Escapee

I can't believe he tried it again... This time was a lil bit scarier though. Last time Oreo escaped, it was through a hole he'd slowly been working to make bigger. This time.... This time he used force. Pushed his way out or something and out he went, sending Mom and I in a panic to quickly try and retrieve him. Okay, from the beginning.....

This is the window Oreo's escaped out of twice now. The first time was through a hole in the screen (screen was replaced months ago and nailed in or so I thought). Mind you, this second escape was in the wee hours of the morning, Mom was busy getting ready for work and I was doing dishes. The blinds were closed, but I didn't close the window in time (I usually shut it before I go to bed) and he took his chance. As neither Mom nor I saw it, I can only guess he knocked the stuff off the nightstand when he jumped on or maybe when he was working at opening the screen. At any rate, the clatter of things got both our attention and then before I could grab him, he was out.

Shoes were thrown on and off I went outside and around the building. Having scared off the cat he was trying to get at.... Yep, my little baby was chasing tail, hence the thinking of him using force to escape.... Tail gone, Mom calling him from inside, and a very unhappy me running towards him, he saw the logic in jumping back inside...

He was either pissed at me for chasing off his she-Oreo (actually, it's only a guess that it's a she.. but it does look like a little Oreo) or knew he'd done wrong, cuz he wouldn't go near me for about an hour. When I offered my hand for his usual "I'm sorry for hurting you, mama" kiss, he kept turning his head.... He did eventually kiss and make up... I'm still not happy with him, but look at this face and say ya can't forgive him.

I was pretty freaked for most of that hour though.. I was shaking quite a bit. He's my baby. I don't want to lose him. I wish he could roam out on his own, but he just can't here.

I gave him other more tolerable suggestions as to how to give Mom and I heartattacks in the future. I told him he could start talking.. Just start speaking real words or maybe just reciting the alphabet, that'd freak us out but in a good way. Heck, I'll even take the "I'm a being from another wor;d/dimension sent here to observe you weirdos" story. Really, there are much nicer ways to give me a shock.

Okay, the end. Now wasn't that a nice story? K, I'ma go squeeze that brat of mine now.
