The secret shower place

I've had a vase of yellow roses and a vase of sunflowers on the kitchen table for the last week.  F saw Fluffy eating the sunflowers this morning and got interested in them.  She had her 'mommy cat' doll pretend to eat the flowers too.  Then she came over to me while I was eating my cornflakes, leaned over my precarious bowl of milk and gave me a huuuge hug.

'Don't worry, mommy.  Don't worry' she said (with uncanny resemblance to the inflection of my voice when I'm comforting her.)

'My ust hiding in da showers aday'.

Then she wiggled back and laid down behind the vases.

'My hiding in da showers! My hiding!'




I had to laugh.  'Oh, you're hiding in the flowers?  Okay, well, don't hide too long.  I miss you when you're hiding.'

'My sLeeeping!  My sLeeeping in da showers.

And she laid down her head and closed her eyes.

'In dee secret shower place.....'

And she was still for two seconds.

'MEEEEEOOWWW!  Mommy At said MMMMEEEEOOOWW!  EEEATS dee showers!!'

Up jumps the fairy with her feline companion and she is off again on more adventures.
