My Mommy’s Job

If only I were a nurse! A children's librarian, an Avon Lady!

From My Young Adventures:

I was sliding on my butt around on the kitchen floor, trying to catch and force my sick cat to swallow a giant blue pill, while my 8-year-old daughter stood over us, watching us with complete disdain.

"So, I need to know, what is your job, Mom?"

I got the capsule in the back of the cat's gullet and clamped his muzzle shut. There was something I didn't like about Aretha's tone.
