Mia rolled around on the floor and played out how cute she is when her Mom tossed her boa toy on top of her. What Mia didn’t realize was that Dukee walked up behind and watched her. After Mia kicked the toy off of her, she rolled over and saw Dukee sitting there. Mia stared at Dukee for a few seconds and then rolled onto her back. Dukee looked at Mia while she was upside down and then walked around her.
When Mom got up to go to the other room, Mia quickly jumped up. Before Mom even got to the other room, Mia ran as fast as she could down the hallway past her. This made Dukee quickly look back to see what was going on. He then figured out that Mia was just trying to beat her mom to the other room. So, Dukee jumped up onto the side table and walked to the other end of it. He sat down and looked out the front window. It sure looks like it’s going to rain today, Dukee thought.
Only a minute or two went by when Mia again, ran as fast as she could. She ran through the family room, down the hallway, and into the front living room. When Mia jumped up onto the kitty tower and stopped, Dukee looked at her.
“Are you having fun?” Dukee asked.
“Yes, are you?” Mia tried to catch her breath.
“Yes, but I’d have more fun if you’d let me chase you,” Dukee said.
“Maybe later. I’m out of breath right now,” Mia looked out the window.
Dukee sighed and looked back out the window.
“Did you know that today is Father’s day?” Dukee asked.
“Is that like Mother’s day?” Mia looked at Dukee.
“Yes, accept most of the focus is on the dad’s and not the mom’s,” Dukee said.
“But what happens if someone doesn’t have a dad?” Mia asked.
“Well… I guess they wouldn’t celebrate it,” Dukee looked at Mia.
“But what if someone has another dad-like figure in their life who is good to them?” Mia asked.
“Oh, yes, that could work,” Dukee said.
Mia and Dukee looked out the window and watched while a man walked down the street with his two dogs.
“Happy father’s day,” Mia said.
“You know that he can’t hear you right?” Dukee looked at Mia.
“Yes, but I wished it anyway,” Mia said.
Dukee and Mia heard Mom walking down the hallway so they stopped talking. When Mom walked into the living room and sat back down, Mia hopped down and trotted over to her. Mia rubbed her body on her mom’s leg and thought, I’ll celebrate having my Mom anytime.
Happy Father’s Day to all father’s and father-like figures out there. May God bless you all.
