1 of two: lions, and tigers, and bears, oh my!

This is the first of two blogs for today, as promised yesterday.

#764 "The muzzle of a lion is like a fingerprint - no two lions have the same pattern of whiskers."

Totally awesomest fact yet. I heart me some lions (well, any cats in general. Remember, would be crazy cat lady without hub?). I wonder if the same is true for house cats. Because my cats are always terrorizing something when we're gone, and then we never have evidence to convict one of them, so we can't take it to jury trial for jail time. But, with muzzle prints we could enter a new, higher percentage of crime catching days in my house. I only have three cats, and Bubbie just lays around a lot so I'm usually 99% sure he wasn't the perpetrator. But that leaves two, sweet little monsters. Who are totally hard to punish because they are oso cute. (oso=bear in spanish. two random facts in one day! And the second didn't even come from Snapple. I'm just blowing your minds with knowledge. I apologize for any mind congestion this may cause.) I'll always remember oso=bear in spanish because of one of the girls in my Spanish 2 class. She said "I remember because the teddy bear is OH SO cute. Get it?" I also know muneca (with the little ~ over the n)=wrist and vaca=cow. But that's about all I got. So if you ever need to say your bear-cow's (or cow-bear) wrist, I'm the woman for you. Actually, probably not. Because I can never remember which comes first, or how to show possession. So if you need someone to just say the words cow, wrist, and bear in a row, I'm your person. Other then that, I'm of no use.
Anyways, back to the convicting of my sweet little angel monsters. It's hard to discipline them because they just look at you with their cute little faces and open their eyes extra big. Like this:

Then I'm all distracted with their cuteness and forget I was lecturing them on the mechanics of water bowls and the concept that water is not meant for the floor or that we don't eat stuff off the floor unless mommy put it there for them to eat or we eat bugs, we don't torture them for 20 minutes then kill them and leave the carcass there because it's no fun anymore.

This is the conversation hub and I had last night.
Me: I am really sick of these 26 songs on my stupid iFan. I wish I could get my songs back.
Hub: Just put all your CDs on the new laptop and sync it that way.
Me: I did that. On the old computer. And it took me 2 months, a least.
Hub: Oh. That sucks.

Gee, honey. Thanks. I know. And, remember, this is all your (and Steve Jobs) fault. And if you're not careful, some of those punishments for Mr. Jobs might happen to you. Especially something involving raptors. Because they are awesome. Or the little chicken raptors like in Lost World. They look all cute and tiny and innocent and then 10,000 eat you. Hub, you should probably sleep with one eye open from now on.
