WHAT: One copy of the San Diego Reader.
HOW: We’re not sure exactly how it happened. Indeed, this whole incident is what we in the parenting biz call “Very Mysterious.”
Here are the facts:
- Bonnie asked Squirt to take the overgrown pile of newspapers to the recycle bin.
- Squirt picked up the newspapers and was seen heading for the recycle bin in the garage. (This is where it gets Very Mysterious.)
- The pile of newspapers somehow made its way from the recycle bin in the garage to the stair landing in the house. All by itself.
- Mojo found the pile first. He pawed through it and spread newspapers all over the stairs, but he only chewed up the San Diego Reader—presumably because the picture ticked him off.
BONNIE’S REACTION: (Steps on something wet and pulpy.) Eeewww! What is this? Yuck! And here’s some more… (follows pulpy trail and finds the Reader) Oh.
HUBBY’S REACTION: Ho yeah, Mojo, you are da DOG! You showed that beast, didn’t ya! He ain’t so tough now, is he?
BONNIE’S REACTION: SQUIRT!
SQUIRT: But I DID put the newspapers in the recycle bin! I SWEAR! I get blamed for EVERYTHING!
REPLACEMENT COST: None, as the San Diego Reader is free.
Maybe it was the dog on the cover… maybe he was terrified and had to fight that dog – yeah – that’s it. He was protecting, that’s all….
😉
Maybe Mojo the mighty thought he’d make a better cover model?
My Monday is complete. I have my Mojo fix.
There is a certain symmetry in Mojo chewing the other beasts jaw. Subtle show of superiority?? 😉
I could hear Mojo. He said, “Oh, no you don’t! Not in this house!”
I’m here early tonight. Had to do my blogging out of order…Blogger is down for an hour…big surprize!
