Same Old Same Old

“Well, well, well, would you lookie here at what the Cat dragged in...”

The Cat was getting sick and tired of hearing this from her spouse every single time she came home. It was nonsensical. She would hear this every day, without fail, it didn’t matter if she actually brought something home or not. Her spouse, a Pony, would say that same tired line no matter what.

The Cat had literally never drug or dragged anything in her entire life yet she was subjected to this ridiculousness constantly.

When the two had first gotten together the Cat thought it was funny that her spouse would say this to her. The Pony wasn’t really much of a jokester and this was one of those cute little things that she tried and it made the Cat really happy. It wasn’t so much that she ever found the quip funny as much as she felt very special that the Pony who she was really beginning to fall for tried to say something for no other reason than to try to make the Cat laugh.

But Jesus after 20 years together it starts to wear a little thin!

“How was your day?” The Pony asked the Cat.

“It was fine,” the Cat replied with a smile, “Same old, same old.”

“Hey sounds pretty regular to me,” the Pony replied.

“Doesn’t that ever bother you?” The Cat asked, “That things are just same old same old and pretty regular and don’t change?”

The Pony thought for a moment.

“Not really, I’m pretty happy when things are regular, it means we’re still chugging along. Which since we don’t know what any of this is, the world, the universe, our places within them...seems pretty good to me.”
