It was then I got the tattoo.  I cropped my shoulder-length hair into a buzz and dyed it purple.  It felt dirty, battered and unnecessary.  I wanted to die.  Dad loaded me into the car and took me to Pa Pa.  On the drive he said, "Connie Jean, you are out of control."

This true story, set on an Oklahoma farm in the fifties, is written for kids from nine to ninety.  Two eyes appeared, barely visible in the darkness of the drainpipe.  When the face broke into light, it wasn't a rabbit, but the pointed nose of a skunk.  Bub had his stick started in a swing before he realized what he was about to hit.  He let the stick go spinning into midair.  The skunk came shuffling out of that drainpipe fairly unconcerned.  Unfortunately for us all, both dogs dived into the poor skunk.  "Run, Sissy, run..."

When the car appeared at the cattle guard I stopped and stared. "I don't like him." I said.  Bub let out a husky laugh that rolled over the field. "You must have real good eyesight, Sissy.  I can't even see him yet."  "Well," I said in a huff, "I don't like him.  Neither does Shorty."  My dog thumped his tail against my leg in agreement.  Then, in an attempt to have some control over the situation I blurted, "Shorty and I are gonna stop this divorce."
