trains and fun

it's getting to be christmas time again, and eric has taken out his toy train set to put around our tree. while my adopted brother punch is busy attacking the tree, i have taken to destroying the trains while they are running around the track.

it's funny, because i don't find them all that menacing - i don't even mistake them for mice. i just like the way it feels when i knock the train off the track, and watch it roll over. of course, then my fun is through, until eric decides to put the train on the track again and let it run around. i carefully watch it, because i know i only get once chance - if i miss, then eric will shoo me away, and i won't get to play anymore.

so i get ready to pounce, and as the train comes around the bend, i take one little jump, and bat the train with my paw. oh, the satisfactory sound of a derailed toy train! i wish the trains would stay out all year, and not just come out in december.
