boys were chicken

Hah! Yes, we women take a lot of heat for being "the weaker sex," when I do believe it is the other way around in many respects. In grade school, the nuns took us to an open casket viewing for a classmate who had died. Several of the boys got sick. The girls respectfully prayed for Kathleen's soul. Worms are pretty slimy and I sometimes have trouble hooking them properly, but at least I try. Great write, Veronica! Love, Carolyn
