A PASSENGER in the train went into labor! Who would have thought the GRIM “HERMIT” turned out to be the best DOCTOR.
Irina slammed the front door in irritation. As she’d predicted, the day had started terribly! Everything had gone wrong from the very morning: Murka, the little kitten Olya had dragged in from the street six months earlier, had taken a dump all over the bathroom rug. And she couldn’t even get mad—Olga had washed the litter box the night before and left it to dry on the balcony. And in the morning, of course, she’d forgotten about it, happily humming songs in her room and getting ready for school.
– Olya!
The daughter leaned out from behind the door, taking off her headphones and hanging them around her neck.
– Mom, what happened?
— What happened?! Did you put Murka’s litter box back? No? Then go and clean up after her!
Olya’s eyes widened.
— Oh, right! I forgot… Mom, you know, that smell makes me sick… Please, do it one last time! I need to get ready, Vadim is already waiting downstairs.
“So, no one’s waiting for me? Don’t I have to go to work? Maybe I want to tidy myself up too? Or is Mom over forty, and doesn’t she care how she looks anymore?”
Olya immediately ran up to her mother and hugged her.
