An Andrewism

The other night one of our cats was ensconced on the stairs being cute. Being a cat she couldn't help that of course; it goes with the territory.

Andrew noticed her and started to pat her by reaching through the banisters with his left hand (he's a southpaw). Buttons responded appropriately and so Andrew put his right hand through the banisters. Buttons liked the attention so he picked her up to give her a cuddle, and then realised that he had his left hand through one aperture and his right through another. Poor cat!
