Image Ping-Pong

Ok, let's do this, I guess.

I've been challenged (very aggressively) to a game of Image Ping Pong by the owner of this blog. (Original rules can be found here!)


This image, as horrifying as it may look, is just a music rehearsal. This poor cat is trying having practice for his one-kitten band, and his mom just walked in.

"Get out, mom!"

She reminds him that he's practicing in the garage, which, in fact, belongs to the whole family. He looks down sheepishly, batting away the dead plants hanging by him from that year's gardening attempt. Despite his teen angst, life is good. He managed to get into a class with his favorite teacher, and his screamo was getting better. Before these past few months, it was a miracle that his mom tolerated his songwriting sessions, especially the scream tracks, but she did it out of love. She believed in him, as she always had.

Years later, his music would be called "trashy nonsense", but he didn't care. It made him money. Money he could support his own kittens with, and maybe even get his mom something nice for Mother's Day. Ten years after that fateful day, he bought her a guitar, just like she had with him. As he fell asleep in his childhood room that night, surrounded by his own kittens excited for a sleepover at grandma's, he saw one of their ears perk up from a sleeping bag below. Faintly, almost inaudibly, they heard the sound of electric guitar coming from the garage.



For the next serve in Image Ping Pong, I'll be using this.
