The possibility of more additions to their "extended family?"

I dunno. But if you're hugging-up on/interviewing a 10 yo mere hours after she's watched her mother converted to roadkill, then you really shouldn't be expecting much in the way of coherent condemnations. Or a local news Emmy.

First, Seekonk is spitting distance from Providence, RI and I know that street well. My last visit there a doberman lunched my left nut and I spent the next 8 hours in shock performing ER standup. As in, 'Opps! I dropped one!'

edit: I just checked and it was my right nut. Sorry.

I don't joke about my nuts. In fact, the only thing that kept that story from the national news wire was my wife. I'll dig out my on-the-scene account later.

I did stretch one detail, though. It happened in 1991 and I've since visited Seekonk, many, many times. My last girl friend and her family lived there.

I didn't presume you were joking - the very best stories are always true.

One thing I didn't know before that mishap is many young male mammals have a reflex response to immediate danger. Their testicles retract.

Otherwise, if you heard rather than read my account of this particular pain story, I'd squeak an octave higher.

What's that sweet, coppery smell? Ratings!
