You Were a Superb Cat, Wubie
Yesterday we said goodbye to a great friend member of our family. We miss you deeply, Wubie.

Wubie Gets in a Carrying Case that Floats into the Sky
Lucy: “Daddy, lie down and pretend you’re at French Fry town.”
Daddy: “OK.”
Lucy: “Welcome to French Fry town. Can I take your order?”
Daddy: “I’d like some…french fries!”
Lucy: “We’re all out of any of the good stuff.”
Daddy: “Oh…well, what do you have?”
Lucy: “Ummm….mushrooms.”
— Playing with Lucy
Lucy is always asking us to tell her “make up stories”, tales where she comes up with a scenario and we provide a fitting story. The stories always seem to feature our cat, Wubie.
So yesterday when the kid asked for a story I decided to grab my microphone and hit ‘record’.
“Okay, what do you want to hear?” I asked.
“Wubie gets in a carrying case that floats into the sky and Bundle chases it in her rocketship” she answered.
Instead of asking her what a carrying case was, I just thought “brown paper grocery bag” and told her a story. Afterwards, I dumped the recording into GarageBand and added a few foley-ish sound effects to the beginning. (I originally planned to add sound effects to the whole story, but decided it would take too long.) I had so much fun making it that I now have plans for a more polished recording, with an actual fleshed out story to start with and better overall sound quality. I think that’d be kinda neat. Anyway, here’s Lucy’s story:

Another ‘Growing Up’ Post
Here are a few more pics to show how the kid (and us) have changed over the last two years and ten months.
Lucy always gets a twinkle in her eye when we tell her, “Wubie used to be bigger then you. Now look!” (though something tells me Wubie doesn’t get the same sense of glee from this observation.)
