The Predator
by carolynholm
Dear Mommy,
I just found out that I’m very very important!!!!!!!!!
Love, Mia
Dear Mia,
That’s wonderful! And I agree. Our household just wouldn’t be the same without you.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mommy,
You don’t understand. I’m talking about my place in the world.
Love, Mia
Dear Mia,
Well you do have an international following. Everyone loves your music video.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mommy,
They should. I’m a rock star. But that’s not what I’m trying to tell you about!!! You aren’t listening to me!!!!!
Love, Mia
Dear Mia,
Okay, I’m all ears. Tell me.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mommy,
All ears?????? That’s so funny!!!!!
Love, Mia
Dear Mia,
It means I’m listening. And I am. Listening.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mommy,
I’m a predator!!!!!!!!!!
Love, Mia
Dear Mia,
That’s it? We all know that cats are predators, honey. People who love birds are very concerned about outdoor cats.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mommy,
But not just that – I’m an Apex Predator!!!!!
Love, Mia
Dear Mia,
I guess in this house we’ll let you have the title of Apex Predator. But if you step outside you drop down the list a bit.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mommy,
Down the list?
Love, Mia
Dear Mia,
The predator list. I’m sorry to say this, but our local urban predators, the bobcats and coyotes and foxes, would have you for lunch in no time.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mommy,
Okay, then just around our house. But did you know that apex predators are the most important animals in the ecosystem?
Love, Mia
Dear Mia,
I’m so proud of you for knowing that! They are indeed. Those coyotes, foxes, and bobcats keep the garden rodent population under control.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mommy,
So since I’m an Apex Predator in our house, you and Dad need to remember to treat me with respect.
Love, Mia
Dear Mia,
And awe.
Love, Carolyn
