From the last MMP:

Yeah, I tried to impose that rule when I got Monks.

Nikki was, as m’Other Shoe called her, a “four on the floor” creature. Something as high as a kitchen countertop? B!tch, please. Ain’t gonna happen.

So I got a bit spoiled.

Then the whirlwind Tasmanian devil that was this adolescent black panther came home with me, and I tried to enforce rules. The “no counter” thing went literally out the window (there are birds outside! Like, right there! BIRDS you human fool!) it was like arguing with the wind.

ETA: @susan I know what I’d choose. It starts with an “H” and rhymes with “ammock.”
