mama says

mama says i have entered adolescence

i have been in a certain spirit lately that i like to call "exploratory" or "curious" or "actively engaged in the world"

mama calls it "testing my boundaries" or "trying her patience" or "wantonly destroying everything in my path"

for example yesterday i ate a very interesting book called the ballad of dingus magee and when mama and papa found me they were maaaad

papa said NO EATING BOOKS IN THIS HOUSE! which i find confusing because we are a very literary family

so later i tried to make amends by writing a new book for the library but i ended up just eating a whole pen because they are not well designed for canine usage and then i puked up ink all over the study floor

i could have taken it in a pollockian direction from there but mama chased me into the backyard and papa mopped it all up

i feel they do not quite understand my vision so i worked all night on deconstructing my bed by which i mean i painstakingly chewed a hole in it and tore out all the stuffing

this morning when mama came out for her shower i said SURPRISE I INVERTED THE BED PARADIGM and she turned around and went back to bed

oh daisy mae! daisy mae!

(my mama is typing while i dictate because she does what i tell her...)

i tried once to study for my mama. she was stressed. i wanted to help take notes. i see her with books and pens and she uses these things on her eyes when she reads, glasses i think they are called, but she does not drink out of them. weird. i put on her glasses, grabbed a book, and a pen, and a notebook, but i could not work the pen either and i got ink on the floor. she put me in a cage and yelled and screamed for a very long time. then she cried and had beer.

she does not understand.

the divine miss t.

(as taken in dictation by mama maude).

p.s. why do they make paper taste so good if we are not supposed to eat it? have you tried the portable emerson? it is delectable.
