Okay, it's my fault. We've apparently watched "Seabiscuit" one time too many.

My Cassy has decided he wants to be a jockey in this year's Olympics. I've tried telling him he's never riden a horse, but he's convinced he's a natural!! I don't think the 'natural affinity between four footed creatures' that he's been spouting about will cut it! To practice he's been leaping on my back every time I bend down. I particularly hate his 'GEE HAAAAW, Meowma!' and crunch of his claws. I've even tried telling him horses are bigger than he thinks despite the fact that he can cover them with two paws when they are on screen. !

I told him he'll need to bring his horse to Greece and now he's plotting to drop in on Ally and 'rustling' one on the way. Sheesh! (He'll look terrible in a prison suit. )

He's not listening to me. Can you come up with arguments (in my favor, please) that might get through to my hard-headed little guy?
