“What’s so amusing?” I hissed at him.
“Calm down, kitten, calm down,” he said. “There’s no need to take out your little claws. You were funny, so it was normal to laugh, but I assure you that I wasn’t laughing at you. Nonetheless, you must admit that the double entendre of what you said was hilarious,” he tried to cajole me.
It was funny, indeed, and I burst into laughter as well. That seemed to please him
