OK. I couldn't go to bed without telling you about this! I was getting ready doing the nightly which included a last visit to the porcelain bowl. As usual my trusty aids came in to wander around our three square feet of bathroom waiting for the miraculous moment when the WHOOSH Gods come and suck the water out of the porcelain bowl. There is a window with a deep ledge right in the bathroom. It is fun to jump on the ledge and contemplate if one can safely maneuver over mom's shoulders to the sink. Grant was the first to take advantage of this tonight. They usually take turns. Tonight, Sugar plowed in right behind him. It was like one of those big special FX things you see in the movie, but instead of the little car mowing under the semi, it was the little black cat under the big black cat.

Yup, there they stood, Grant looking surprised and confused. Can't go forward, can't go backward. Sugar's little face is peering out at me from under Grant's belly, wedged firmly under and between his legs. Can't go forward, can't see backward. I was laughing so hard I didn't see how they got out of it!

Funniest damn thing I've seen in a long time.
