Yes, but not the car.

Not until you show me your driver’s license.

Bring it back full.

Please ! …. Please !

Is this a sneaky way to get him to give up driving?

I don’t think puppy dog eyes are going to work this time.

I’ll give you the keys to the car as long as you’re back before I lock the door for the night!

The REAL Steve would let them do it.

The squirrel took off with the motorcycle!

You’re not old enough to drive.

Somehow I don’t think either one of them is of driving age, much less a license for when the police do pull them over.

Shedding all over the upholstery is suddenly their top priority.

Nice metaphor for teen-age behavior

They may have to be the designated driver.

It’s the little old Kitty from Pasadena

The little old Kitty from Pasadena

(Go Kitty, go Kitty, go Kitty, go)

Has a pretty litter box that smells of white gardenias

(Go Kitty, go Kitty, go Kitty, go)

But parked in a rickety old garage

There’s a brand new shiny red super stock Dodge

And everybody’s sayin’ that there’s nobody meaner than

The little old Kitty from Pasadena

She drives real fast and she drives real hard

She’s the terror of Colorado boulevard

It’s the little old Kitty from Pasadena

If you see her on the strip, don’t try to choose her

(Go Kitty, go Kitty, go Kitty, go)

You might drive a go-er, but you’ll never lose her

(Go Kitty, go Kitty, go Kitty, go)

Well, she’s gonna get a ticket now, sooner or later

‘Cause she can’t keep her paw off the accelerator

And everybody’s sayin’ that there’s nobody meaner than

The Little Old Kitty From Pasadena

She drives real fast and she drives real hard

She’s the terror of Colorado Boulevard

It’s the little old Kitty from Pasadena

You can catch her all the time, just gettin’ her kicks now

(Go Kitty, go Kitty, go Kitty, go)

With her four speed stick and a four-two-six now

(Go Kitty, go Kitty, go Kitty, go)

The guys come to race her from miles around

But she’ll give ‘em a length, then she’ll shut ’em down

And everybody’s sayin’ that there’s nobody meaner than

The little old Kitty from Pasadena

She drives real fast and she drives real hard

She’s the terror of Colorado boulevard

It’s the little old Kitty from Pasadena

Go Kitty, go Kitty, go Kitty, go (come on Kitty, go)

Go Kitty, go Kitty, go Kitty, go (come on Kitty, go)

Go Kitty, go Kitty, go Kitty, go (come on Kitty, go)

Go Kitty, go Kitty, go Kitty, go (come on Kitty, go)

Go Kitty, go Kitty, go Kitty, go (come on Kitty, go)

Go Kitty, go Kitty, go Kitty, go (come on Kitty, go)

Go Kitty, go Kitty

Go ahead, what could possibly go wrong?

I wouldn’t if I were you; I don’t think either of them could reach the pedals.

I made up some new family traditions for my daughter when she was young. They would just happen. Some of her holiday presents would have tags on them from our pets. She asked me how they got the presents, as they could not drive. I said once a year, there is magic, and the cats and dogs and hamsters can get together and drive a car for Christmas shopping. She asked some questions, I made up answers, and she accepted the magic. I asked once recently if she will tell her children the same, and she said yes.

…can we, please – big questionmark!!

Is that Steve Martin? If so I’d worry about that cat.

Whoa! What’s in that wine?

Cat’s in the Cradle…What I’d really like, dad, is to borrow the car keys. See you later, can I have them please?

This afternoon, ‘bout 3, our senior(in pack rank) dog, whose unofficial job is Assistant to Husband and whose unofficial name is Mr. BusyPants, came in looking anxious and planted himself in front of me. I looked at the clock, looked at him and said, "You want me to go tell [husband} it’s time for your out?" He immediately headed off for my husband’s (home) office, turning around twice to make sure I was making good on the offer (it takes me a bit to rise from a chair). When I got to the office he was dutifully planted in front of the door along with junior dog. He always does that when he can’t get my husband’s attention. They have us well-trained.
