[What he thought would be a funny discussion about cats turned out to be a neverending performance of "The Rum Tum Tugger." It was a nightmare that refused to end. Now that it's finally over, one thing's for sure: he's never going back.

Auntie Tianna, most of all.
Though I do understand that it's something she uses for giving command. It's a heavy symbol for a child to twirl around like a toy.
