Cocoa addresses yarn--

“Dear Cocoa,

© Cheryl Simonds
My pet is a wonderful person who cares for my every need; however, she has one quirk that I can’t seem to break.  She uses that fluffy stuff that comes in fun rolling balls or big fun-to-play-with clumps all the time.  I used to have a great time playing with them as she twitched and bounced them for my entertainment.  Now, however, she has begun to store them in containers that allow me to see them but not play with them.  Why is she dangling them for me but keeping them in containers I can’t get into?  Please explain.

“Dear Can’t Play,

Your pet has challenged you.  She wants to see how clever you are.  Don’t give up now.  There is a way to get into that container and pull out the fun toys it holds.  Jump at it; knock it over; reach inside; or grab the stuff coming out of the top and run off as fast as you can.  Once you have it, don’t let go!  It will be an afternoon of fun for you as your pet tries to get the fluff away from you while you race all over the house knotting it up.  Have fun!

Signed Cocoa”
