Even worser (heh heh) is to see my mom's hands come out of the sleeves of my shirt. No acorns here. Oak trees don't like this part of the world.

They bat them around the house and pick them up to carry them off to where the other cat cannot have them - or to where they will sound better. An acorn batted around the bathroom sounds LOUD.<br />And much more to the point my father used to use the pint of feathers versus the pint of lead with me.
