The other day after shopping I left a bunch of paper packaging out for my wife's smelly weasel to play with. Later my wife, Vicki, recalled reading in the list about wadding up paper on the floor and shouting "NO!" to break her new pet from jumping down from her shoulders. All the way to the floor seemed too far for little Gigit to fall, even into nice soft paper. The foot of our bed looked safe but still far enough to get the message across. Up went Gigit on the shoulders who needed no encouragement to leap. "NO!" yelled Vicki. Plop went the ferret. Then the ferret shuffle and a quick trip back to ask Vicki to pick her up again so she could do it all again. This cycle went on many times! Each time was just a little more fun than the time before. I don't blame Gigit for not taking Vicki seriously. - Do they take anything seriously? - If someone was laughing at me that hard, why should I care if she yells louder each time I jump?
