6:40 a.m. I was running late. My wife left very early for work and she set the alarm for me to wake the children for school. Now, I’ll wake up to an alarm that plays music but beeping/honking alarms don’t wake me up. Kinda’ weird, I know.
I normally wake up the kids at 6:30 a.m. but I incorporated the beeping alarm into my dreams for about ten minutes before I realized I wasn’t involved in a nuclear reactor meltdown or being chased by a honking Bigfoot. I was just late.

I loved your story on the National Catholic Register, but I had some trouble posting a comment on it. There seemed to be some issue with the CAPTCHA, and despite a few attempts, I could not post.
Still, I really laughed my tail off. It was something I really needed today!

Am I the only one shocked that this wasn't a story about today being Dr. Seuss' birthday? I thought we were getting a great story about the cat balancing your goldfish on an umbrella.
I read the whole thing and it just never happened…

No house is complete without a cat. Of course, the kids are the main point, but the cat is the icing on the cake. I think your story demonstrates that point perfectly.
