Alice has started “wugging” in the Charles’ style. I suppose it’s been such a social succcess for Charles that Alice felt compelled to get in on the action. This means Mom is back to earlier days when she had to manuever through stores with small parasites, except now they’re medium sized parasites. Charles, in response (I think) has upgraded to rubbing and patting so I get the fun of having Alice hang on me while Charles rubs my tummy. At least he’s not rubbing my butt in public as he has to Mom in the past.
