About that bat costume...

Mom brought it out the other day. At first I didn't recognize it but then I realized it smelled familiar. It was one of my sweaters! I love sweaters. They're warm and cozy. ...Huh? This isn't a sweater, is it? What is this cape-looking thing of purple and black? Yes, purple and black. You question my rods and cones? You think dogs see only in black and white?

The cape looked pretty normal. The matching hat was something else. It had a little big-eyed bat perched on top, and fake ears. I would rather wear a sweater, or sleep on the couch with my face tucked into a folded blanket and get called a "jelly roll." Yes, there's enough air in there, really.
