The things I do for you, Rocco

I Googled "cartoon animals getting electrocuted" last night. No, I'm not some weirdo who thinks cartoon animals getting electrocuted is entertaining. That would be Rocco. Nothing makes him laugh harder than seeing Mort, the mouse lemur, from Penguins of Madagascar getting jolted with thousands of watts of electricity. The weirdest thing about this search is that there actually were other results. This includes a Tom and Jerry episode that also includes poisoning and explosives. (Those were the days...) Just like I thought, Rocco loved it. Maybe he gets it from his Uncle Dmitri, whose first grade teacher called our mom to let her know that he had drawn a violent picture of squirrels on a power line getting electrocuted. My mom made sure that things like that "should only be drawn at home." As for Rocco, I guess there are worse things that could entertain him, such as "animals getting electrocuted." I'll count this as a win.

The electrocution of squirrels on the power line was an excellent drawing by any standards. Now Ivy's bath-surround has become a mural of goodness, cats and a palm tree by the same talented Dmitri. Love it when Rocco laughs at flicks! No Country for Old Men might be too much though.
