Puzzles with Teka and Lily

Uncle Mark is So Funny!

Every once and a while my sister lets my BFF, Katya, call. The other day was one of these days. Being only 3 Katya doesn't always pick on the nuances of things.

Katya: Tante (German for aunt) Heidi, you come play puzzles with Teka & Lily!

Teka and Lily are her cats, which last time I checked didn't have thumbs, or an interest in anything past licking their butts.

Me: I would love to come play puzzles with Teka and Lily, but I live 2 hours away.

Loooooooong pause. My spidey sense kicks in and I just know what she's thinking, 'Oma, always comes over when I call.' Then I hear the phone drop and her mother scrambling to pick it up. Which is the phone equivalent of, 'Well, I'm done with you then!'
