The Diet by Iza Deleanu
Short short story writing prompt entry

“Listen up, crew, starting with today no more midnight snacking, and Dinu no more eating at 2 am, and the other am's. We are all on diet!”

 
“Yes, mom! I have no problem with that, said Leo.”
 
”You, mother fortune of kitty traitor; speak for yourself! I need my snacks and extra meals!”
 
“ Dinu, language, please!”
 

“But, mommy, I need my snacks, because I am bored!”
 

“Well, son, I have a cure for that too! No more sleeping with the chickens and waking up with the roosters. You ‘ll go to bed at 10 pm instead of 6 pm!”
 

”But mom, I like to sleep early.”
 
”You do? What the heck Dinu, we live in apartment; there are no cattle to attend! Why can you be like your brother?”
 

Dinu turned around and hissed at his brother: “You, mommy's boy!”
 
” Boys, do we have an agreement?”

 
Dinu sighted and exclaimed: “Like we have a choice. You are the master of the universe, and I’m not big enough to burglar for my food, mommy!”
 
“I know, you are too posh for that type of food! You prefer the sterile one, that comes from a can, Vet recommended, said Leo moving his tail in front of Dinu's nose!”
 
“Man you stink, go and wash your tail! Mom, why have you so suddenly decided to put all of us on diet?”
 
No, Dinu, the vet said that you are too chubby for your age, so we diet, now, because of you!”
