A Stupid Dad Multiple Choice Post

 And so this is how it goes.  

Dad:

b) slides

c) slithers

d) sneaks

out of bed:

a) before God

b) at stupid o'clock

c) before the ass-crack of dawn

d) at I can't sleep so I might as well get up o'clock

every morning, where he'll:

a) shuffle

c) zombie wander

d) zoom

off to the:

c) ash pit

d) garage

to:

a) slurp

of caffeine, leaving:

a) Mutt and Jeff

b) Wile E. Coyote and the Roadrunner

c) Donald and Melania

d) Cleo and mom

 to sprawl out, making full use of the bed's total square footage to their hearts' content.  Notice who gets most of the space.


Mom and dad are on day 4 of their week of hiking since dad's got the week off.  With the exception of Wednesday (groceries, laundry, errands, etc.), the mom-tinerary includes miles of trails in Pisgah National Forest, Dupont State Forest, Hickory Nut Gorge, Green River Game Lands and Table Rock up by Linville Gorge.  So far since Saturday they've logged about 10 miles each day, including a few extra steps at the end of:

a) one 

b) two 

c) three

d) all 

 of those days up to the order window at Whistle Hop and Highland breweries.

Hahahaha!
As long as you get the biggest slice of the bed, Cleo...none of it matters!

Cleo, you do such a good job of keeping track of Dad's movements. He must
be a funny person to live with, keeps you cracking up at his antics. Not
that you have any, Cleo, like taking over the bed. The hiking sounds great,
it's been decades since I saw the Linville falls. Hope they get back from
the brewery in time to get out the cat feast.

The hu-mom was busy making A, B or C, etc. choices but then JUNE nastily swatted her hand away from the keyboard fearing she would make a mortal enemy of either "the Dad" or "Cleo" or even "sleepy Mom" if she dared to continue along that path ... and further comments on this blog would possibly be forever blocked.

Cleo has a large hunk of the bed so I'm assuming dad got up early to shuffle off to sip is coffee.

Have a purrfect day, Cleo. My best to your peeps. ♥

Well, of course you should get the biggest slice of the bed, Cleo. As it should be...

Ha! That was awesome, no matter which answers we chose, Cleo. We are glad to see you get that big part of the bed. As it should be!

Furries said...

Wow, that's a lot of work to keep track of the comings and goings. I think you're being quite generous in allowing your Mom so much space on the bed.

Ivan from WMD said...

MOL, Cleo, how can you even move? You need a king!

Katie Isabella said...

Cleo, all us girl cats own all the bed space. I take up 3/4ths of this one and she's so scared about rolling on me. As if~

My Mind's Eye said...

Bravo standing ovation on this most informative and fun post of Dad's goings and comings. Tell Mom my hubby and I love Pigsah, Dupont Hickory Nut Gorge.

I love that you girls get to stay in bed for your beauty sleep
