A Mathom moment

After all the joy of the concert on Friday – and the pleasure of hearing Mrs. Claus play piano – we had a funny piano moment today.

Mrs. Claus did not play Saturday. Resting, I suppose.

But today she decided to play.

She sat down, and hit a C chord.

But instead of beautiful notes, we heard “MERROW!”

I lifted the lid of the piano.

Mathom, our cat, raced out of the piano and upstairs!

We later found her in the back of our bedroom closet. She had a wild look in her eyes.

“Well, my dear,” I said. “I don’t think Mathom is a fan of your playing.”

I later managed to coax Mathom out.

She spent an hour on my lap. I even go her to purr.

Sounded like a C chord to me!
