My friend’s son is very allergic to cats, so when they come to the beach we try to keep him out of our house. However, like most children, he simply loves cats, and all he wants to do is see Alex.

.

“Where is Alex the cat?” he asked as he peered through the sliding glass, deck doors.

.

“I think he is sleeping,” I replied.

.

“No he’s not! I see him!!!” He said excitedly as he spotted Alex on sofa, looking directly at us. “He is such a cutie pie!” the little boy continued.

.

Alex tired of looking at us, and instead turned to face the front of the house where my husband, Marc was throwing out the garbage.

.

“What is Alex looking at now?” he asked.

.

“His daddy…”

.

“Who is his daddy,” he asked.

.

“Who do you think?”

.

Excitedly he replied, “Marc!”

.

“Yes, Marc is his dad.”

.

“Are you his mom?”

.

“Yes, I am his mom.”

.

“Hmm,” he relied as his face got all pensive and serious looking. “If you are the mom, and Marc is the dad, can I be Alex the cat’s Grandpa?”
