The Kitten Scandal; Part 4

But this is old Bloess and I'm going to try to wind up his story today about the kitten scandal because I think we've heard just about enough about them kittens. But I wanted to tell you that when I got home the next morning the first one down here at my house was Flossie Butts and she asked me did I have a good time up there and I said well no not particular and she said well what in the world did you go up there for? And I said Flossie Butts I said I asked you what was going on up there and the only thing you would tell me was that the devil was on the loose up there and I said if he was I didn't see him but I don't know what the old devil looks like so he might have been there and I didn't see him but anyway I said I just want to find out what was going on because wouldn't nobody tell me and I said now I found out and I said I probably won't never go back up there again because I don't care nothing about that and she said well what if your daughter what if you found your daughter doing that kind of thing what would you think? And I said well I'm going to tell you Flossie I said I've raised my girl and I've tried to do the best I could to raise her right and I said whatever my girl does and I said she says right now she's going to be scientific because she she likes being you know science and so if she does that that's good and I said if she does something else that's alright too whatever my daughter does she's going to have my support because I raised her and I tried to raise her right but I said once she gets grown I said I can advise her and I can make suggestions to her but she's going to have to be whatever she wants to be and I said it's up to me to support her and be and just be a daddy to her because if I don't what I'm going to do is run her off I said what you do you call that uh alienating that means that you run them off they don't have nothing else to do with you and I said if she gets married if she has kids well I hope she'll feel like coming down here and and let me get to know my grandkids and I said so I'm going to have to respect her whatever she does well she didn't say nothing else Flossie butts did but she said we're going to shut that them kittens down up there and I said well if you can do it that's fine so what they done they had a meeting up there with the board whatever they call them a council or whatever they call themselves that run the church up there and they decided that they was going to have a revival and so they had a revival up there and they had uh you know a preacher come out from Memphis and he was talking about the you lewd and immoral behavior and they they said what they said was that they saved about 40 people up there and uh I didn't say nothing about it but about 35 of them people was people that I'd seen up there when I was up there at Carl's place but I didn't say nothing about it and uh what they was going to do they was going to have a dinner that Saturday to sort of uh show that uh them kittens you know didn't command no uh attention no more that they could have a church activity and and people would go to that and wouldn't go up there to see them kittens and so what they done is they they fixed up a big meal they had old Herman come out here and he he done the barbecue and they had every kind of food you could think of you know potato salad and baked beans and cold slaw and and and uh catfish and just everything you could think of and uh so I went up there you know I like I told you I don't go to that church up there and I don't have nothing again I think they're doing a good community service but I went up there just to get some free dinner because I'll take a free meal anytime I can get it and uh and I don't care one way or the other about whether they shut the kittens down or not but anyway I went up there to see the to eat the dinner and I noticed that it was mainly women up there that it was mainly there was a few but uh mainly just women was up there and I think I know where the men was but I didn't say nothing about it I just ate my dinner and and come on back home but old flossy but she was really disappointed that they didn't have a better show and you better turn out than what they had and uh of course I can tell her why they didn't get to turn out but I think she kind of suspicions it anyway and uh so that's uh that's pretty much the end of the story but they they own this uh they own a tire right now but something else will come up and they'll get on another uh another subject or another activity or another cause you know they have these causes up here in this church and and that's the best thing it can happen it'll blow over up here and and they'll get off of this and they'll get on to something else and that's probably the best thing for them to do because they can't do nothing about them them them kittens up there and they might as well forget it
