We were watching the Devil Wears Prada after dinner. The cat was meowing hysterically and dying for attention. The dog was barking fiercely due to irrepressible jealousy. I called the cat and let her know that she could jump up and sit in my lap so I could pat her. The idiotic thing absolutely refused to jump up because I did not sit and position myself the way she liked it.
Me: “Kill her. Kill her now. Dog! Bite the cat.”
On the TV screen, Miranda Priestly (Meryl Streep) was delivering the ultimate zinger.
Miranda: “Is there some reason that my coffee isn’t here? Has she died or something?”
I turned to Matt after laughing uncontrollably.
Me: “When can I be like her?”
Matt: “You ARE her already!!!”
