Harry Potter & Mom's Birthday

It's Mom's birthday today. She's lots older than me, almost twice as old as Mr Karate, and more than three times as old as Jasmine. She doesn't look old. In that sense, she's like a cat. Cats don't -look- older as they age. For example, Jasmine doesn't look like an old bat cat.

Anyway, Mom's waiting for a guy in bloo shorts to bring the last Harry Potter to her. She says she's waiting for three of them, one for her, one for Mr Karate and one for Mim-may. But I totally don't get it. How can she be getting the last Harry Potter if Mr Karate and Mim-may are each getting him too? Is Mr Karate's the next-to-last Harry Potter, and Mim-may's the next-to-next-to last Harry Potter?

Now I'm no dummy. I can use Google like the next cat. So I did a search, and found out the publisher is printing, get this, TWELVE MILLION copies of "the last Harry Potter," in the United States alone! Which means what Mom calls "the last Harry Potter" is really a BOOK called "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows."
And when she gets it, she's going to sit down and READ it, and not do anything else ALL DAY until she finishes it. It's got 784 pages.

It's gonna be a REAL boring day around here. Omigosh! I hope she doesn't turn off the computer...

Monty Q! I need you! C'mon over and spend the day with me!

Happy Birthday, Millie's Mom! I hope your Harry Potter arrives very soon. Millie, when Mom is reading Harry Potter, there will be a lap waiting for a kitty. Are you a lap sitter yet?

Happy Birthday Millie's Mom! Mom neffur read any Harry Potter books so she don't get what all the excitement is about. If reading the whole book in one day will make your mom happy then that is what you'll hafta let her do...just make sure she fills the food and water and cleans the litter box before she starts.

Hope your mum enjoys the book. My mum went out and got it at midnight and finished reading it at 3.15 AM. Dad and I thought she was mad. She says it has some very scary bits.

Happy birthday Millie and Jasmine's Mom!
Mommy went to the store and bought the first HP book. She hasn't read any of the books, so she starts tonight.
