Cat Food

Have you ever had one of those really good conversations with some people where everyone is excited and talking and happy and you're all talking about something interesting where everyone has something to say and everyone shares a common viewpoint and you just feel accepted and loved and like anything you say to these people will be accepted and loved as well? And in the middle of it all you feel like you can tell these people almost anything and they will understand you so you blurt out some comment like "Sometimes I eat cat food..."

...and they all stop talking and stare at you and you realize maaaaybe I should have kept that part of my life hidden, or better yet, maybe that's not something I should have been doing in the first place?

Well, I haven't. But one of my students had that moment yesterday.

Somebody you and I know use to eat cat food when she was younger. I don't know if it was a regular occurance, but I'm pretty sure she did it more than once. She is a really, really smart person. It might just be from eating cat food:)

As a former cat food eater myself, I can feel for the poor kid. I think there was more than one reason my parents got rid of the cat! Crystal, I hope you're talking about me, I'd like to think I'm really, really smart!! :) Do spill the beans, who is it?

I'll be honest, I was more of a dog food eater as a child;)

Apparently a lot of people eat cat food. I've never had a cat, but I probably would have eaten the cat food. Carrie, you are right. I don't think she'll mind that I told. And Shannon, now I know why you are so smart. I should have eaten cat food when I was younger :)

Umm...why does everyone eat food for other animals? That is what I would like to know...
