"The Book"
As chaplain in a university residence hall, I am
supposed to uphold all of the school rules,
which include a ban on pets. That changed
when a kitten adopted me. The freshmen in
my dorm kept my secret. They covered for
me by calling my kitten "the Book," since I had
so many in my room.
One morning I was leaving the dorm with the
kitten in a carrier.
A student stopped me and asked, "Where are
you taking the Book?"
I explained that I was taking the kitten to the vet.
"She's getting neutered today," I told him.
"Hmmm," the student responded, "no sequels."
