What if Ditto was a Wild Cat?

Today was my first opportunity of the school year to drive Chloe to school.  It's a bit of a challenge sometimes to have two kids in two different school districts, but it also creates some cool opportunities.  For instance, Chloe and I played the "What if Ditto was a Wild Cat?" game today.

It goes like this: the first person starts with, "Once upon a time, there was a Ditto, and he lived..."

Then we make up a story together based on a Wild Ditto Cat living in different environments.  His usual antics involve making friends, eating, napping, and sharing of his zen-like habits with the natives.

Today, Ditto lived in the arctic where he convinced the polar bears that he wasn't an orca whale.  He also got his first taste of seal, and helped the polar bears paint themselves black and white.  

He spent a short time on the farm as well.  All the farm animals thought he was a bull, but he didn't have horns.  So the other farms animals worked together to build him a set of horns like a proper bull.  He taught them all about daytime napping.

The stories lasted the whole drive home, just until we were pulling into the driveway, when Chloe said, "I really like days when it's just me, you, and Kirsten.  I mean, I really, really miss Dad, but it's really fun."

We arrived back home to find Ditto napping on the couch.
