“Mom! Dad! I'm home!” I walked farther in to the house and heard the tv in the living room playing the news.
“Raiden?!?”My mothers voice yelled out for the other room. A short by very important sound came next. A sound that have been hard wired into Comma’s brain. It was a rustling sound with a muffled tone to it. The doog food being scooped.
Comma took off even on the tiled floor. He bolted!
“Mom! Comma!” I yelled at the last second.
“Wha...” The sound of paws on tiles was multiplied by three as I assume Comma passed Cody and Shy, his mom and dad. The sound was enough to drown out the sound of my mom.
Then after that a new noise came and it drowned out both my mother and the dog paws. I walked in just in time to see it all go to hell. The dogs hit the bag, the boles, and my mom all at once. Metal dog dishes and dog food hitting the floor with a clash.
“Oh no.” Thats all Dot and I could say.
The dos had the food cleaned up in under five minutes. and i got the rang and mopped the puddle from the water boles.
“Sorry mom.” Thats the best I could do after my dog destroyed the kitchen floor bacicily.
“Its ok sweetie. So whats Comma doing here?” My mom asked
“Oh yah! I was going to see if you could watch him for the day so me and Dot can go to the found town fair tonight.”
“Well that explains the monkey suit” I turned to see my Father standing there in the doorway.
“Yah. Wait. Hay!” I tip my hat at him.
“You dork” My dads biggest default name when I do something stupid
“Ummm. I'm not a whale penis.” I replied. Theres an inside joke with my friends about how his little sister actually googled dork and stuff came up about how it was a term for a whale penis.
“Whatever.” He replied.
“I think he looks like his great grandfather Cheshire.” My mother said patting the hat over my head.
“Not with a big hat like that!” My dad took the hat from me and threw it on the table.
My dad led me up stars as mom and Dot talked about Dot’s dress. We went to the family room closet. Dad picked up the black top hat from the main pedestal and flicked some gold looking glider. It was black with a bright green ribbon on it.
“Try it on.” He plopped it on my head and it fit perfectly. “Well! so you are a size ten sixths!”
I turned around and looked in the gold dragon mirror and it fit just right and matched the cane.
“Thanks dad!” I gave my father a big hug and started for the stairs.
“Be careful with it ok Ray?”He said to me with a stern voice.
I don't know the story about this hat, but I know its be in my family for years. My Great grand father is never talked about enny were excpt around my grandpa leo. He tells me stories about all the cool expensive thing my family owns, I don't get how a marble and a cloth spider can be expensive tho. I always say the story s are stupid but then end up sitting on the floor or the couch listening to stories about the witches and the millions of artifacts that came about in my great grandpa’s time, But the story is about the day he met god and fell in love with a witch named jupiter.
My grandpa says its all real but I know hes just a great story teller.
I went to the kitchen and my mom had dusted off an old parcel for Dot to use and helped her with a bit more make up.
