Daddy Owen: My they certainly like grabbing each other! Oh hello it’s nice to see you again come on in. Welcome to my reading nook. would you like to hear a story? I thought you might. Well I’ve got a French classic called “Madeline and the bad hat”.

In an old house in Paris that was covered with vines, lived twelve little girls in two straight lines - that’s how Catholics do things. One day the Spanish ambassador moved into the house next door. Look my darlings what bless what joy, the Excellency has a boy. Little catholic girls love Spanish boys. Madeline said it is evident that this little boy is a bad hat - I don’t know what that means.

Something suddenly went zing boom! He certainly hit that. Causing pain and shock surprise during morning exercise - sometimes that really does cause pain, it seems to me he needs an outlet for his energy. A chest of tools might be attractive for a little boy that’s very active, oh but that boy was really mean, he built himself a Guillotine - how very French. There’s the horrified orphans staring in the background! This boy is simply misunderstood look at him bringing those doggies food.

He said lets have a game of tag, and he let a cat out of the bag oh they are really on him this is not good. And now just listen to the poor boy cry, which you must cry if by any chance you’re ever in need of help in France, you probably wont get it but at least you asked.

Nothing said the ambassador will cheer our poor Pappito more, than a visit from next door - I know that feeling. So all the girls put on their best outfits and go over next door. Only one visitor at a time - will you go in first miss Madeline? That’s how I like it too, just one at a time. Madeline went in on tiptoe and she whispered can you hear me Pappito? It serves you right you horrid brat, for what you did to that poor cat. Pappito’s really messed up here - he’s ravaged I would say. I’ll never hurt another cat Pappito said, I swear to that. I’ve learned my lesson please believe I’m turning over a new leaf. That’s fine she said, I hope you do we will all keep our eyes on you. Which is cruel to use the plural of eyes, since obviously he has had one of his eyes gouged out.

He’s love of animals was such - even Miss Clavel said it’s too much - I saw a fellow on Youtube had that problem, and Miss Clavel turned out the light she said I knew it would all come out right. oh and here is the final image, the little girls walking and there is the little boy fishing. He’s a vegetarian but F*** fish.
