After telling the story of my silly dream to two people today.. I was told that I HAD to post this because it was entirely too goofy not to let other people hear it. So.. here it is. (this was previously an IM conversation but I removed the names.. so its a bit choppy and with my usual mind-numbing lack of proper grammar and half assed punctuation)
Some local knitter friends and I were getting on a train to go to MDSW and we’re standing in line to get on the train and we all have our knitting. The man who is taking the tickets is all “are you SURE y’all want to bring YARN on THIS train?” We’re like.. “um.. yeah..” and he says.. “ok.. well good luck with that” and lets us on board.. There are business people in suits with laptops.. and other folks..
We sit down and start knitting and chatting. After a while the train starts moving and the announcer comes on and says “HERE THEY COME” or something.. (I can’t remember what it was exactly..) and there is this strange sound from the back of the train.
All of a sudden.. there’s like eleventy million kittens in the train and everyone is playing with kittens and petting them.. and rolling on the floor… and this goes on for a while.. hours even..
When we reach Maryland the train workers come through and round up the kittens and they’re like.. whisked away to the back of the train. The business people pull out lint rollers.. and roll the fur off of their clothes.. and straighten their ties and get off the train like nothing ever happened…
and we’re left sitting there like.. WTF?
When I go to get off of the train.. we’re AT MDSW.. (which is impossible.. but.. you know.. its a dream) and I’m like.. I HAVE to tell RABBITCH about the Kitten Train!!!
… and then I wake up because the phone was ringing. It was one of those weird birthday club call things for the toy store with the giraffe.. and I tell my husband… “ Dude.. I had to get off the Kitten Train for THAT?”
(and he looks at me like I just suggested that we go play with plague rats)
And THAT folks… is how I started my day.
