snapshot

A few minutes ago the conversation went like this:


Mum: Wow, there's a sparrowhawk sitting on the garden fence.

Mojo: Wow, Mum is eating a chicken and ham slice.

Mum: (grabbing camera) If I get to the other window I might be able to catch a photo.

Mojo: (grabbing pie) Mmmm nom nom nom

Mum: NO! BAD GIRL!

Mojo: Why don't you swap out the 70mm lens for the 300mm one?

Mum: Good idea.

Mojo: nom nom nom

Mum: OY!!!

Mojo: I was only cleaning up the crumbs I dropped the first time.

Mum: Aw, now look - the bird's gone.

Mojo: Still a bit of pie left. You won't want it now it's got fluff from the floor stuck to it.

Mum: Want a bet?

Mojo: Anyway, that's a really blurry shot.

Mum: That's because I was shooting through a window covered in dog nose marks.

Mojo: Blame me for everything, why don't you? Just because I chased that pheasant across the field this morning, and yeah, OK, I did run off and swim a stream the other day to chase a deer, but it was running off anyway, and sure, I've dug all the stuffing out of the futon again and I can't help it if my puppy farts are so evil you want to get out of the car and let me drive myself home. But you're just having a bad photography day and it's not my fault.

Mum: (sigh) I know. And you're so cute.

  2. You're sure smart to grab your chances for free food, Mojo! I get forgiven all the time for the very same reason - being too cute! I hope we stay cute forever, right?!

    Yer friend and secret admirer,

  4. Sounds like your mum should have cleaned the window before taking the shot. It's not your fault that she didn't do that.

    The ham & chicken slice sounds good. Glad you got to enjoy it.

  5. Dear Mojo,
    Oh my gosh, I see Mitch is now trying to take over as your secret admirer! That's some stiff competition I know - he's one handsome little dude, I have to admit!
    I can imagine you have a lot of admirers, even though you like to roll in mud and dead animals... not to mention the whole farting thing. What is it about you? You simply have the absolute cutest face and because of that can get away with just about anything and charm just about anyone it seems. You have me in your trance, that's for sure.
    I love you, my little Mojo cutie-pie!
    Your Secret Admirer

  13. Oh Mojo! I admit I am a food thief extraordinaire, but it's bad form to do it from right under their noses! You need to wait until the humans are wll out of the way, then it's entirely possible that a huge mouse or one of the cats pinched the food.
