GOOGIE:
"We were awl going about our day, mom was up, and Ah was waitin' for her to come on down when suddenly, Ah heard a blood-curdling scream.
It was mah boy. Mah boy was in pain and anguish, Ah knew it.
Next thang Ah knew, he was rumbling down the steps, utter horror in his eyes.
"DAD!! DAD!! She hurt me! She hurt me Dad!! Please keep her away from me Dad! Aww my tail hurst SO BAD! Getty had been right ALL those times!! It's TRUE!!! "
Ah didn't know what to make of it.. Momma done hurt Mah Boy? How could it BE? She came on down herself after him, she was bare-skinned and saying "I'm sorry! Awww...!! " Meanwhile, Mah Boy kept running away from her, his eye all big and dark and wide.
Ah stood between them, Mah Boy tryin' to hide under the table near mah Little Getty, and mom on mah other side. Ah did not lose mah cool, Ah stood there contemplatin' the situation and Ah looked up at mom's eyes, searching for a reasonable answer.
"It was an accident, Gabriel...", she explained, as she stroked mah back. That felt good. "Please explain it to him.. it was an a-c-c-i-d-e-n-t..", she said calmly, slowly... plaintively. She too was worried.
Ah took a few steps toward Mah Boy.. Ah had to fand out what had happened first. Everyone else was around us now, Bella wanting to know too, mah Pipi looking a little worried.. And of course, Little Getty saying' "I TOLD you SO!! ".
Ah stepped up to mah Baby and looked him in the eye, sniffed and air-nosetipped as Ah stretched mah neck toward him. "What happened, hawneh? Tale it to me slowly.. What were you doing?"
"Daddy my TAIL! My tail hurt SO bad all of a sudden, and all I know was ...SHE was right there when it happened! I was... I was behind that door in her little room and next thing I know, she showed up and I saw her hand on the door! And my tail ..My TAIL Daddy!!"
Ah was now able to ascertain exactly what had happened... Momma was right: Eet WAS an "accident". After all, she did say the "I'm sorry" words.. So Ah explained to Mah Boy: "Hawney, your tail just got caught up where eet didn't belong! SHE really had nothing to do with it... SHE did not mean to hurt you.. That is what she means when she makes that "accident" sound, do you understand? Sometames, these thangs happen..
And no, Little Getty was NOT right. "
Ah was relieved to see Mah Boy settle down and relax about it.. Momma done call him and he finally went to her. He trusted us, he kept his faith... And continued to love momma.
He understood the meaning of "accident".
