Baby's Second Word

Little Chetelina Atkinson was back at The Whistle & Thistle this morning. It was only 10 days ago that she spoke her first word, right there at The W&T.

“Favre!”

Today her father, Chet, was crying into his persimmonmeal.

“What’s wrong with him?” asked Edith Whistle.

“Chetelina has learned a new word,” said Roselina.

“That’s good, isn’t it?” asked Edith.

“Not if it’s…”

“Retire! Favre! Retire!” cried Chetelina.


[Author’s Note: In the obits of the Princeton, IN newspaper online today, there was one for a woman named “Nicyann.” Durn. Now I can’t use that in PC.]
