Scene:  Bedraggled mommy hunched over a sink, doing last night’s dishes.

Water running.

Thump thump thump thump thump thump. Chloe (27 pound two year old) running from family room, through dining room, into playroom.

“No Wegowas, run that way.”

Mommy turns of water…listens…it’s silent. Turns water back on, continues with dishes.

“No, Wegowas, no no!”

Mommy turns off water, curiosity getting the better of her, and goes to investigate.

Chloe is shining a flashlight on the walls, the floors, the ceiling, etc.  Legolas (like all cats are wont to do)  is chasing the light.  Apparently, Chloe feels she had propriety rights to the light and is trying to keep him from attacking it.

Shaking her head, mommy goes back into the kitchen to finish the dishes.
