Mungo’s New Job

Gainful Employment

Mungo has found a summer job! The entire Hitty Cupboard is rejoicing…

Ladder-climbing

…He has the right skills – Mungo is a natural at ladder-climbing…

Kilt

…and he already had the right uniform!

“Man” in Kilt

…he’s more of a “Boy in Kilt” but Mungo is happy to have an outdoor job this sunny summer, and the Quimper Hitty girls are glad of a little less skirling in the cupboard.

The Wiregrass Hitties could benefit from Mungo’s able assistance with gutter-cleaning. If he fancies a trip waaaay south, he’ll surely find employment!

  He might treat you to a bagpipe concert afterward – are you sure you want the whole package?

My, perhaps we need a young man round here. There are a few slates loose on our old house and it would not be be sensible to climb up in our long skirts. Perhaps our Person should recruit a boy to be live-in help.
Do boys and men like cake? I do so love to bake, but Mary and I are watching our waistlines so there is little point in firing up my stove at the moment.

  Oh, Mungo definitely works for cake – he has no waistline to watch!

Mungo can come and clean my gutters any day – I promise not to peek! and he can leave his ladder/raddle at home, I have a longer one.

  I think they are working in your neighbourhood at the moment – I’ll tell them to give you a call, they do windows too!

Ha ha ha ha ha! This post made me laugh and laugh. Glad to see he is going to be occupied this summer. 🙂

  I am glad it made you laugh! I laughed pretty hard when I was writing it, but quietly so as not to hurt Mungo’s feelings!

OH what a lark!! I am trying to imagine these guys (and Mungo) in my area…very rural…very conservative (yes I kow what am I doing here?)…most of the guys in jeans or those bib overalls. I think that kilts would get quite a reaction.
So happy to see Mungo gainfully employed. I am sure he is an asset to the company.

  I think Mungo is very attached to his clothing – I doubt he would trade his kilt for bib overalls, even to pacify conservative guys. He is a great asset to the Men in Kilts – a hard worker and bubbling with enthusiasm!

How amazing is that–for Mungo to find a sign leading him to his perfect employment opportunity with like-minded (re: dressed) men!!
