Today Kathy called me at work with a problem. She was painting the front door light green. While she was painting the door, apparently Danny picked up the paint-laden lid and went over and painted Tiger, the cat that lives next door.

I asked Danny about it on the phone. He said he did it. He’s an honest kid. Couldn’t tell him how funny I thought it was, of course. Wish I had thought to paint Tiger light green.

I told Danny that he and Mom would have to give the cat a bath. Didn’t tell him that painting the cat and giving it a bath was like hitting a double.
