My poor mom, she still believes there's a man peeking at her through doors that are cracked open a bit.
Nope, no man Ma.
This morning my husband had a brilliant idea. He suggested that I ask her if the cat is sleeping next to her when she sees the man.
I did ask my mom the question and she said, "Yes." I replied, "Ma, do you think the cat is going to stay laying here asleep if there's a man peeking through the door? Savita is the scardiest cat in the world, she'd be long gone. So, as long as the cat is sleeping next to you on the bed, then there's no man.
Let's hope the cat begins to serve a useful purpose other than looking cute and setting you up for a good scratch from her right hook.
