So, Sam's a nine year old quaker. He has always been a little overzealous during this spring season. Usually the object of his affection is a stuffed animal or toy, but lately that's been changing. Last year around this time he discovered a beautiful Tupperware container, a big one for salads and stuff. I didn't think it would cause any problems being out on the counter with him. Next thing I know I hear the excited quaker noise and Sam has his leg up trying to rub himself on the container. I removed it and we did OK the rest of the season.
This year. The container was on the counter the other night, and he was right back at it again. So of course I removed it. A little later while doing the dishes, he dives into the silverware drawer and starts getting excited over a spoon. He's always liked silverware, so I remove him and shut the draw. The next night, the object of his affections was a cup. I put it away in the cupboard. Sam decides that is not acceptable and the proceeds to try and climb up to the cupboard where his new favorite glass is. Tonight he really blew me away. I thought I had removed everything that he perceived as sexy... so he found something else. The coffee maker (not on, never is when he's around). It's this huge red Mr Coffee, the size of a large shoe box. There's Sam, kissing it, trying to rub on it. I moved it so I could get him to stop. He gave me such a stinkeye. He was fine after that though. I'm just wondering what will be next. Toaster? Plate? The pasta strainer? The sink? Does anyone else have this issue?
