Guitar Case
I was sitting on the couch playing guitar when I heard the bathroom door open. Alleke scampered into the room looking for music like kids after an ice cream truck. She had escaped her bath in her birthday suit, which made my music her victory song as she giggled and galloped circles around the room.
Much later after Alleke had exhausted herself with spinning in circles, she crawled into my guitar case with a blanket and closed her eyes.
I strummed a lullaby.
It wasn’t until after she sat up, got out, and began running around again that I noticed the little puddle in the bottom of my case.

They always seem to pee in the most unfortunate places.
Love the new banner.

Owning several guitars myself, your story made me laugh and cry.
