Today Kady and I were out on the front porch, enjoying some sunshine. She was playing with Mamacita, our oh so fertile momma cat who is pregnant again for the umpteenth time. The poor cat looks like she's going to explode, bless her heart.
Kady looked up and said, "Momma, I think Mamacita's already had her kittens. She looks skinnier today."
I shook my head after looking at the bloated thing and said, "No, sweetie. She's still got babies inside her. She's still pretty fat."
Kady didn't even look up from petting the cat when she said, "You've already had all your babies."
I was born a semi-diva. I married a redneck. Through the magic of osmosis or just because of a serious lack of sophistication over the years I have found a balance of the two that make me who I am today. And then I write about it all, much to the chagrin of my mother.
