Cousin: — When you run out of things to say, you can always tell a piece of ancient Chinese wisdom. Rat: — Good idea! So what’s your piece of wisdom for such occasions? Cousin: — That was it.
Oh dearest Ratling, how can you keep your head and your trusty clarity of mind when your silly cousin tries to spin you like this with his circular logic!
PS: I have been AWOL temporarily as I have been very busy with dealing with your cousins who had set up residence in my house in the form of fuzzy little nests for their babies made of my shredded baby blue bathmats! I’m in total admiration at how good they are at shredding everything, plastic grocery bags, cardboard boxes, plastic bottles of all kinds (including some containing my meds, and some containing cleaning products under my sink, etc.) Fortunately, my abode needed a deep clean anyway and I discovered essential oil packets, which smell delicious to me, but not to your little cousins! They’ve moved out, taking a few more pieces of the bathmat, which is fine with me if it helps them get comfortable in a new home! Whew!
