Jack the Cat - a Mother's Day Story

 

So, we had this great 10 year old cat named Jack who just recently died.

 

Jack was a great cat and the kids would carry him around and sit on him and

nothing ever bothered him. He used to hang out and nap all day long on this

mat in our bathroom.

 

Well, we have three kids and at the time of this story they were four years

old, three years old and one year old. The middle one is Eli. Eli really

loves chap stick. LOVES it. He kept asking to use my chap stick and then

losing it. So finally one day I showed him where in the bathroom I keep my

chap stick and how he could use it whenever he wanted to, but he needed to

put it right back in the drawer when he was done.

 

Last year on Mother’s Day, we were having the typical rush around and try to

get ready for church with everyone crying and carrying on. My two boys are

fighting over the toy in the cereal box. I am trying to nurse my little one

at the same time I am putting on my make-up. Everything is a mess and

everyone has long forgotten that this is a wonderful day to honor me and the

amazing job that is motherhood.

 

We finally have the older one and the baby loaded in the car and I am

looking for Eli. I have searched everywhere and I finally round the corner

to go into the bathroom. And there was Eli. He was applying my chap stick

very carefully to Jack’s rear end. Eli looked right into my eyes and said

“chapped.”

 

Now, if you have a cat, you know that he is right -- their little butts do

look pretty chapped. And, frankly, Jack didn't’t seem to mind. And the only

question to really ask at that point was whether it was the FIRST time Eli

had done that to the cat’s behind or the hundredth.

 

And THAT is my favorite Mother’s Day moment ever because it reminds us that

no matter how hard we try to civilize these glorious little creatures, there

will always be that day when you realize they’ve been using your chap stick

on the cat’s butt.
