Not just anyone can catch a fox!

Watching Kaden play with my fox puppet, (part of a puppet collection from my pre-school teaching days) reminds me of a story my paternal grandfather used to tell. My grandmother's maiden name was Fox. Grandpappy used to say, "I caught a Fox! Not too many men can say that!"


Other "famous" lines from Grandpappy:
"How did you sleep last night? I slept with my eyes closed!"
"I'll see ya the next time I look at ya!"
And my all time favorite, spoken when needing to use the bathroom...
"I must pass my water!" (Best when spoken with a heavy Pennsylvania Dutch accent!)
