On a flash drive somewhere, I have a file of odd random phrases and sentences that I sometimes use to inspire short stories. A few have resulted in little tales, but some just make me happy, like this one: We’ll always have cats in pants.

What a nice bed, thank you!

If it didn’t remind me of clown pants, I might get this for Luke.

If you’re not creeped out by clown pants, you can get this for your cat here.

And just count yourself lucky if this isn’t what happens every time you go to the bathroom.
