I have found myself using words my Grampsie used -- words like schmaltzy and dikabook ( the oo is pronounced like it would be in moon. Supposedly German for stomach or tummy. We were allowed to say belly -- too crude!) I have been using schamaltzy indiscriminately for two weeks. Must be missing my grandfather.
The other night Sadie snuck into our bedroom when I went to give Michael his fifth goodnight smooch. Since he doesn't have the top blanket over his feet, there is a space where it is perfect for a burrowing cat to dig into. The only problem was, her tail was sticking straight up and then bent like a shepherd's crook. I told her I could still see her and in a matter of nanoseconds, all of her was under the covers. It was adorable! Now who says cats can't learn stuff!
