This evening Mom and Dad abandoned me at home while they took Oldest Lad out to dinner. They had the opportunity to stop at Oldest Lad's apartment and visit with Housemate Dog Daisy (now Apartment Dog Daisy) and then walked to a restaurant.

The subject of Oldest Lad's former house, and my time of living at Oldest Lad's former house came up.

It is my understanding that gossip is a SIN.

Oldest Lad lives in: the City. I now live in: Suburbia.

With a much less population density of University Students, the Sidewalks of Suburbia, although well-used, are much cleaner. There is simply not the veritable smorgasbord of perfectly still-edible trash along Suburbia Sidewalks as there was along the University Streets.

Oldest Lad shared that when I used to walk along the University Streets, I was so good at finding snacks, that Oldest Lad even called them "Sophie Sandwiches!" Mom and Dad had never heard about that side of me! Oh, sure Mom knows that if I find any tempting morsels on a walk, that I gulp them down, but she did not know of my former reputation of grabbing "Sophie Sandwiches" all along the trash-strew sidewalks of The City.

I thought I was being useful, helping to clean up the City, and yet all I get is gossiped about! That is the last time I shall allow Mom to go out to dinner with Oldest Lad, without ME. Next time I shall surely feign a horrid illness, and Mom will need to remain home, where no secrets can be shared.
