I should really have the house wired ...

I miss so many fun things that Norah says, or I hear them but then forget them later. This morning, for instance, she strolls up to me.

"Daddy, it smells like dirt in here," says the lass.

"What do you want me to do about it?" says I.

"Clean up the stink!" says the logical Ms. Norah.

She meant that the litter boxes smelled a bit. Considering I had just cleaned them, I guess she could smell the litter and the deodorizer I use, and as I had just stirred it all up, perhaps the odor was a bit stronger. But at least it didn't smell like cat poop!

Clean up the stink, indeed. If only that advice were so easy in the real world!!!!
