- It's true! It's true!
- Micio (mee-cho) likes to attack the HAND and ARM monster (the monster
- likes it!), but sometimes Micio's mom gets bitten too hard. I will
- then make that pathetic whimpering sound and he looks at me as if to
- say: "Mom, are you okay?" -- at least that's what my fragile ego
- thought he was saying, but now I realize that it is quite probably
- a statement about my wimpiness! Next time I'll wear my winter gloves
- and he won't think me a wimp anymore!!
