The missing sippy cup

Mommy is searching frantically.

Daddy's ready to give up.

I can't believe how diabolically

It is to hide a sippy cup.


Is it on the bike rack

Or behind the iced tea?

Uh oh, time for a snack.

Now, I'm feeling thirsty.


Mommy is running all about, looking quite sweaty with her face bright red.  "Where is it!?"

I don't know!"  Daddy slumps his shoulders and looks this way and that.  He taps a fallen pillow with his toe.  I guess he thinks that will somehow help?

And where am I?

Simply sitting in the middle of the living room floor, sniffling and pouting from a lack of a sippy cup.  My favorite sippy cup.

Oh, heavens!  Don't worry.

I know right where it is.

But I had a rough sleep last night and am not feeling up to my normal diabolical delights.  I don't have the energy for tricking Mommy and Daddy into being smacked and Agent West hasn't finished my new fart teddy yet.

Who knew that hiding a sippy cup could be just as diabolical as one of Agent Chase's mastermind plans?

Ooh, time to up the sniffles.

I sniffle.  I snort.  I pout not once but twice.

"Hurry!"  Mommy screams and takes off at a sprint to somewhere.  "She's gonna wail at any second."

"What if we just feed her a snack?"

Hmmm...

I am feeling kinda hungry.

Especially for some peanut butter crackers.  But, if you give a baby some peanut butter, she'll want to chase it down with some milk.

"Without her sippy cup!?  She'll refuse to eat a thing!  You'll have to run to the store for another one first."

Ugh.  That'll take too long and my tummy is already rumbling.  

With an "oomph" and a push, I stand right up.  A little wobbly at first, but I stable myself.

While Mommy and Daddy keep running about, I walk my way over to the big vase on the shelf.  It takes some effort to crawl up the chair, but soon enough I'm up there and reaching into the huge ceramic thing.

"Couldn't we try..."

"No, we can't..."

Mommy and Daddy stop when they get into the living room.  Both of them staring at me, sitting in the chair and sipping from my sippy cup with glee.

Daddy's jaw falls open and he looks like he might fall down.  Mommy, though, is standing perfectly up right, twitching and blinking like a bomb about to go off.

I like being a diabolical sweetie.

Diabolical cabbage and beans

 As Logged By: Agent Chase With   The Puppy The Puppy was right, I admit There was no way to go through with it. Getting everyone to eat cabbage and beans Would have been impossible, by all means. However, we’ve devised another plan. In this temporary truce between dog and man. The Puppy has many friends, you see. Who are willing to eat cabbage and beans, whoo wee!     For weeks I have been saving every scrap of Mommy’s famous cabbage and beans dish, keeping none for myself.  (Not that I want any after the last gas catastrophe.) The toy bin is filled to the rim and it’s starting to smell, but the Puppy reassures me that his friends will still dig in. “Oh, Marge, this was a wonderful idea,” one of Mommy’s friends says as she waves her hand around. “A block party for everyone and their dog. How did you think of it?” “It’s the funniest thing. I saw Chase playing with a magazine that happened to have an article about thro...

 As Logged By: Agent Rose Please! Don’t mention eating. Not after Agent Chase’s stink infested beating. Cabbage and beans! Were there no other ways? The stink never ended for days and days! My tummy is tumbling and swirling. I fear anything I eat, I’ll end up hurling. But, I do love being a sweetie that’s diabolical. Especially, when I can do something so maniacal!     Agent Chase is going to get a stink bomb in the face! Joining with the Puppy!? Of all the diabolical schemes. She should have known that teaming up with the Puppy would make her diabolical plans explode. “Okay, Rosie. Time for some dinner.” Dinner? No way! My tummy is still too tender for any dinner. “Come on, Sweetie. You need to eat or you’ll get grumpy.” I stare at Daddy with the angriest of angry faces. Grumpy!? Does he have any idea what horrors I’ve been through? Just thinking of it makes my tummy tumble some more. The stink...

Diabolically stealing my leftovers

 As Logged By: Agent West I could have sworn there was more stew With delicious beef that cleared my blues. But when Mommy opened the fridge There was none for me to binge! What about a grilled cheese? Smashed, loaded, and coated to please. Is there any more of that? Or is Mommy sneaking some in her hat?     Oh, the hunger pains. The growling tummy, the rumbling stomach. If I don’t eat soon, the gas will come forth. Not the funny toots in Mommy’s face gas, either. But, painful, stuck in your tummy and refusing to come out or budge gas that can only be cured with chamomile tea. Agent Rose may love it, but I’m a diabolical dude! I want my beef stew! Where is it, Mommy? Don’t make me beg. Don’t make me cry. Don’t make me let out a toot that’ll knock your socks to the moon! “Are you hungry, West?” Mommy coos, completely oblivious to the hungry beast about to be unleashed. “Ah!” I let out as a warning and point ...
