Dear Jazzi,

I have no sympathy for you.

I know the chipmunks have been taunting you, but you know the rules. You stay INSIDE THE WINDOW.

I know it's been hard this summer, with the chippermunkers racing back and forth, but there is no compromise on this one. You stay INSIDE THE WINDOW.

So when my hands were full of birdseed and that chipper raced by and you leapt out, hit the ground running, and then slammed face-first into the side of the house when the chipper ran under it? 

NO SYMPATHY!

I do appreciate that you stayed put while I went through the house, out the door, and saw your little face peering around the corner at me.  And when I came around the corner, I saw you peering up at the window, wondering if maybe you should jump back in before I got to you.  But then, when you started wandering around towards THE OTHER SIDE OF THE HOUSE, I had to scruff you, and I know I wasn't all that gentle, but NO SYMPATHY! Even when you squeaked.

And THAT is why the window remained shut ALL DAY. Not even a tiny crack for the fresh air and good smells. Your sister and bunny-brother SUFFERED because of you. ALL YOUR FAULT.

(ok, maybe the window was also shut because of the hideous heat and humidity and that the air conditioner was on, but I'm not telling her that part, because NO SYMPATHY!)

You, my dear, have been window-grounded today!

So there.
