Yesterday I was having a micro nap on the couch. I was facing the wall. Woke up. Needed a pee. Put my dead legs down and there was an almighty squeal. The kid woke from the other couch. The man came running. Yeah I had stood on the little dog who was snoozing on the floor beside me. I don't think he has fully forgiven me.

My kid accidentally sat on the cat once, and the squeal he let out made me think he’d lost a finger. He had some nasty scratches on his legs (nowhere more sensitive, fortunately). The cat made no noise at all but vanished for quite a while after that

Oh no. Smart cat.

oh noooo and the worst part is they're so betrayed and you can't communicate to them it was an accident!

I know. He gave me a look of "why did you do that"?
