The Big Show

I suppose some may think that it’s a tragic day…

when you want nothing more than to put on a sweet little puppet show

so you gather your puppet friends and get everyone ready…

but your only audience turns out to be…

the cat.

And even he isn’t particularly respectful…

of the time and talent it takes to put on such an amazing show.

In fact, Mr. Beany slept through it all…

even the solo number.

Alas~ true artists are never appreciated in their own hometown.

But in the end, we did learn one important fact.

Apparently Harry Potter and Edward Cullen get along just fine–ask Ernie and Bert.

We love you WeeKnit!

Beany’s Karma

Please tell me how it is that Beany–

ancient, wise, stalwart Beany–

big, strong, dog-slayer Beany–

hungry, whining, “let-me-in-NOW-because-I’m-STARVING,” Beany–

can suddenly become so incredibly…dense?

“See, I told you Harriet. Cats are really thick.”

My Friend Beany

A Photo Essay by Baby Chomp–age 2

Once upon a time there was a big, old, very sleepy kitty named Beany.  Everyone told me since I was really little that I should leave him alone because he doesn’t really like kids.

They said that if I got too close or bothered him at all, he’d for sure scratch me, and if I scared him he just might bite…hard.

They said, believe it because he’s scratched lots of kids that didn’t.

Oh, they believe now.

But I’m not scared because Beany the cat is my friend. I like to sit by him and pet him and rub his back and hold his hands. I like to say, “Heeeere kitty-kitty-kitty,” like Grammie does so he’ll come sit by me. Sometimes, when no one is looking, I even give him a kiss on top of the head–and he lets me.

Maybe he scratches everyone else in the whole world—but he doesn’t scratch me.

I think he knows that I love him…

so Mr. Beany loves me right back.
