Catne is Sad

As The Shanster* and I fought for the last bite of chicken galbi, our Cat Lady friend sulked in her chair. This was alarming. Chicken galbi is delicious and should be fought for at all times, at the expense of all other things. When asked what the Hell she was sulking over, she shared the following tragedy with us: her cat has acne.

*(The Shanster hates it when I call her that, on account of it being a stupid Frat Boy nickname. But she doesn't read my blog, so it's all good)

3 minutes later when we were done laughing, Cat Lady tried to discuss this topic in a more serious nature. Epic failure ensued. We advised her that it wasn't time yet and laughed some more.

It's inexplicable that cat acne is this hilarious. But it is. It just is. I laugh just typing the words. Tears well up in my eyes.

For the rest of this week, whenever something gets me down - an undercooked meal, a failed lesson plan, getting blown off - I will remember Catne. And laugh. Until I cry.

My mission in life is to keep you laughing at all times...in spite of my cat's affliction. Puberty is a difficult time in a cat's life--mocking him will only make it worse...
