Oral Issues
In his DOL (daily oral language) studies today, Chicken was asked by his teacher to add a suffix to the word quick. His response? Quicken. I guess the forehead writing scarred him. We'll just add that to the list of issues to bring up in his therapy some day.
Speaking of oral, I took Dude to the Veterinarian last month to get his teeth cleaned. It seems that when he goes into the bathroom to brush his teeth, he is merely wetting his tooth brush and NOT BRUSHING HIS TEETH AT ALL. As a result, he had a nasty build-up of tartar. It cost me just over $300.00. As a direct result of the bill (which included knocking his ass out and cleaning and blah blah blah), I decided that trusting a three year-old to brush his own teeth is folly. Therefore, I have been doing it myself.
Notice how in the second picture he is looking directly into the camera as if to say "I cannot believe the amusement you are getting out of this situation." Yes, Dude it is amusing to me. So much so that I am having H3.2 photograph it for all the Internets to see your humiliation. Why would I do this to my beloved cat?
1. $300.00
2. He is on a diet and is not taking kindly to the reduction in food, therefore he is waking me up at all hours MEOWING loudly, rustling the blinds, knocking shit over, etc.
3. He's a stoner cat. That's not to say he's a daily smoker, however he has smoked in the past. He gets a bit upset by the teeth brushing and then says "Where's the Doritos?" You may notice that I don't have gloves on and I'm wearing only a T-shirt. Dude is fully claw equipped and could rip me a new one if he so desired. You may also notice that he doesn't say "Duuuuddde, where's the Doritos?" because he doesn't talk to himself.
In a completely unrelated manner, I'm having English issues. Specifically with the United States' version of quotation marks. Always put punctuation INSIDE the quotations NO MATTER FUCKING WHAT. However, I read these cool things called books when I'm not reading blogs. Some of these books are not American English and use quotation marks inside or outside depending on usage. The way they should be used, in my opinion. As I frequently fuck all to hell English and grammar rules on this blog I don't know if I care whether I'm using the American standard or not. But... a teeny tiny part of me wants to do it correctly. My previous training in written English was in the form of papers written for college which did not include free-flowing rambling, run-on sentences and dialogue. Those damn business professors frown on that sort of thing. Fuck. I'll get over it.
Last and least: I will do my best to scrapbook this weekend to alleviate some of the picture frenzy recently noticed on this blog. Also (I lied, that wasn't last) I will try to get my buddy Emma to post this weekend. She has a lot of shit stored up I am sure.

Dude must be a really laid back cat to let you do that. I'm not sure mine would hold still for it.
I was always told that only "boring" punctuation goes inside the quotes (stuff like . and ,) and stuff like ? and ! goes in the quotes if it pertains to the quote. That is all.
