I got a new shirt today! We went to my favorite store, the red store with the white circles. At first Mr. Guy and The Lady said that I could not get any shirts because I have already gotten four new ones this month. I really wanted to go just look, though. Sometimes it’s fun to look at stuff even when we are not going to buy one.
Most of the shirts I saw were there when I got my others…except this one! It is different from all the other shirts I have because it has lines all around it. All of my shirts have letters and pictures but no lines. And, the lines match my fur exactly. It has monster orange and monster blue lines! The Lady said that my blue fur is a specific blue called cerulean blue. We talked about this once before, but I think cerulean is a very strange word so I don’t use it. Monster blue works just fine for me!
The Lady agreed that the colors in the shirt were perfect for me so she said that we could get it. Yay! But, when we held it up to make sure that it was the right size, I noticed that it had a big orange blob on it! How did it get an orange blob? If anything, I would think that the shirts might get white circles on them at this store, not orange blobs that look almost like squares. If I am going to have a shirt with blobs on it, I want to have fun putting them on it myself!
I said to The Lady, “I guess I can’t get this new shirt since it has a blig orange blob on it.”
She said, “A big blob? I don’t see anything on it.”
I know that The Lady’s eyes don’t work very well, but surely she can see the big orange almost square blob on the front of the shirt. I didn’t want to be rude so I pointed and said nicely, “It’s right there.”
The Lady said, “That is supposed to be there. It’s a pocket. You can put things in it to carry around with you.”
None of my other shirts have pockets. I’ve never needed a pocket to carry things around. I have Mr. Guy and The Lady and lots of nice friends who carry my things when my things need carrying. I was glad to know that the blob was supposed to be there, though. I now have a new shirt with lines and a pocket!
When we got home, I asked The Lady about her picture for today. She said that she needed to take a picture of a blue flower. I was hoping that she needed to take a picture of a furry little cerulean blue and orange monster in his new shirt with matching lines and a pocket.
Then I had a big idea for a little monster! I decided I could put blue flowers in my orange pocket! It is there to hold stuff. Today it can hold flowers. It can be a vase. I went out to the yard to search for blue flowers. The only blue ones that I could find were the ones we already used in a photo this week. The Lady said that she didn’t want to use them again. I don’t think that they would have fit in my pocket vase anyway.
Then I found some little flowers that aren’t quite blue. They are…quite purple, but they are the best that I could do. Purple is blue with red mixed in, so technically they blue. My monster blue fur has yellow mixed in with it. That’s what makes it cerulean and why my fur and the flowers I found look so different even though they both have blue in them.
I was surprised that The Lady said that my purple flowers would work for her picture. I put them in my orange pocket and she pushed the button on her picture taking box and we were done.
Now I need to find something else to put in my new pocket!
