Long Time No See

Friday is a trash-take-out day. On trash-take-out days I scoop Max’s litterbox. When I scoop Max’s litterbox, he immediately jumps in and poops.

This morning, while I was waiting for Max to finish his morning poop, I was standing far away by the utility sink in the basement. I looked down and was startled to see something looking back at me:

I see you.

It was the rolly, glidey eyeball toy I’ve had since forever! I got it a hundred years ago when I lived in my old apartment on Taylor Avenue. I don’t know where it’s been, but suddenly it was on my basement floor looking up at me. I nudged it a little for old times sake, then scooped Max’s fresh poopings from the litterbox and took the trash out.

It keeps looking up while it rolls because the weighted eyeball is floating in water inside a clear plastic ball.

    “Here’s lookin’ at ya’, kid!” Now, wait – you CHOSE that as a TOY once upon a time? Alright, which of the rest of us plays with fake fingers or loose livers or…? I mean really!

    …and Tuesday evenings are Nonniecat’s litter scooping times (garbage is picked up Wed. a.m.), with similar effect. I sometimes wonder if by then she tries all day to ‘hold it’ until the freshening process – by that time of the week things have sometimes gotten a tad aromatic in there and all. If only we’d taught her to flush years ago…

    Two things.

    First. Did you have you camera on you, or did you actually run back upstairs to get that shot? Heh.

    Second. What? No happy half-birthday greetings for me??

    Watch your back, Brad. That eye is trying to tell you something.

  4. Lauren says:

    Ha! It’s hilarious that you just left it there after nudging it. Do you think it might be Max’s favorite toy?

    HHB, Beth. :)
