(Brrrrrring.)
Me: Hello?
Allie: So, guess where I am.
Me: Silly. You just told me where you were going. You're at the Humane Society. Oh, shit.
Allie: Oh, don't worry. I'm not going to bring home a bunch of puppies for us to foster. (Laughter in the background)
Me: Well, phew.
Allie: Kittens.
Me: Kittens. You're bringing home a litter of kittens.
Allie: (hesitates) Well ... not so much a litter of kittens.
Me: So ...
Allie: Two.
Me: Phew. So, two kittens. Well, that's not so bad.
Allie: No, two litters. Of kittens.
Me: We need to find you an apartment. How many kittens, total?
Allie: Umm ... fiiiive.
Me: Liarpants. I'm not falling for that again.
Allie: So, eight. Eight kittens.
Me: And that's it.
Allie: Well, plus the moms.
Me: Moms. Plural. So, ten cats.
Allie: But eight are kittens.
Me: And this is a selling point ... how?
Allie: Ooops. Gotta go. So, you can tell mom, okay? Love you. Bye!

My heart just burst as well. I was once responsible for 9 lives, all at once, and it was fabulous feline madness. I'm quite jealous at the moment.

Allie: Does the Humane Society have monkeys?

they should change the phrase to "a barrel full of kittens" cuz that looks worse than monkeys! good luck.

Dad often uses the expression "like herding cats" when something is difficult or futile. I now know exactly what that expression means.

Hi Allie! Nice to see you're keeping your dad on his toes. I'll check back regularly for the updates! :)
