• The weird thing about the "you're selfish" argument is that sometimes the person making the accusation is himself being selfish.

  For example:

  

  

  

  

  

  And freeze.

  I can understand Walnut's rationale for calling Turnip selfish. They both like canned cat food, but she won't get to eat any because her brother ate most of it. The way Walnut sees it, Turnip should have taken her into consideration before devouring the entire can of "Friskies"--especially when it was the "Turkey and Giblets Dinner" flavor!

  But...isn't Walnut's basis for calling Turnip selfish also somewhat selfish? She was upset that he didn't leave enough canned food--not for Pepper or me--but for her. As in herself. As in selfish.

  ...Right? Kind of?

  Anyway, because I can't leave this on a cliffhanger, here is the rest of the story:

  

  Note: I don't know why, but Turnip always wakes up in the middle of the night and starts acting crazy. He knocks things off my desk, chews my wires, and jumps on my stomach while I'm trying to sleep. I seriously think he does it on purpose because he knows I'll end up buying his good behavior with canned cat food.

  

  

  This would never happen in real life though because (1) Turnip and Walnut have their own food dishes, and (2) cats can't talk.
