I needed to pick up paint and supplies for my next project, so I brought Sparky along.  It was in the afternoon, which is when Sparky likes to take his nap.  He’d never turns down a car ride, but he was having a hard time staying awake.

He was just going to put his head down for a second.

When I chided him for taking a cat nap, he tried to perk up.

I told him he looked drunk, and maybe I should take him home.

Sparky said that if he was drunk or tired, he wouldn’t be able to sit in a car seat like a regular person.  He felt so awake, he could probably drive the car himself.

I pretended like I didn’t hear him, and went in to buy my paint.
