Someone followed me home.

“I was walking in the woods and a fuzzy thing began following me and followed me for a half mile home. No kidding! It looks like a mini white tigger...oh about 5 months old....bib blue eyes....


He walked right inside the house like he owns the joint...

....The he said his name is max.

then promptly made himself comfy on my couch and clossed his eyes 2 minutes after walking through my door...

...goodness. What should i do? toss him out?


how will I break the news to mike?”

“Hey Nicole,

I picked up a pizza from a local joint last night in dowtown Highland. Next door is an exotic reptile store. (You know about this place?)

I was thinking about you guys when I spied a 5 foot alligator in the window staring at me as I passed by.

All together now!
(Who's that alligator in the window)”

“mike wont let me have a gator. I've asked many times.”

“Give him/her to a nice Korean family.”

“Why? Might eat Sacha?”

“...big blue eyes and a heart of gold...I think about yooooooouuuuuuu....

OK, I'll stop singing now.”

“they serve "alligater voodoo" (fried alligator at a restaurant called "Fishbones" (N'awlins-styled cajun food...) it's yummy-- has the texture of a chewy pork and tastes pretty good...”

“Tastes like chicken?”

“oh he's sooo cute. Mike doesnt like kitties tho....hmmmmmm. Well I uess he's just gonna learn to live with it!”

“Wohoo! Mike says were keeping him :) He was a grump about it but we are keeping "max" :) He's already trying to learn to type. Maybe Mr. Hyde will have a buddy! :D”

“puff puff give give... you're screwing up the rotation SC. Think you took one too many hits.”

“do you think I could teach him to go backpacking with me? I mean he followed me 1/2 mile in the woods after all...”

“Goodness gracious Alice! You've had all the potion in the bottle labeled "Drink Me"! Now try some of the biscuit on the table that says "Eat Me." And keep an eye on that fuzzy thing on the couch; it may slowly disappear except for its smile.

Things can only get "curiouser and curiouser" from here on out. Or maybe you should try stepping back through the looking glass!”
