I thought you'd all enjoy this story: There's a lady in my Weight Watchers meeting. She's in her 70s, and she's called "Miss Kitten." (Her name is Caroline.) She's a retired school teacher, lived here all her life. Yesterday we were waiting in line to weigh in at the meeting, and she looked out the window and saw a Sheriff's Department car park on the curb in front of the Monroe Aquatics and Fitness Center, where we meet. A young deputy got out in exercise clothes and walked to the entrance.

Miss Kitten said, "Look at that boy! He parked right in front, when he could park across the street, there's nothing wrong with him! Old people need to park close."

"When I go to church on Sunday, I'm going to tell [Union County Sheriff] Eddie Cathey, 'Eddie, you have to talk to your boys about bein' considerate. Tell them, park across the street.' I'm going to say, 'Now, what if it was your Mama, Eddie, and she wanted to park by the door, and there was some healthy young deputy parked there?' You talk to those boys!' "

By this point, everyone at the meeting was in stitches. I'm sure if Miss Kitten sees Eddie on Sunday and chews him out, he'll say, "Yes ma'am, Miss Kitten. I'll tell the boys they can't just park by the door, because old people need to park there!"

When I get to my seventies, I’m going to be irascible.

(That’s why I’ve been practicing.)

I love your Miss Kitten! She could also whack him across the shins with her cane!
