so, mom and dad have had this stray kitten hanging around the house the past week or so. its got a collar and obviously a house cat. they don’t want a cat, and we’ve been talking about getting another kitten for the kids. they are old enough now to understand how to take care of it.

so i told the kids that grandma and grandpa were coming up to visit and they have a very special present for both of them. i explained that this present would be one that they would have to take extra special care of and the said OK.

so mom and dad get here and oh boy are they excited. i said that they can name the cat, and simon says “his name is manga!”

uh… manga? are you sure?

felicity and simon chime in MANGA!!!

*facepalm*

i’m not even sure if my kids know that manga is the name of an anime distributor. well, i know they don’t know. people think we’re strange for a reason.

so, after several hours of this new kitten being extremely tolerant of being carted around in a very undignified manner, the kids go to bed and bailong comes in. the meeting of the old cat to the new cat. not sure how this is going to go. currently bailong is sitting behind my computer staring intently at manga who is curled up against the wall next to the TV. its a mexican stand off. any moment now one of them is going to charge and that will be the end of it.

or they may just go to sleep. who knows.

so, besides the new kitten, my back is much better and i’m able to bend over at the waist and pick up objects up to 15 pounds instead of nothing at all. its mostly just sore muscles instead of a pinched disk now.

i think i’ll do a separate post for the rest of the strange things my family has said throughout the day. some of it was just too odd.
