My Little Dwarves
Teething, Chills/Feverish, and Pukey.
Don't they look charming? They're going to be actors when they grow up! A picture's worth a thousand words, but this one is a few choice words short. It doesn't really accurately evoke words like: tears, screaming, tantrum, and hysteria.

Purrfect Solution
There are six (admittedly adorable) young cats who hang out in our backyard sometimes. They are all shades of grey but don't appear to be the same type of cat, so not siblings, just buddies. I am guessing one of our neighbors just realized she was never going to get married and decided to commit fully to the stereotype. Either that or PetSmart just started using punch cards. "Buy five cats, get one free!" Some people really can't resist a bargain.
Anyway, Cael and Finn love them and want to adopt them, obviously. I told them that was not an option. The real reason for this is that litter-boxes are on my "Never Subject Yourself to this Voluntarily" list. (Also included on the list: needles, seafood, door-to-door salesmen, Nicholas Cage films.) The reason I gave the boys, however, is that we already have a dog and dogs don't like cats.
Allie: We can't have Clio and a cat in the same house, guys. They just wouldn't get along.
Cael: That's okay, Mama! We can just get another house!
I'm thinking cleaning a litter-box would be less offensive than cleaning an entire second home, but I could probably be convinced if it had a walk-in closet and bigger master bathroom. Add an updated kitchen and you've got yourself a deal.

It's Never the Right Time to Shower.

You can tell Cael is Very Serious because he put on his hat and packed his (brother's) backpack. Also, it's never the right time to give a 2 year-old laxatives. True story.
