I can't believe it.

Parents are liars. Plain and simple. How do I know this? Some number of years ago, I had a cat. Her name was Baby(don't ask, don't tell). My parents told me she ran away. All these years later, a thought struck me. 'did Baby run away, or was it the whole "cat died, tell the kids it ran away" deal?' So, I asked as much. It was worse. My parents LET my cat go. Took her out in the car, and just LET her go. Think about this. Have a favored pet that ran away? Don't be so sure about that. Don't be so sure.
