Mulli of the MidWest

Suburban Terrorists?

I am growing rather alarmed that Mom may be secretly a Terrorist. For the past couple years Mom has been quite obsessed, yes, OBSESSED with Afghans. No Pakistans. No Kyrgyzstans. Only Afghans. We are of course currently in our 8th year of war with Afghanistan. On Friday, Mom recieved in the mail TWO more books on Afghans. One book alone contains the instructions on how to make 100, yes one hundred Afghans! What could the Mulligan Compound possibly do with 100 Afghans? Oh, these Afghans are pretty enough, with their colorful yarns and repeating patterns, but why is Mom so obsessed with them? Mom must be planning to make even more Afghans and then to distribute them!

I, Mulligan, indeed found myself on several occasions entwined in one of Mom's innocent looking Afghans. Oh, it looked so soft and cozy, and the next thing I knew, a toe was hooked into a loop of yarn, and then a whole paw, and what could have happened next if I had not managed to release myself? Was this all part of a plot on Mom's part to slowly encase me in this soft web of yarn until I strangled myself?

Yes, I am certain that Mom is part of a whole terrorist group of Afghan makers. The terrorists can easily buy yarn and an instruction manual at the local craft store or over the Internet. Soon the home-spun Terrorist is crocheting or knitting Afghans to distribute all over Suburbia, the State or America!
