> This is too funny!

> 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 a mat in our bathroom.
>
> Well, we have 3 kids, and at the time of this story they were 4 years old,
> 3 years old and 1 year old. The middle one is Eli. Eli really loves
> Chapstick. LOVES it. He kept asking to use my Chapstick and then losing
> it. So finally one day I showed him where in the bathroom I keep my
> Chapstick 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 trying 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
> Chapstick 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 seem to mind.
>
> And the only question to really ask at that point was whether it was 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 Chapstick on the cat's butt.
