Saying Good Morning...

Hi....It's me.....Annie Grace....

Good Morning! I have done my morning duty of awakening her quite early and even managed to throw in an act....that I actually was thrilled to see her awake. This usually begins with a massive amount of purring to which she gets all sappy saying "Oh Annie...you do like me!" No....I actually like my tuna flavored food more which I need YOU to get up and open the can! Then on a good day I let her pet me and then even get slightly affectionate....just in small doses. Then I jump up....give her a look of horror....like I just realized I let my guard down and this usually makes her concerned that she was too overwhelming........ya think?????? FINALLY.....she gets out of bed. Off on her most embarrassing walk...which leaves me a very QUIET breakfast time. So....she arrives home muttering about the people out and about. Figuring if I act interested...I could scoff Wisker Lickens off her. I sigh...put on my sweetest face....sit at attention....(trying not to look at the closet where my Lickens are)...put both paws perfectly placed in front of me, tilt my head, open my eyes wide and ask "what are you talking about?"

Well.....

It seems as though when she is out walking...NOT ENOUGH PEOPLE PAY ATTENTION TO HER!!!! She says as she is doing her runway strut/debutante walk with her headphones she says good morning to everyone. She CLAIMS no one really says it to her and when she says hello they all act startled like they just saw her and then they mumble. So now she is saying it really really loud thinking it will make people be nicer and they will think she is talking loud because her head phones are on.....loud. She even claims she smiles after she says it and keeps stumbling...I mean walking. At this point I do drift off and envision that I am living with Shirley in Italy waiting to cross the border to Poland...to find my family. Snapping back to reality I ask her what do people do when you very loudly say hello/good morning? She says they walk much more quickly in the opposite direction and keep looking back at her. She says they are probably wondering why she is so nice, where she bought her fabulous walking cloths and what is her shade of lip gloss.

I asked her "perhaps they think you are odd? Maybe they are just plain walking to enjoy some QUIET time and don't feel the need to converse with a crazy person?" She is pondering this right now and I have no Wisker Lickens........ This is not a good day!
