Suddenly, it's all clear to me as I remember something...

1. Pickles is a cat, the main character in this book that my dad had to read to my little sisters at least 5,000 times.

2. Mr. Bigglesworth is a cat, a supporting character in Austin Powers.

3. Mr. Picklesworth is the "new name" of Pussen, my sister's cat, who my parents have adopted when sister moved to Rochester.

4. My parents are much more clever than I know, and I realize this every time I talk to them. Don't tell them I said that, though. They'll think I respect them or something.
