Especially *Not* Cats

It was bright, sunny, and warm in Colorado today. At least in my part of the state. It reached just above 40. The sun here is intense, so the kids and I were just in jeans and long sleeved shirts. No jackets or boots required. Last week's snow is melting away. Today is a teacher development day, so no school for the kids. They got haircuts, we went to Noodles & Company for lunch, and went to the mall to play. It was warm in the car, verging on hot. On the way to the mall, we rolled down the windows. Shocking, I know, but we did it anyway.  I warned the kids, especially Caitlin, not to put anything near the window because it might blow out. That lead to a social responsibility discussion about how we don't throw anything out of the window of a moving car. Not paper, not diapers, not toys. Then Brandon added this:

"And especially not cats!"

Um, yeah. Not cats. Especially not cats.

It's a good suggestion - one that everyone would agree with. But - not cats? Seriously, where on earth did he get that from?
