Look Out

With all the storms that blew through the south over the weekend, people are talking about this storm, past storms, their great Aunt Minnie who once was pinned under a house and the child who took her favorite red shoes.

One of the children of the Old Folks was in touch to make sure I was still competing for inheritance. No, it was more heartfelt than that, I was bad.

Then, he told me that when they were children, and tornadoes and/or bad storms would crop up, the Old Woman would secure all the children safely downstairs, but then go back upstairs to watch the storms roll in.

I can totally see her doing this. And, I can imagine that it was not so much wanting to know what was happening so she could be better able to protect her children as much as being curious and adventurous.
