We was just watchin' a movie on the telebision with Mee Maw & Paw Paw. It was kinda really scary. It was about these religious phonetics who done decided that this little kid was the son of somebody named the Devil. We gotted really scared several times but, since we was sittin' in Paw Paw's lap, he kept pettin' us and tellin' us that it was only a pretend kinda thing. That made it OK. All of a sudden like, Paw Paw gotted this really serimous look on his face. He turned to Mee Maw and said, "What are the preachers gonna do when the Devil is saved?" Mee Maw looked him straight in the eyes and said, "That's not what worries me. What is the Devil going to do when the preachers are saved?" Now don't go gettin' us wrong about this. Mee Maw is a church goin', choir singin', Christian type of Lady. She did gotted us to thinkin' and to scratchin' our headbones. There are lots of good folks out there who do wrong things for the right reasons. There are also lots of mean folks who do good things 'cause they just can't help theirselves. Maybe we should forget about havin' a human-type Reverend perform our wedding to Rosie and Maxie? Perhaps we should have a genuine, holy-type critter, say the words? That way us and our fleoncays would know that there weren't no posterior motives bein' preached at the ceremony. We are gonna ask Paw Paw if'n his Spirit Guide - our brother the Otter- would be interested in pontificatin' at the solemn nuptials. It sure would be nice. Of course, the final plans for the weddin' are up to Rosie and Maxie's Ma and Da. We'll abide with whatever decision they make, just as long as our sweethearts and us get to jump over the willow branch together. Mnay much loves, Tater and Odie (We's still scratchin' our headbones and tryin' to make sense out of what Mee Maw and Paw Paw done said. It makes sense, though. Guess it falls under the category of 'Hard Sayins". [Posted in FML issue 1613]
