"I ... T," we shouted like twins.
Seven gave us such a look.
Six said, "If you had clicked your heels you might have ended up in the closet at the Addams Family mansion. "Now ... repeat it with me, There's no place like home, there's no place like home, there's no place like home."
"Hello, Tom. Hi, Six. Were you supposed to come?"
The look on his face told me he wasn't.
OOPS.
There was a mass invasion of next-door neighbor.
"Hi, Doc."
She swung her shotgun in my direction and said, "Whenever you go, you're taking that damn cat when you do." She gave Six the thrice over, "Who is this handsome galoot?"
"Doc, this is the god Six, Six, this is my rowdy next-door neighbor, Doctor Janine. Six, Janine. Janine, Six. Close your mouth, both of you."
"Medical?" asked Six.
"Yup ... why?"
"I was afraid it was Doctor of Divinity," Six said.
"Nope ... Oh ... OH!" Her eyebrows disappeared out of sight.
She snatched his hand and the two were running out the door.
Tom twined Wendy's legs and purred. Really loud.
"Who stuck you with the name Tom?"
He glared at me, tossed his tail straight up, crooked it and pointed the bent end at me ... then I noticed he was a she and it was highly evident.
"He did?"
"Rowwell," Not Tom said.
"What is your name, my pretty?" Wendy said.
Pyewacket, Not Tom said, And don't you forget it.
"Oh ... the Pyewacket from the movie Bell Book and Candle?" Wendy asked.
Not, said Not Tom, And you better stop using THAT name. I don't like it.
