SHORTLY AFTER WE WED

51 years ago, I talked my husband into getting a calico kitten we named Penny. Reading Connie Thompson’s story “Pick Extra for Daisy” (June/ July, page 64) put a big smile on my face. Like Daisy, Penny loved to eat sweet corn!

Once, I came home from work to find that my husband and mom had left sticky corn all over the kitchen while preparing the corn for freezing. The last straw was when I saw Penny. She looked like a black, white and yellow balloon covered with sticky corn sugar! Apparently, she had been left free to help herself to cobs all day. What a mess!
