I've never been at a loss for words. The only trouble is, they're usually not mine unless they're a reaction in the spur of the moment. Like when old lady Patsy Gubbers grabbed me in the confessional, rudely restrained me while at the same time waving my paw at Father Will.
"Put me down, you scrawny old bag!" I said. Of course, she doesn't understand me which is good. She'd be offended, but then forget all about it. Will is the only one who understands what I say which cracks him up.
I overhear sayings like this which are kinda cool - but for me, confusing:
So when does past begin? Oh, and then there's the expression "ancient history." Uh-oh. I'm over-thinking again.
The housekeeper collects quotes and sayings, so there's always a bunch of them.
There are some I remember and others I'm glad to forget.
There's one little saying which I heard and happily remember but never shared with anybody since I heard it before I became a man of the cloth. Would you like to know what it is?
It's a little on the romantic side. Let's see if I remember how it goes:
"I ran up the door, opened the stairs, said my pajamas and put on my prayers,
turned off my bed, tumbled into my light
And all because he kissed me good night."
Isn't that sweet? I truly am a softie.
Do you have anything you want to share? If not, that's ok. Just give me a howdy!
Ramblingly yours,
Tom

That is a cute saying and it made me smile.
We like that one, Tom. Guess kissing makes humans a little crazy.
William Faulkner said "The past isn't dead. It isn't even past."
There's a parody to the old song "After the Ball Was Over"
"After the ball was over
Sally took out her glass eye,
Put her cork leg in the corner,
Hung up her wig to dry.
Put her false teeth in the water,
Hung her wax ear on the wall -
And all that was left of her jumped into bed
After the ball !"
I wonder if the housekeeper knows that one ?
That saying kind of sums up that fun and exhilarating giddy stage of romance, doesn't it, Tom? Hugs to you and the gang!
Yesterday today was tomorrow, and tomorrow today will be yesterday. A dad favorite from George Harrison's "Ding Dong Ding Dong".
