I lost my motherloving shit at them this week and I don’t even feel guilty about it.
I was driving between work errands while mentally composing a work email I needed to send ASAP and Thud was rapid-firing questions at me about a fucking building I have no idea about and Pop had been whining one long, continuous whine for about 7 minutes because I’d “forgotten” her dummy.
At the lights I handed her a bottle of water to distract her and she kicked it back at me with such force the water went everywhere, Thud, who hadn’t drawn breath just spoke louder to be heard over the brewing shitstorm, my phone rang with a client who needed their work yesterday and then the car behind me honked because the light was green.
