Why The Fuss?

What is it with Them? Why the fuss?

Didn't much fancy breakfast yesterday (No jelly, just chunks) so asked very politely for lunch. To no avail. (Used to think He was being difficult but am forced to the conclusion - after 14 years - that He simply cannot understand. Most sad for Her.) Waited a little longer but still no food so went out and caught a baby rat. Removed the head and tail and ate the rest under the kitchen table.

Daughter came home a few minutes later. She can always be relied upon to produce food (usually from the fridge) so I put the middle of the baby rat back on the carpet and sat in eager anticipation. Big let down. She went upstairs, collected some things, gave Me a quick scrubble when She saw the bits of rat and went out again.

Very hungry an hour later so finished off the rat.

Daughter and Her came back at about the same time and I heard Them discussing who was to clear up the rat. It was a good feeling to be able to show Them Myself had already done it but then there was such a kerfuffle as Myself has ever heard. Why?
