“Electricity is the latest technology,” Alexander explained. “No need for candles or kerosene. Lights up an entire room.”

Boys are such mischief makers. Poor kittens. I hope they got rescued quickly.
Yes, Alexander found his sons peeking in through the window and made them take down the kittens right away. No animals were harmed in the writing of the story or backstory.
Cute story, Tresha. Well done. 🙂 — Suzanne
And shortly thereafter, the first chapter of the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals was formed! 😉
Love the humor, and Lorna’s take on it. Very well done!
