1. The house is messy and she needs to clean it up. She cleared off this stool just for me. From here I can see all the fabric bits that are scattered about the floor in her sewing room. I think the rug-sucking monster is needed.
2. She doesn't know everything. When Mom was out with Mr Karate on Sunday, she saw these at Russo's and she doesn't know what they are. She says Google and Wikipedia aren't being much help. DKM? Anybody?

Well fooey on you Millie. Who are you to say that your Mom needs to clean anything up? Is she happy? Is she healthy? Is she loved? So who cares about a bit of untidiness every now and then? Get a perspective on things Miss M!!

Usually kitties don't ask for the rug-sucking monster to make an appearance...things must be bad if you want it to come out - LOL!
No idea what those things are...olives?
My mommy is clueless on the thingies as well . . . hopefully the GREAT DKM will know!
I won't even go into detail on how badly our house needs cleaned . . . it was bad enough before the blurp, but now . . . *sigh*
Don't feel bad Millie, our mom has been really bad lately and our house is a disaster right now! A few fabric bits sounds pretty good to us!
And we have no idea what that thing is - we decided to try and search too, and it said it was a poisonous plant - which makes me think that can't be the correct name or something. We will be back to see if anyone figures it out.
We are clueless about the plant...
Millie, we can't BELIEVE you actually said your Mom NEEDS to use the rug-sucking monster! Are you ok?
We're back...are those small tomatillos? hmmmm, must keep searching...
our house needs rug sucking really bad too.
we has no idea what those things are!
We don't look at the floor around Mom's sewing area! We know it is a mess.
Let us know if you find out that those are!

Millie, I don't think you should be telling on your Mom like that. You know, she controls your fudz and all that other important stuff! What if she gets mad at you?
Hey Millie
Long time fans, first toime writin. Our Mama says she "outsources" the rug monstering to our friend Fran so she can have more time to make fabric mess.
We have to say thank very much to you cause you got our Mama onto catnip!!! We LUB IT and you for the suggestion!!!
Enjoy the sunshine

Oh dear, I obviously missed to solve the riddle by not posting my comment yesterday… The reason why I didn’t comment was that I re-read your post before I hit enter and realized that you bin to Wikipedia and I was confused because Wikipedia would have given you the answer… Now I know we have different Google habits.
What “Sandy O” left out is that all the plants in the nightshade species are poisonous buggers in one way or another, even the ones I think ends up on your kitchen table… And they are? Potatoes, tomatoes and egg plants… The egg plant is said to be the nicest one. It’s mostly “guilt by association” because it belongs to the nightshade family. The tomato is under discussion. Some scientists say that green tomatoes are bad, some say they are not… Ripe tomatoes are ok. The bad boy is the potato. It always contains small amounts of solanine, but that’s not the problem. The problem occurs when the potato turns green. The rule is always throw away a green potato, newer just cut the green part off. The solanine spikes in the whole potato when it’s under “stress”.
The species has other “useful” plants worth mentioning… Datura stramonium. Anyone, who has read Jean M Auels ice age porno “The Clan of The Cave Bear”, knows what I’m talking about… Tobacco, not the best plant originating from the New World. Atropa Belladonna, Deadly Nightshade, very useful. It’s the plant, which gave us “atropine”. (Popular European plant poisoning to…)
