Rioting broke out today as Mr. and Mrs. Young of Poplar Drive celebrated Mrs. Young's recent graduation.
Uninvited revelers stormed the house at 9am, eating everything in sight and stealing the cat's litter right out of his box.
"It was quite embarrasing," Mr. Emile-The-Cat commented.
Mr. and Mrs. Young acted quickly to round up the invading ants, and even Mr. Emile-The-Cat exercised his usual quick wit and bravery--he promptly and heroically sat upon the pile of offending insects, refusing to budge from his self-appointed post.
"It was itchy," he said.
The food eaten, the house a shambles, Mrs. Young holds her diploma and shakes her head. "I never expected it to end this way."
But not everyone in the Young household is so discouraged. Despite the tragedy and failed celebration, Mr. Young has a gleam in his eye. Chemicals in hand, he heads out to clean up the neighborhood and make the world a safer place for us all.
The family fish declined to comment.
