Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

Skipping (oh, my, third day in a row) because, according to the Buffista Calendar, today is ChiKat's birthday.

Happy birthday, ChiKat! With lots of wishes for a great day and a wonderful year!

Shit's all sorts of different now.

the hair chalking thing

On Crazy Hair Day at school, a lot of the kids and teachers do this so they have rainbow hair that doesn't last.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Birthday Happies ChiKat!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

the same spellings pronounced different ways (chrome, machine, attach)

It took me a loooong time to realize they just meant the "ch" in those words, and not the words themselves.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Egad, I have to get Matilda up, feed her, dress her and get her ready for school. But I just did that yesterday!

Oh well, only....(checks calendar) eleven and a half more years to go.

My friend Betty and I used to have a dance called the No Bosses Cha Cha. Where you would do the cha cha whilst chanting "No bosses! No bosses!"

Now she is the boss.
