Hi. This is Coco speakin'...uh, I think I'm in trouble...BAD trouble. See, early this mornin', some man came to the house. He was workin' on some stuff and makin' lots and lots of noise. He kept goin' up and down the stairs and movin' stuff around. He talked real loud and slammed stuff around a lot. He skeerd me 'cause I knowed he ain't supposed to be here.
So...I decided to find me a hidin' place. See, I'm real real good at findin' hidin' places. I did it one time before, too. You can click here to read all 'bout my big adventure. Mommy don't necessarily appreciate my hidin' place findin' skills...in fact, she starts to cry when I'm practicin' my skills. That's just weird, people.
Anyways, back to the story. So I found a place nobody would ever find me and went sound asleep. It was nice and quiet and cozy. In fact, I sleeped so long that I missed supper! Dang...that was some good sleepin' a goin' on! It was real real late...about midnight. Mommy was a goin' to bed and realized she hadn't seen me since real early this mornin'. She started thinkin' and was afraid the man that came to work on the house had let me out...
One minute I was snoozin' and the next thing I knowed, mommy was cryin'. I couldn't see her but I sure could hear her. I heard the front door open and close 'bout a jillion times. Mommy was goin' up and down the steps...she keeped a callin' "Coco...where are you..." I could hear her callin' my name outside, too. Now tell me, why on earth would she be lookin' for me on the outside??? I'm real embarrassed 'cause all them neighbors we gots must think mommy is plum crazy walkin' 'round in the dark at 1:00 in the mornin', in her night gown, callin' for me.
When she finally had given up, she noticed that Felix and Georgie and Henry and Elizabeth Taylor was all sniffin' round this real fancy thing called a chaise lounge. It's in our spare bedroom and me and all my brothers and sisters LOVE to sleep on it...see they don't know the super-secret trick that I know...I know how to git down inside of it. Oooohhh, it's so cozy and nobody knows where you is!
So, when mommy sawed all the cats sniffin', she knowed that was where I was. She turned the fancy chaise lounge upside down and saw the hole I had cut into the bottom of it. DANG...now my secret is out!
Mommy was cryin' and callin' me a hairy little sunuvabich. I wonder what that means? I ain't sure but I think it means she was glad to see me.
Now my big adventure is over, it's time for a nap.
Yours truly, the hairy little sunuvabich in the Graves House,
Mademoiselle Coco Chanel
