Dixie Wants Own Bathroom, Charlie Wonders If He Should Give Bird A What-For

Dear Lucy,

When do I get my own bathroom?

Love,

Dixie

Dixie,

To put this delicately, it's simply a matter of output, or "productivity" as I like to call it. The more productive you are in your current bathroom, the more inclined your mother will be to get you your own bathroom. Your mother doesn' t like cleaning the litterbox, and those mechanical ones are expensive. But if you make it cost-effective enough for her to get one, you'll surely have your own bathroom in no time!

Love,

Lucy

Dear Lucy,

What do you think the chances are I could perform a cat-like jump from my 3rd-story balcony to the tree 20 feet away so that I can catch that pesky little bird that always taunts me?

Charlie

Charlie,

As a good-faith advice-blogger I cannot encourage you to make this jump. All I can tell you is that you need to control your anger before it controls you! That little bird is no match for you, and you don't need to risk your own safety just to teach it a lesson. The little bird has probably has a bit of a Napoleon complex and taunting you makes him feel better about himself. He really doesn't know who he's messing with! You can distract yourself by taking a nice long bath or tearing a few laps around the house. By then your anger will have subsided and you won't have put yourself in harm's way just to show up some little idiot bird. He's not worth it, Charlie!

Love,

Lucy
