The Kite Runner & Fuzz Balls

I had heard about the Kite Runner for a long time and what a good book it was, well i've just got WAY too many books in the line-up to read, so I rented the movie. It was SO good. It was moving, sad, horrid, hopeful, etc, etc. I think I cried 3 different times in it. It was on the same level as the movie Hotel Rwanda to me (even though The Kite Runner is fictional, there are a lot of truths about the middle east). If you have not seen this movie, I highly suggest it. (and if you haven't seen Hotel Rwanda, you HAVE to see that!)

On another lighter, funnier note...... I was out doing yard work the other day and the girls were outside playing, when along came a little cat. So they were petting it and asking if it was a boy or girl, so I said "Let me check" and proceeded to do the usual check of the under carriage. Well, it was a boy. So Faye says "how do you know it's a boy?" and I said "you look under the tail to see if it has little balls" (I know, crass, but how else do you explain to a 5 and 3 year old? Then Daphne says "Oh, I see, he has little fuzz balls". Her desciption was even better than mine.
