“I just can’t believe it.” said the larger cat. “How could you ever believe that spinster poodle?”. To which the littlest cat, a recent addittion to the Gomez household replied “She promised!”. The larger cat stares comically down at the smaller one.”And you fell for dreams of an evil witch?” replies the larger cat. “I couldn’t help it.” the small cat says. “She just promised so, so much.”. “Yes, well, we are all promised all that, over the hills and far away, but we make do with what they give us, nothing more, nothing less” replies large cat. The small cat whines “Yes yes, I don’t need you to go philosophical on me, just get me out of here!”. “Fine” responds the large cat, and proceeds to help out the small cat. Once he is free, the large cat turns to the small cat and says “Burro…..”. “That’s what she said too! She promised me a burrito as big as me!” the small one says. Sighing, Juanito the tabby cat turns to Jeremy and says “Burro means ass, and Lupita the poodle certainly made one out of you.”
