siena dictates for cat named pig

Siena is sick and spent the day in bed with a bad headache/earache combo. There’s nothing funny about that, but when I went in to check on her earlier, she wouldn’t speak louder than a whisper.

“Does your throat hurt, Sweetie?”

“No,” she whispered, “but while you were out getting my medicine, I sat up and said ‘I hope Mama gets my medicine soon’ and I said it so loud in my ears that I bet it made everyone’s ears hurt in the whole house. So now I’m only whispering. Do your ears hurt, Mama?”
