Cheer Up Katers!

I wrote this short story below to help cheer up my wife when she was feeling down. My wife knows she can count on me to lift her mood by saying just the right words to pull her up by the heart strings.
Read on to have your heart warmed and your spirits lifted. All you need to do is believe!

“I made you to serve me food! Why am I still hungry?!”, nine year old Jimmy yelled at the small stack of blocks with an orange play doh head full of hair and a sharpie smile. “Why do you taunt me so?!” He yelled as he threw his arm across the failed food-bot’s body causing the block with its ‘head’ and hair to go flying through the air and straight into the garbage can. “Sweet! At least I got some enjoyment out of you, you old play doh poopy head!” Jimmy snorted in delight.

“Jimmy, what are you snorting about, what did you do this time?” Jimmy’s mother leaned away from the stove she was cooking Jimmy’s dinner with concerned about her son’s snorting, usually about mean hearted things, like kicking clowns or booing those up at bat on his own wiffleball team - so sad, she thought to herself.

“Nothing Mom! When’s dinner going to be ready? I’m starving.” Jimmy shouted from the other room.

“It’s just about ready, and I think you’re going to like dinner tonight,” she replied.

“Oh yea, why’s that Mom? Did you make it with your ‘secret’ ingredient, the secret ingredient everyone knows is really love… which is really just another way of saying something flavorless has been added to something already flavorless?”

“Oh! You a smart cookie, you know that Jimmy! A real smart cookie!” Jimmy smiled, thinking he’s all that. “Keep it up and you won’t have to worry about having flavorless food, you won’t have any dinner.”

“Oh Mom, you can’t NOT feed me, I’m your son!”

“No! I’m your ‘failed’ food-bot, and its time to eat!!” Jimmy’s ‘mother’ turned around to face him and her face was a large block of wood with a sharpie smile and she slammed down an orange haired play doh food-bot head on a plate as all the lights in the house flashed and burned out all at once!

**pitch black**

Jimmy wakes up to a bright and beautiful foggy day, a Katers day.
