Auction

Latino and I recently attended the Saintly City Cat Show as part of the Saint Paul Winter Carnival. Despite his endless claims that he does not in fact like cats, he did not object to going. He did, however, object to the $4 entrance fee. "Who would pay to see cats?!!!" As I suspected, it turns out that thousands of people do indeed pay to see cats. Lots of very interesting people pay to see cats.

Latino always seeks new tricks to play on Lucy and Sasha. It came as no surprise that he was inspired at the cat show. Latino is not an auctioneer by trade. That did not stop him from running his own little mock auction last week. What was he trying to auction off?

Sasha.

He had seen the cat judges at the cat show holding up the cats one at a time with their bodies stretched in an extended position to examine them. Latino held Sasha up in the way he had seen demonstrated at the show. Somehow this prompted him to feel like an auctioneer.

"$1? Can I get $1 for her?"

"How about $2? Anyone?"

"$3? $3? Sold!!!!"

With that Latino put her down and walked into the kitchen. She followed him, acting like the little duckling that she is. He said, "Why are you following me? I sold you already!"

I wouldn't be surprised if he started to charge admission for people to come see her.
