Cat's Fur

Cats fur for kitten britches, to make little girls like you ask questions. That was one of my father's famous sayings when he didn't want to answer my questions. Or when he and mom were having adult conversation. I would just sit and wonder what that meant. I don't think I realized until I was well into my 40's. Then again my kindergarten teacher did call me naive. Another one of my dad's sayings was " I'm brown from the sun". It is funny how you miss someone who has died. Let's see, he died in 1999, so I was how old? 46 years old. As old as I was, I still think that I wished I were old enough when he died to have an adult conversation. How strange.
