Neo says J. Crew is overpriced

We have a ritual everyday. When I arrive home, tpyically before K, I will let the dogs out. Afterwards I say the magic words to Neo and Nala....."Mommy's gonna get the mail" They absolutely love this. I mean all they do is get to watch me from the door go and get the mail from the mailbox and come back in, but by their reation, you would think I am taking them to Disneyland. So when I get back Neo is jumping up and down (Nala heads staight back outside in the backyard) You see, everday I let Neo choose one piece of junkmail that he is allowed to shred for me. He noramlly likes small envelopes because he can run around the yard with them and they stay in his bite. Today, Neo took his piece and immediately tore it up. As K and I are talking in the hallway, I begin to thumb through the new J. Crew catalog. Expensive? yes. Nice to admire? Also yes. As I am looking through the men's section to start off my home window-shopping (I always save the women's formal section for last....it's my favorite), Neo jumps up and grabs the catalog from my clutches. He runs upstairs with it. I yell for him. He now thinks this is a game. As he runs up the hall, he stops in the bedroom....and this is what happens next.

When I reach for the remaining pieces....I should have seen this coming.....I get a terrible paper cut. I cry (fakely) and Neo goes into rescue mode. He drops everything and tries to lick the cut off my finger. Check out this picture. You can see his tongue sticking out a bit!
