Ella Interviews the Girl
The girl keeps going on about how she’s writing that homeschooling book, so I decided to interview her about it.
Ella: So I understand you’re writing a book about homeschooling?
Girl: Yes, I’ve been working on it since last February, although I only started doing really concentrated work on it in May. It’s due this coming June.
Ella: Why do you only feed me three times a day?
Girl: What? Um, well, you know, that’s really plenty….
Ella: Yeah, I don’t think so.
Girl: The vet says…
Ella: Oh, “The vet says.” What does the vet know?
Girl: But…
Ella: Whatever. Back to your book. Do you really work on it? Because it just looks like you spend all your time sitting around to me.
Girl: Well, writing isn’t really the sort of thing you do while jogging, is it?
Ella: You don’t let me sleep on your keyboard.
Girl: I know, because then I can’t type.
Ella: The laptop’s warm. I like it.
Girl: You get hair all over it.
Ella: I get hair on it? What about the kitten?
Girl: He’s afraid of the laptop.
Ella: I see you looking at kittens online.
Girl: It’s just Cute Overload.
Ella: Aren’t I good enough for you?
Girl: Well, you know, I just like to look at the kittens. They’re so cute.
Ella: Yeah, right. Cute.
Girl: It doesn’t mean anything.
Ella: …
Girl: I mean, I’m not going to go out and get one or anything.
Ella: …
Girl: Do you want a treat? Here, let me get you a treat.
Ella: [crunching] Well, I guess that about sums it up for the book. Is it time for dinner yet?
Girl: You just ate a half-hour ago….

The video of the kitten 3/4 of the way down was the ultimate.

Awww! Nice to meet you, Ella. My kitty sits on the laptop also, though she purrfers to sit atop the television. She's Holly and she has shiny black fur
