beware the kat

morning conversations:

Big Kid: "Bubbles, come here, Bubbles."
Me: "Who are you talking to?"
Big Kid: "Itty Bitty Kitty, I think I'm going to rename him Bubbles. Here, Bubbles."
Me: "What?"
Big Kid: "Maybe it will be his nickname. Wouldn't you like that, Bubbles?"
Me: "Poor Cat, can't get a boy's name, just get's stuck with girl names."
Big Kid: "Well, I didn't name him."
Little Bit: "Yeah, I named him and I like it."
Me: "It's a good name."
Big Kid: "And Bubbles is what this big kid at our camp, who gets to pick the spot that you play said we should call our group. Kind of like Rush or whatever. And his has this funny voice when he says Bubbles. So, I thought Bubbles would be good."
Little Bit: "Maybe it could be his middle name."
Me: "Well his middle name is Kitty."
Little Bit: "Ok it can be his nickname."

So, there you have it: Itty Bitty Kitty "Bubbles" Bright.

later...

Little Bit: "Hey, Daddy, watch me. I'm going to talk for Kitty."

She looks over at Itty Bitty Kitty who is lying on the floor looking at us.

Little Bit using a sweet-sing-song voice, "I'm just sitting here watching you. Are you watching me? I'm watching you. You are my friend."

Kitty just watched.
