Age-Old Questions Answered

Answering the age-old question…do cats like art?



Cats love art; however, they like sleeping, eating, and coughing up furballs on your favorite rug far much more. They especially love it when they cough up that wet juicy furball on your carpet and you walk over it half asleep in your bare feet!

Answering the age-old question…if there’s a tree in the woods, and there’s no one around, can you see its bra?



When I dropped Nathan off at his Dad’s house the other night, I asked, “Nate, what’s that on the tree?” He laughed. I guess if you can get flocked, you can certainly get brassiere-ed.

Answering the age-old question…is “goddess” an inherited trait?



Iz and I went out grocery shopping tonight; I wanted to feed the pets before we left. She got impatient and said, “I’ve got the car keys. I’ll meet you in the car.” When I climbed into the car, she was in the back seat, adorned in her pearls and watching “Pretty in Pink.” The apple doesn’t fall too far from the 5’10” tree.

Answering the age-old question…just because someone is gone, does it mean you can’t celebrate his or her birthday?



When Iz and I got home from grocery shopping, we headed over to Susan’s; as we drove by, I noticed she was cleaning up after a family party. It was her Mom’s birthday today; however, her Mom had passed away recently.

Iz and I met her by her flower bed; she told me that she invited everyone in her family over. They passed around pictures of her Mom and told stories. It sounded like it was a lovely party.

I gave Susan her pink roses, hugged her, and I said, “Happy Birthday, Susan’s Mom.” She started to cry. I said, “It’ll get easier.” She answered, “But not for a while.”

I said, “Right. What was your Mom’s name?” She said, “It was Dorothy.” I asked, “Did she have a nickname?” Susan said, “Dolly.”

I said, “I like that. Dolly.” Susan then said, “I’m weeding now, because I’m afraid to go inside.” I said, “Remember, if you ever need me, call me.”

Happy Birthday, Dolly.
Happy Birthday, Mom.
Happy Birthday, Dad.
Happy Birthday, Bitsy.
Happy Birthday, Sherrie.
Happy Birthday, Terry.
