Laying Claim to the Prey...

I think I'm the unwitting victim of a science experiment. You are all aware of my love of bottle caps. As are my parents. Well, I came downstairs the other evening to find a bowl on the floor chock full of bottle caps. Thinking it must be a mirage, I high tailed it over and began batting about inside the bowl. IT WAS NO MIRAGE! I spent the rest of the evening removing caps one by one and swatting them about the room until there were none left (that being, I had hit them all under the couch).

The next morning mom came down and I heard her say, "It worked! He took every single one!" Excuse me? Was she referring to me? I am not some lab rat that will perform for a piece of cheese. Oh no, this will not do.

Mom decided to fill the bowl back up and see what I would do next. Well don't you know, when she got home from work, the bowl was just as she had left it. Yeah, let them figure that one out. Then, just to make things more interesting, once she had emptied the bowl, I went ahead and dropped some caps in there while they slept.

Yeah, they can't make heads or tails of me now. Suckers....
