Well You Did Ask

~ James Viscosi

An actual recent conversation at our house, regarding some new food for our kitten, Oona, who continues to have mild gastrointestinal issues (i.e., soft poops):

Wife: “This food has 42 kilocalories per ounce. How much is Oona going to need?”
Me: “I’ll have to look at how many calories are in the food she’s been getting and do some math.”
Wife: “You don’t know how many calories she gets now?”
Me: “No, I don’t carry that information around in my head.”
Wife: “But you carry all kinds of other information around in your head. Name all the Doctors in order.”
Me (beat): “The First Doctor, the Second Doctor, the Third Doctor, the Fourth Doctor …”

One must choose one’s trivia questions wisely, lest they be answerable trivially.

By the way, for those few readers here who aren’t also readers of the animals’ blog, here’s Oona:

    1. Yeah, I have a huge backlog of pictures and videos from her very smol Smol Oona phase to get through over there. She’s way too photogenic! 😂 Tuesday is weigh-in day and she’s currently tipping the scales at 7.3 pounds (Charlee is 8.7 pounds and Chaplin 10.1).
