eat. Nap. Eat. Nap. Eat. Nap. Demand Dinner. Eat. Nap. Announce Game Time. Play game. Eat. Nap. Eat. Nap. Eat. Nap. Then wake Mom and Dad for Breakfast.
Ta Da!
Winston

Dear Winston,
That’s our Puffin. He does like his Plan. Though I think he has a richer inner life than you are giving him credit for.
Love, Carolyn
