One holdover from Yavont is that whoever drives the boys to school in the morning is obligated to tell Jamie a story. It can get a little difficult coming up with new scenarios every morning, so Sarah came up with a very productive source of material: Toonces the Driving Cat, who is also a Cat in a (Purple) Hat. Jamie often determines Toonces's mode of transport for the day. Thus, over the past few weeks, Toonces, who drives poorly by human standards, but very well for a cat, has driven: a purple rainbow car he built with his friend Phil, police cars, a commuter bus, a school bus, many fire trucks (front and back), an ambulance, excavators, bulldozers, front loaders, dump trucks, cement mixers, a helicopter, a jet plane, the space shuttle and several monster trucks. Toonces has also gone hiking and took over a donut shop one morning, uttering, in meows of course, the unforgettable phrase, "Time to make the donuts."
Lately, however, this seemingly inexhaustible wellspring of stories has dried up. Jamie now demands a story "about Toonces, the driving cat in a hat, who is a guy and doesn't wear a hat and never drives." Fortunately, the last rule is not too firm and if you put Toonces, in whatever form, into a monster truck, you won't go too far wrong.

Try a story about Toonces The Driving Turk and see if that excites him... (uh, that's a reference for Sarah)
