Brrrrrrriiiiinnnngggggg! Brrrrrrriiiiinnnngggggg! Brrrrrrriiiiinnnngggggg!
Donor: No one seems to be answering! I guess we’ll have to call back later.
Charlene: KITTENS???? Hello, Dearborns??? Who’s manning the phones now?
(small kitten voice) Psssst…..It’s Geraldine’s shift, but she’s texting again!
Charlene: G E R A L D I N E ! ! ! !
Geraldine: Huh? What? What’d I do???
Charlene: Girl, you have to jump on that phone as soon as it rings! People are calling with their contributions to the Dogathon. We can’t make them wait!
Charlene: Okay, maybe you misunderstood what I meant by “jumping on the phone.” Calm down, honey, I’m not angry with you. I know you have so much to say and lots and lots of friends.
Geraldine: I think I’ve got the hang of it now, Charlene. I’m sorry to be texting and Tweeting when I should have been on the phones. It’s back to work now! Here comes another call!
Brrrrrrrrrrrrrriiiiiiiiiiiinnnnng.
Geraldine: Hello, this is Itty Bitty Kitty Committee Telethon Headquarters – Geraldine speaking! I’d be happy to take your pledge now! Oh, you’ll be giving $25? Thank you very much! The Humane Society will put it to good use for the kitties. Have a nice day!
Geraldine: :::::ducking under desk::::::: Just one more Tweet and I have to update my Facebook page and then I have to get back to Sheldon about changing shifts with him and I meant to text Marla about that sparkleball flea market on Saturday….
Charlene: Oh, Geraldine. You’re the world’s best social networker!!
Thanks for the laugh, "Kathryn"!

ReplyDeleteMy kits would like to hear more about said "sparkleball flea market" on Saturday.
ReplyDelete))Smiles((
ReplyDeleteA story about BOTH Charlene and Geraldine (sweet IBK!) Who can resist?
Tooooo cute!!
ReplyDeleteI want to talk to Geraldine! Is she still working her shift?
ReplyDeleteLove the tiny Iphone!
ReplyDeleteWhen I saw that first picture of Charlene asking who was supposed to be answering the phone, I found myself wanting to yell, "YES DRILL SERGEANT!!" She frightened me! ;)
ReplyDeleteHee hee hee! Text me Geraldine!!
ReplyDeleteShe just texted me "Purrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr".
ReplyDelete@Cynthia - isn't that "YES DRILL BEAN!!!"
ReplyDeleteBean's got teef!!!
I want to know who ratted Geraldine out? Sheldon? Pearla?
ReplyDeleteKatBoxJanitor -- I was so unnerved by the teeth that I forgot! Yes, it's "YES DRILL BEAN!" Thanks.
ReplyDeleteOh boy, yes, I would *never* want to make the Bean angry with me! ***shudders***
ReplyDelete(Although, Geraldine is such a little cutie, I see why the Bean softened up a bit there!)
LOVE love love the photo-story. Kathryn Litterio, your brilliance at this kind of thing matches Lauries. Maybe you two could collaborate on a whole book full of such cat/ kitten stories. I would be the first to pre-order at least 3 copies! :)
