A young fish feels that she wants to grow up quickly.

I’ve written my poems, songs, and stories based upon one mainly one boy; the one boy who has held my heart since the day we met on the bus that first day of kindergarten and will hold it forever.

My sister-in-law-Cora is about as dumb as any ring tailed coon that ever climbed a tree. My brother was the most intelligent one in our family and it beats the shucks out of me how he could have chosen such a wife as Cora. That woman has no more sense than a Bessie bug. I despair of how those kids will turn out. I do what I can but what can one woman do with such a one as Cora.
