Long ago, when my brother and I were growing up, my father didn’t like my mother calling us kids, because he grew up on a farm and to him, kids were baby goats.
From a large Germanic family. Child=Kind, and the final d has a distinct t sound. Plus we were constantly climbing on top of everything, and eating most everything in sight.
Remembering the earlier strip, when Syrius mentioning he is not sure “if he is coming or going” at around sixth grade when I was 11 or 12 I could not understand the aversion other children had at being called “children” instead of “kids” by a teacher. It meant the same thing.

shouldn’t that line be “and don’t have horns ABOVE their lids”? having horns UPON their lids would make it hard to open and close their eyes.

It’s all good until someone gets your goat; which is why I leave mine at home.

Roses are red, and sometimes white. Or yellow or pink. This is free verse.
