Machiavellian Catschemes

Filed under: — peter @ 9:33 am

The following conversation took place last night as I stared down our cat while holding a hammer.

BRIDGETTE: (annoyed) Peter, what are you doing?

ME: I’m showing Franklin who’s in charge.

BRIDGETTE: Well I’m in charge, and I forbid you from beating our cat with a hammer.

ME: (walking away) Fine.

I was forced to concede that particular battle to my wife, but rest assured, a time will come when I’ll be home alone with the cat. She can’t protect him forever. I’ll make certain he gets the message that I’m the boss.

At least when Bridgette’s not around.

    Do you think some day Ben will be a “free cat?” If that day comes I will plan on seeing a sign in the front of your yard that says “free husband.” Now that would be the ultimate ending to JLP.

    Thomas Jefferson, why the hell do you care? In remembering Alexander Hamiltion, it is true that Aaron Burr killed his body, but you, sir, killed his soul.

    I think you should just pee in Ted’s shoes Niles, but make Peter walk a mile in them just to see how it feels.
