Oh, beans

Illustration of woman opening a can of beans and peeling back the lid. *shhhhk!*
A puff of smoke appears beside her.
Ah, it's the cat. Cat: You summoned me?
The woman pats the cat's head. |Sorry, buddy. It's just beans."
The cat wails: BEANS!

Groundhog Day

Father and daughter walking together. Daughter: "Daddy, what is Groundhog Day?"
"It's the day when the groundhog comes out of his burrow. If he sees his shadow, then there will be 6 more weeks of winter."
Daughter: Oh, I see.


And what is a "week"?

Flashback to when she was 3 years old.

Winter Routine

My Winter Routine:
Step 1: Stand close to the gas heater until my clothes get so scorching hot they start to burn my flesh.
Step 2: Move one baby step away from the heater and stare at it for 30 seconds.
Step 3: Close the gap.
And repeat.
