Just as I was finding these mortal children desperately wearisome, I had a new student today. Her name is Calliope. She told me that her father loved "the Classics". Have you ever heard a six year-old solemnly tell you about "the Classics"? It is simply charming. She told me that they have a cat at home, whose name is Apollo. More and more ( Read more... )

"Demanding Tomcat."

I like it.

I didn't go into all the details of how, like any cat, he believed that he owned the sisters when, in fact, they owned him.

sunshnesongster February 9 2011, 10:40:23 UTC

Is that right?

calliopic February 9 2011, 10:54:18 UTC

Entirely right. It's okay though. He always gets the cream.

That is adorable. You should tell her how all those sisters cared for each other and defended each other against anyone who tried to hurt them.

Next time, I shall tell her of them. Though I don't know what I'll say if her father comes in demanding to know why his little girl suddenly wants eight little sisters. I will maintain that he brought it on himself. Every Calliope needs her eight.

There is a lot of the world to inspire, even someone as amazing as a Calliope needs help.

calliopic February 9 2011, 10:55:38 UTC

Calliope could not be amazing without her sisters.

Yes, every Calliope does need her eight. And they need her! And yes, demanding tomcat does sound remarkably like our dear Apollo.

calliopic February 9 2011, 13:50:25 UTC

There are so many resemblances to a tomcat, it's remarkable, really.

delightindance February 9 2011, 20:23:28 UTC

All the stalking around when he's cranky.

calliopic February 12 2011, 21:32:38 UTC

Yes! He does stalk, doesn't he?

Hey, I'm happy. :P

calliopic February 9 2011, 10:43:18 UTC

Good! I simply don't want to deprive you of the chance for tragedy, darling.

inspiredvoice February 9 2011, 17:05:23 UTC

Tragedy makes me happy. It's a win win there.

calliopic February 9 2011, 17:52:51 UTC

And when you are happy, I am happy.

I think I might have the privilege of being the only Epiales there ever was.

calliopic February 9 2011, 10:41:17 UTC

Aren't you the special snowflake, Dream?

tantibus February 9 2011, 11:05:52 UTC

I certainly am.

calliopic February 9 2011, 11:19:29 UTC

And modest, too! How divine.
