My newly impassioned cat

Perhaps you've read my last 2 posts, about cats and about "Roll Away Your Stone". Now, Nathan has combined them.

Boy, does he get stuck on a topic! Cats are always a favorite, and substituting the word "cat" for other words is always a fun game. He was really wanting me to sing "You Are My Catshine", pretty much constantly, substituting the word cat for any handy noun, regardless of whether the result makes any sense. "You told me once, cat", he'd ask, wanting that third verse over and over, and finding the line "you have shattered all my cats" especially funny.

Then the cats got forgotten for a minute. Nathan became obsessed with the Mumford and Sons song "Roll Away Your Stone". He sang it in his sleep and woke up singing it. He asked for it all day long. I was actually kind of happy about the change of focus. It wasn't about cats. And it gave me something new to do; I got to learn the lyrics to a new song. That was all fine until "Roll Away Your Cat" happened. The new fun thing around here is to substitute the word cat for a heck of a lot of words to "Roll Away Your Stone". "And sooooo I'll be found/ with my cat stuck in the ground/ marking the territory of/ my newly impassioned caaaaaaat". Or, in Nathan's terms, "new passion passion caaaaat". Yes, indeed, the enthusiasm for all things cat is newly impassioned. *Sigh*
