Can I bring Spanky?



A little girl in Hannah's class had a birthday this week. Her parents bought her a new kitten for her birthday, and she brought it to school with her on Fri. to show everyone. It was very cute. Just a little ball of grey fluff. Hannah came out of class and immediately asked if she could bring Spanky on her birthday. I could do nothing but laugh out loud at the thought of it. I told her that her friend had a sweet little kitten and Spanky is a 14 year old, cranky cat with a crooked leg that makes most people wince when they see it the first time. He would NOT be a big hit with the preschool crowd. Hannah was determined to have her way and argued with me for quite awhile about it. She won't win this one. No matter how long she chooses to argue. I won't force Spanky to be cuddled/petted/tortured by a group of 18 4 & 5 year olds. He wouldn't tolerate any of that nonsense for a moment and would probably just pop a kid across the face a run out of the room hissing and spitting all the way. What fun!!

Spanky says "hell no"
