#MLKDay - Waffles' Way

WAFFLES:  Hey Boss! Did you know the garbage man forgot to come today? And the mailman isn't coming either. I have to wait a whole extra day for my fan mail. There's ladies out there sending me love letters and stuff you know.

KATIE:  It's a national holiday, Waffles.

WAFFLES:  COOL! You mean like National Waffles Day? I bet EVERYONE will want to celebrate!



KATIE:  Waffles, this isn't that kind of holiday. It's not some made up craziness celebrating breakfast food and orange cats. Today Americans are honoring Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. 

WAFFLES:  Was he a famous vet or something? 

KATIE:  No, Waffles. He wasn't a vet. He was a pastor, humanitarian and a leader in the civil rights movement. He believed in equality, compassion and service. On #MLKDay, people across the country are urged to come together for a day of service. 

WAFFLES:  Service? Like room service? Still sounds like breakfast to me.

KATIE:  Seriously, Waffles. You are not right in the head. Today is about making a commitment to our communities. For example, helping shelter cats in our community. Helping our neighbors. Today and everyday. 

WAFFLES:  Ok, I get it. Like donating food and toys to the Feline Rescue cats. Or sending Glogirly over to visit and play? 

KATIE:  Exactly. Even making people smile. Every little bit helps.   

Uh...Waffles? What are you doing???



WAFFLES:  I'm serving my community by looking handsome... you know, for the ladies.

KATIE:  *sigh*
