KAREN\u2019S \u201cENOUGH IS ENOUGH\u201d DECLARATION <\/strong>(Filed under: \u201cI\u2019m Too Old for This Shit, Volume 12\u201d)<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

1. OPENING<\/strong><\/h6>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cENOUGH. ABSOLUTELY NOT ONE MORE WORD FROM ANY OF YOU.\u201d Silence.Even Tarti\u2019s whisk stops mid-whisk. Lilith freezes mid-sage. Ziggy half-opens an eye.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

2. THE RANT OF THE CENTURY<\/strong><\/h6>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cOh my GOD. I leave you unsupervised for TEN MINUTES and suddenly I walk into a UN resolution on omelettes, omert\u00e0, dragons, binders, and WHETHER CHARLOTTE\u2019S BRAIN IS MADE OF FEATHERS. Which, for the record\u2014 SHOULD NOT EVEN BE A TOPIC OF DISCUSSION.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

She points at Luna: \u201cYOU\u2014stop weaponizing Google terminology you don\u2019t even understand.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Points at Charlotte: \u201cAND YOU\u2014learn the difference between breakfast foods and criminal codes. Also stop being so dramatic, I cannot deal.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"Points at Tarti, who is now upside down: \u201cAND YOU\u2014STOP SINGING ABBA. I am BEGGING you. The surgery recovery hasn\u2019t even started yet.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Willow drools politely. Karen sighs.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd for the love of all things holy, no more treat stashes, no more mafia allegiances, no more Scorchio custody battles!\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

3. THE PART WHERE THEY ALL LOOK EMBARRASSED<\/strong><\/h6>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Luna folds her ears back. Charlotte lifts a paw like \u201cI have a counterargument\u2014\u201d Karen raises ONE finger. Charlotte shuts up instantly.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

4. THE FINAL DECREE<\/strong><\/h6>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom this moment forward, there will be:<\/p>\n

                          \n
                        • NO singing unless it\u2019s Billie Holiday.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                          <\/p>\n

                          <\/p>\n

                          <\/p>\n

                          Tartiflette gasps, scandalized.<\/p>\n

                          <\/p>\n

                          <\/p>\n

                          \u201cAnd DEAR GOD, no more \u2018omert\u00e0\u2019 until after my surgery, when I\u2019m full of pain meds and less likely to commit crimes.\u201d<\/p>\n

                          <\/p>\n

                          <\/p>\n

                          Luna quietly pushes her binder away. Charlotte adjusts an imaginary crown. Tartiflette is already humming \u201cChiquitita\u201d again. Karen stares at the ceiling. \u201cWhy do I even try.\u201d<\/p>\n

                          <\/p>\n

                          <\/p>\n

                          AFTERMATH: \u201cTHE GREAT BREAKFAST CEASEFIRE\u201d<\/strong><\/h6>\n

                          <\/p>\n

                          <\/p>\n

                          The room is still. The air is tense. Karen has stormed off to sit for five blessed minutes of peace. The cats look at each other. Luna closes her binder softly, like a chastened accountant. Charlotte sighs in a grand, operatic way. Tartiflette wipes egg yolk off her forehead even though THERE WAS NO EGG.
                          Lilith blows out the sage. Ziggy farts.Willow licks the floor. Everyone is silent.<\/p>\n

                          <\/p>\n

                          <\/p>\n

                          For once\u2026 for ONE glorious millisecond\u2026They all come to the same, shared, telepathic conclusion:<\/p>\n

                          <\/p>\n

                          <\/p>\n

                          \u201cKaren might actually kill us.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

                          <\/p>\n

                          <\/p>\n

                          Luna:
                          \u201cWe pushed her too far.\u201d<\/p>\n

                          <\/p>\n

                          <\/p>\n

                          Charlotte:
                          \u201cWe? We<\/em>? I<\/em> was innocent until YOU started yelling about omelettes!\u201d<\/p>\n

                          <\/p>\n

                          <\/p>\n

                          Luna:
                          \u201cIt was OMERT\u00c0\u201d<\/p>\n

                          <\/p>\n

                          <\/p>\n

                          Charlotte:
                          \u201cOH MY GOD HERE WE GO AGAIN\u201d<\/p>\n

                          <\/p>\n

                          <\/p>\n

                          Tartiflette (screaming):
                          \u201cOMELETTE! OMELETTE! OMELETTE!\u201d<\/p>\n

                          <\/p>\n

                          <\/p>\n

                          Willow tries to sit on her to calm her down.<\/p>\n

                          <\/p>\n

                          <\/p>\n

                          Karen (from the bedroom):
                          \u201cI SWEAR TO GOD IF I HEAR THE WORD \u2018OMELETTE\u2019 ONE MORE TIME\u2014\u201d<\/p>\n

                          <\/p>\n

                          <\/p>\n

                          Instant silence. You could hear a whisk drop. Tartiflette gently puts hers down.<\/p>\n

                          <\/p>\n

                          <\/p>\n

                          \n

                          <\/p>\n

                          <\/p>\n

                          2. THE PEACE SUMMIT<\/strong><\/h6>\n

                          <\/p>\n

                          <\/p>\n

                          Luna and Charlotte sit across from each other like diplomats.<\/p>\n

                          <\/p>\n

                          <\/p>\n

                          Luna: \u201cOkay. Fine. Maybe I overreacted.\u201d<\/p>\n

                          <\/p>\n

                          <\/p>\n

                          Charlotte: \u201cMaybe? Dear, you had more cows than a Norwegian dairy farm.\u201d<\/p>\n

                          <\/p>\n

                          <\/p>\n

                          Luna: \u201cYou yelled about breakfast for twenty minutes!\u201d<\/p>\n

                          <\/p>\n

                          <\/p>\n

                          Charlotte: \u201cYou yelled about crime families!\u201d<\/p>\n

                          <\/p>\n

                          <\/p>\n

                          <\/p>\n

                          <\/p>\n

                          They both sigh.<\/p>\n

                          <\/p>\n

                          <\/p>\n

                          Lilith, from a corner in a low whisper:
                          \u201cThe spirits accept your truce.\u201d<\/p>\n

                          <\/p>\n

                          <\/p>\n

                          Ziggy:
