Bill Cady, The Early Years … by Bill Cady 24<br />

on a weekend afternoon, she told him to go piss up a rope. That made no sense, but I was<br />

always careful enough to look it over before I picked up any rope I found.<br />

Okay, I mentioned a guy. Someone who got past me unseen. It was always when<br />

Dad gave an order and I knew Mom didn‟t like it. That night, some guy with a real<br />

whiny voice would get inside their bedroom and beg someone for something. He‟d<br />

whine and whine, and whimper and wail, the sniveling bastard. It was like he‟d die if he<br />

didn‟t get his own way.<br />

I knew that voice wasn‟t Mom, „cause she made a very soft and pretty sound<br />

when she talked. I knew it wasn‟t Dad, because his voice was deeper than that. It was<br />

more like a choir boy who‟d been kicked in the nuts one time too many and all his words<br />

were squeaky. There was only one thing that kept me from going into their bedroom and<br />

using my Tonka truck to brain that crybaby asshole. He was evidently lobbying for<br />

something I still thought I wanted.<br />

I vacillated back and forth on Bootsie, long gone by now. Damned near two<br />

years, ever since they bought that David thing. Although I hated cats, and would until the<br />

last day of my life, Bootsie was special. She was different than all the other cats. She‟d<br />

never hurt me, and I knew it.<br />

Jumping ahead a couple decades, substitute any woman‟s name for my cat‟s and<br />

you‟ll see just how well women have guys trained. Those are the same words to be heard<br />

from some dipshit who just got his clock cleaned in divorce court when he defends the<br />

fact he‟s gonna marry some other woman. You girls are smart, damn it. Very, very<br />

smart. Oh, and adroit, as well.<br />

Anyway, the cause this lobbyist was espousing is what kept me from banging the<br />
