My grandmother is, in some ways, a very interesting person

(Well, I think she's interesting anyway, but she's *my* grandmother, so....)

Yesterday, for one reason or another, she neglected to make her bed. And as she got up to head into bed at midnight, she noticed this. "Oh, how could I forget to make my bed? Look at that, and I always like to see a nicely made bed. Why don't you go on the other side and help me out?"

Now, I'm familiar with the argument "Why bother making it if you're just going to mess it up again?", and would normally never use that argument on my beloved grandmother, but all the same I gotta say that I never thought I'd see somebody make their bed mere *seconds* before pulling down the covers and climbing in!

Operation: Convince Bonne-Maman to Take the Cat was unsuccessful. Apparently HER mother used to love cats to the extent that if the cat was in a chair, and there were no other free chairs, you couldn't move the cat to sit down. (Her mother also used to hate the idea of killing and eating her own rabbits, so she'd sell the rabbits she'd raised and then use that money to buy somebody *else's* rabbits to kill and eat. The things I never knew...!) So Bonne-Maman isn't very fond of animals and doesn't want a cat, not even the cutest itty bitty kitty you ever met.

Which means I'm still trying to give him away! Now, he's such a sweetheart I'd be glad to keep this cat, which is why it is imperative that I give him away before I cave and end up keeping him anyway. HELP ME OUT, GUYS!
