Tom & Jerry

Last year my parents got the kids two kittens when they came to visit, Jack and Jill.  They talked about those kittens all year long and couldn't wait to see them again.  Only one problem, Jack and Jill found a new home with my uncle and no longer live with my parents.  How do you fix a problem like that?  Simple, you get some more kittens.  My aunt gave my parents two replacement kittens.  Problem solved!  The kids tried to call them Jack and Jill until my dad informed that they already had names, Tom and Jerry.  The kids tortured played with those kittens constantly.  Jerry was a little more easy going and just plain lazy so he was a favorite at nap time.  Tom loved to play but would get a little rowdy and occasionally scratch the kids, but toward the end of our trip he mellowed out a little.

The kids begged to take the kittens home with us but I had to put my foot down.  Actually, Hubby put his foot down.  Although it would have to be a pretty big foot seeing as it's in Mississippi... I would have gladly taken the kittens home, but two kittens and three kids on a plane?  There is a limit to my sanity...
