You tricked me! You said these were packages of fish to be unwrapped!

They haven't taught me to drive a stick yet!!

I'll try to climb one of these smaller ones before I tackle a big one.

I'm early for my organ lesson AND I remembered my music this time!

Such a lovely spot for a cat nap.

I bet I can tune this mixture as good as most I've heard lately!
PURRCY
Uh oh! Did she say blue black or black blue?
