A pun a day keeps the editor at bay...
Mad Cat
The child looked up at the teacher, her eyes squinting, and replied, "My cat wasn't mad."
"But you said he was furious—which I must admit, is a very, very big word for a child your age."
"Well, he's very, very hairy!"
Sorry... so terribly sorry...

A furious cat. How sweet is that :)
ReplyDeleteMakes sense to me!
DeleteThanks for reading!
the emdash is my friend...
ReplyDeletethat is fun. I liked it.
It comes in especially useful for these Five Sentence Fiction postings. Thanks for reading, and sorry it took so long to reply to your (and everyone else's) comment. It's been a busy week!
DeleteCute -- both the picture and the story.
ReplyDeleteI believe very strongly is judicious -- or outright gluttonous -- use of the em dash. They are parenthetical without being coy.
Thanks, Tess. Glad to see you still have time to drop by! New job and all... Been a busy time for me, so it took a while to respond.
