"Tommy, Tammy, lunch is ready," called their mother. "Tammy, Tommy, where are my little children?"

"I'm not `your little children,' I'm a pussycat," said Tommy.

"I'm not `your little kids,' I'm a pussycat, too"                                         said Tammy."

"Well, excuse me!" said their mother, but, my lovely kittens, it's time for your lunch ."

"Miaow," said Tammy as she washed her hands.
"Miaow," said Tommy, as he sat down.

"Purrrrrrrr," said the twins, as they ate their lunch, and lapped up the milk in the saucers in front of them.

Later, when they went to the food store, a kind old man smiled and said, "My, what a nice little girl and boy."

"I'm not a little girl," said Tammy, "I'm a pussycat. Miaow."
"I'm not a little boy," said Tommy, "I'm a pussycat, too. Miaow."

"Well," said the kind old man, "You're the first pussycats I've ever seen pushing shopping carts. Miaow to you, too!"
