Oh god Quote by R.M. Sorace
““Umm honey are you ok?” “Hmm?” “I said are you ok?” “Yes, of course,” said Felicity, “Why do you ask dear?” “No reason except that Henrick just threw up a red hairball, you’re watching static on TV, and Milo was standing by the back door with his paws crossed doing his best not to pee on the carpet.” “What? Oh God what time is it?” said Felicity feeling a little panicked. “6:30” “Six-Thirty?!? Only 5 minutes ago it was 4:00! My God all the children have had to eat is…is…”she couldn’t bring herself to say sugar and animal sheddings. Child services would probably show up if she uttered that out loud.””
