I am Doodlebug, King of the Olde English Bulldogges.
Me: It’s Fall!

MoonCat: Fall? What fell? I didn’t do it.

Sweetie: Are you sure, Lady Human? I didn’t hear anything fall.
Me: No, this is Fall, the season. You know. Autumn!
Doodlebug: Please make up your mind, ma’am.
Sweetie: Yeah. What fell?
Me: Nothing yet, but by tomorrow, the temperature will. 95° high today, high of 84° tomorrow.
Sweetie: Said the human in her mysterious language.
Me: Cooler! Fall means cooler.
Doodlebug: Why call it “Fall” then? Why not just call it “Cooler” or “Not so Hot”?
Sweetie: Humans never think things through.
