The Barn by Ralph Hagen for March 13, 2010

You just need to deal with it for now, little one!

Yes Rory! Suck it up, kid! “You can’t always get what you want!”

The first time I heard “Suck it up” was at a Don Ho concert at the Greek Theatre………..

Hang on Sloopy, Sloopy hang on!!!!

We all have our crosses to bear….

I don’t think Rory’s in any shape to face a cross bear, Marg!

Until now….I didn’t realize Rory had such a pointy head. It’s amazing what a bit of fluff will cover.

Well, that just sucks! Sorry Rory.

The key is to float like a butterfly and sting like a bee.

SHE had me bring my male cat to get shaved Tuesday. I shaved in solidarity for my male brother. Now I have to shave everyday. SHE is sending me with the female cat Monday. Poor cats are going to look like sausages.

Poor Rory….naked….confused….rejected.

~Nice knobby noggin though.

Maybe you should become the Oh Great Wise Ram’s apprentice it looks like he still has all his wool

But a butterfly emerges changed.

I don’t want to change.

I have a Professor who tells us to suck it up too. Usually when we complain we have too much homework.

OH THE HORROR ! WHERE IS HIS STRAY CURLY LITTLE HAIR !

Poor Rory! Don’t worry, it will grow back soon, fuller and fluffier than before.

Rory can take comfort in having good gripper toes.

A butterfly has to give up its fibrous covering before it can be free.
