A Typical Night Until...

Tonight we were relaxing in the family room after dinner. Mommy and daddy were watching American Idol on TV.
Rocco was in the chair with mommy snuggled up as usual. Daddy was stretched out on the couch with his regular five pillows propped up behind him.

I was curled up in my bed in front of the nice warm fire.

A commercial came on the TV. Mommy turned her attention to me all nice & cozy and then said to daddy “I think that reduced fat food is working. It looks like Brownie has lost some weight.” Daddy looked over at me and said “I think you’re right.”

Then Ryan Seacrest came back on. And that was that.

Like a typical kid, I acted like I didn’t hear them, but inside I was smiling 'from ear to ear'.
