“Really?<\/i>” Sheldon was glaring at the cat.<\/p>\n
“Sheldon,” Charlotte began, but he would have none of it.<\/p>\n
“I mean, really?<\/i> A talking cat?”<\/p>\n
“I think you’re missing something here,” Charlotte’s mom said quietly.<\/p>\n
“What could I possibly be missing? We’re hanging out with a talking cat.”<\/p>\n
“Yes,” she continued, “and we’re also hanging out with a ghost.”<\/p>\n
“Please don’t bring my ethnicity into this.”<\/p>\n
“I don’t mean to be disrespectful Sheldon, but context really does matter in this case.”<\/p>\n
“How so?”<\/p>\n
“Well, for one thing, you are a mythical creature.”<\/p>\n
“Hello. I’m standing right here.”<\/p>\n
“Mom’s got a point,” Charlotte jumped in. “You are standing right here only because you’re in part 8 of a book called ‘Sheldon’. So maybe we need to give some credit to context. I mean, when was the last time anybody met a ghost for real?”<\/p>\n
“Yes, but a talking cat?” Sheldon looked pained.<\/p>\n
“Now who’s prejudiced?” the cat said curtly.<\/p>\n
“Looks like I’ve been missing a real party.” It was Charlotte’s dad. “A ghost with glasses and a talking cat.”<\/p>\n
“Not the same thing at all,” Sheldon muttered weakly.<\/p>\n
Charlotte started to giggle. “I am trying so hard not to say ‘… walk into a bar …'”<\/p>\n
“You’re not helping.” Charlotte’s dad gave his daughter a stern look, before turning back to Sheldon. “Young man, you need to get a grip on yourself. Is Hamlet any more real than Count Gonzago?”<\/p>\n
“Count who?” Sheldon and Charlotte both said at the same time.<\/p>\n
“Bad example dear,” Charlotte’s mom interjected. “Nobody knows who Count Conzago is.”<\/p>\n
“I do,” said the cat.<\/p>\n
Which did nothing to make Sheldon feel any better.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
