Mama Mia Chronicles

I get a call from the school nurse this morning, the kids JUST got to school. Let me give you some background on our mornings event.

I was taking the kids to the bus stop and as we walk down the stairs the cat (MIL'S) was back towards us so when I looked or shall I say we all looked and the cat had a chipmunk in his mouth just head and arms the back side was still out and VERY much fighting for it's life! So I put H down and start to kick and swat at the cat to let the thing go and the darn cat ran under the deck. SOOO E is white and is just horrified and speachless, P is saying OHHH the poor chipmunk and H is still walking towards the bus stop all of a sudden E is sobbing so hard. I'm trying to explain basically as said on nemo , "fish gotta swim, birds gotta eat" (but did not use that metaphor) so she is crying on and off, she tells me that it's just aweful. The bus comes she seemed fine.

Well I just got a call that she is crying and they wanted to let me know and all they can get out of her is the cat ate her pet chipmunk, it is not her pet by any means but she is the "animal fairy" so all the animals are her pet and she loves them lol. So I tell the nurse the story and she is like oh I see and is trying to be very serious so she asked if she can speak to her about how animals need to eat smaller ones sometime to survive ect so I'm like sure. So she tells me she will call if she can't get her to settle down. fine. I just knew this was going to ruin her day she is such a animal lover and I hated that they had to see it but really it is part of life.

PS- she said we feed Smokey why does he need to eat other animals lol. She is way to young to understand instinct.
