Cat Subterfuge
Rustle-rustle-rustle....
ME: Merlyn, what are you doing over there?
Rustle-rustle-snip!
MERLYN: It's complicated.
ME: Is it? Care to enlighten me?
MERLYN: No.
(Every parent, and everyone who shares a life with a cat or dog, knows that this is trouble.)
ME: I think you should share this little adventure with me.
MERLYN: Almost done.
(I head into the bedroom. Paper scraps, tape, scissors...my Kindle?)
ME: What are you doing to my Kindle?
MERLYN: It's not a Kindle, it's a NOOK.
ME: How do you figure that?
MERLYN: It says NOOK right there, in teeny, tiny print.
ME: It doesn't work that way.
MERLYN: That is the problem.
ME: Merlyn, look --
MERLYN: You wanted a NOOK originally, didn't you?
ME: Well, yes.
MERLYN: And a friend who decided to get a Kindle Fire was nice enough to give you his Kindle Touch, so you haven't saved up for a NOOK.
ME: True.
MERLYN: I got you a NOOK.
ME: But --
MERLYN: Now you can play the NOOK game. You can post this picture and get the NOOK files!
ME: But --
MERLYN: And you can read them on Excaliber --
ME: Calibre.
MERLYN: Right. Or one of the other computer programs, or you can convert the DRM-Free ones in Excaliber to Kindle!
ME: In Calibre to MOBI.
MERLYN: Why do you always speak in tongues?
ME: *SIGH.*
MERLYN: Merry Christmas!
You can't see his shiny eyes in this terrible photo, but he's peering hopefully at me from under his blanket. He HATES being photographed. I have two pictures I know are him, and both are with Max. So I will be playing the NOOK game with Merlyn's entry. We'll see if anyone falls for it!
Happy Holy Days, Y'all.
