Maybe there's a reason why a woman is often referred to as a "cat"?

I'm sure that many of my readers are waiting on baited breath to see how much of an ass I'll make of myself.

Last night, Mother's Day of all days even, everyone was getting ready to go to bed.

I was sitting on the couch and as Ellie passed me said "You get to lock everything up... you're still up".

She has said this as a "joke" SOOO many times.

Which means last night, when I replied, "you're still up too", I was completely shocked when she flipped out!

She flipped out saying that "I told her to go and do it herself!".

Can we say, "Holy Flipping Shit Boy Wonder?"

Now Ellie is usually not like this.

Yet, recently, she runs hot/cold on stuff like... usually during a cycle that she doesn't have any visible signs that is happening.

Much like a cat, who when you're being nice and petting it, she flipped out with her verbal claws flying and stomping through the house to turn off the lights, let the dogs in/out, etc.

Actually, when she started off doing this, I just got up and did about half of our normal routine while she was doing it with her "claws" still flying.

It wasn't until she was laying there playing Pinochle on her phone after it was over that I said she's often joked about it and I thought it was silly for her to get all pissy like that.

Now you might think that's bring the claws out some more, but she finally said that she might have a migraine and dropped it.
