You’d think that, with all the times she’s gone up and down the stairs, Human Mommy would understand the Stair Toll.
You would be wrong.
I still have to explain that the toll is due prior to descent, that we Toll Collectors do not accept IOUs, and that strokes are appreciated but are not a substitute for hard currency like Tuna, ‘Nip, and chilled cream.

Masterful stair toll positioning, Apollo! I hope you’re sharing your wisdom about IOUs, positioning, and hard currency with the voidling! Purrs

Well, except that the kitchen where all of those things are kept is on the ground floor, and you’d be more likely to get a toll if you stayed at the bottom instead. Just saying.
