Only on Wednesdays

Sarah found an old toy cat in the back of the van. She played with it all the way to town.

Anna finally got impatient. "Sissy! I need to have a turn holding Kitty."

"She likes playing with me. See?" Sarah made Kitty prance on her lap.

"But she's my kitty," said Anna. "She doesn't want to be around new people."

"But I've played with her lots of times, and she likes it. Wheee!" Kitty slid down Sarah's seatbelt.

"Sissy, this day is a day when she doesn't like new people, because today is-- Mommy?"

"What?" I said.

"What day is it today?" she asked urgently.

"It's Wednesday."

"See?" said Anna. "Kitty doesn't like you on Wednesdays."
