Losing Olivia last December not only left a big hole in our hearts, it left Colehaus without a roving reporter of infractions. Nary a day went by without Olivia sitting patiently nearby at some point which alerted us to someone doing something somewhere they weren’t supposed to be doing.
Viola lately lets us know her displeasure at seeing Tessa getting away with something Tessa knows darn well she shouldn’t be doing. But Viola’s no saint either. Lately, they’ve taken to pointing out the misdeeds of the other and we’ve just begun to take notice.
Take Tessa here. She’s on the kitchen table, a place that’s forbidden to all cats. No one wants to eat where a cat sat their butt. We wouldn’t let Quint get away with it and he’s a near perfect cat and owner of what may well be the cleanest behind this side of the Rockies!
Get down, Tessa, Viola seemed to say . . . while she alternated between glaring at her sister and chewing the purple mesh bag a cooking shallot came in.
Viola, were you just chewing on that mesh bag? No, little girl! Get down from there! And then Mom moved the mesh shallot bag into the refrigerator because we now have one.
But Mom, my sister is ruining something!
Oh, you mean that chair cover that you already shredded? Tessa! You don’t need to make it worse! Stop it!
The chair covers are made of cheap stretchy fabric and cost us near nothing. Still, both girls seem to like making biscuits on the fabric and sometimes, they get a little too rambunctious about it.
Okay, Viola, stop tattling on your sis . . . Viola! Stop right this minute!
And before Mom could react, Viola whapped that Rainier cherry right off the plate, down onto the floor, and you know where it just had to roll, right? Right under the new refrigerator. Sigh.
