When one is dressed
To be impressedOne is often stressed
And can get messed
Especially in security, so pour some tea, don’t you see?
Pour a cup for you and me! Another for he, that makes three!
Oh no! Alas! Behold this impasse!
We spilled and though thrilled by his uniform shield, he wield his field to scrub till(‘d) it be clean!
That’s not mean
That’s the scene
During times this lean
Gotta be clean
So he strip and scrub and put it in the tub
And then he puts it on again.

Mom used to me that constantly, thinking it would make up for her allergies/apartment policies forbidding pets. It did not.
We eventually did get one cat, but we had to give him away due to allergies. He went to a loving family.
Mom tried to fill the gap with birds and fish, and they worked but not particularly well. I still miss my birds, most of them lives to a ripe old age, but seeing them pass away was hard on me.
We got very lucky with one cat we got when I was much older- mom wasnt allergic to her for some reason. But she passed away suddenly and the shock was so great for mom she refused to get another pet.

Not specific to Cap's case, but in general for small town and farm kids in the Midwest, this is somewhat routine. Not usually to the extreme that Cap's parents took it, but yeah, this is generally how we get taught not to name every cow, pig, and chicken on the farm.

My X-wife did that to our kids. (AFTER we separated) ;P
She moved to a 'farm', and bought cows, and pigs, and named each one like a pet. And basically told the kids they were their pets.
I told her I would have at least named them honestly.
"THIS pig is 'Bacon', THIS pig is 'Sausage', THIS pig is 'Christmas Ham',..."

The whole thing with naming a farm creature as a pet then turning it into food is actually a plot point in the anime Silver Spoon.

My parents weren't extreme, they were dirt poor, we butchered everything ourselves if we wanted enough protein to feed ten people.
It just so happens I was the only one who woke up before noon so I got all the hard jobs.

Clarification. I don't mean to say/imply your parents were extreme people. I know that's not the case. I'm only talking about the part where you had to kill the animal that "you got for your birthday". That's the "less usual" and "more extreme" side of that situation/harsh lesson.

One of my technicians is doomed.
His oldest daughter is 6. He leaves the office every day around 2:20ish to go pick her up from school, then he works the remainder of his day from home.
I just told him as he was packing up "You know, one day she's going to say 'Daddy, why can't I walk home from school?' and on that day you're going to know she's got a boyfriend or girlfriend."
Again, she's 6. I say this kind of crap just to get him riled up. And to a lesser degree, mentally prepared. Because it *will* happen.
He looks at me and says "Just yesterday she told me she has a boy that kisses her, 'but we can't kiss in school unless the teacher's not looking.' I'm not ready for this shit, and you know way too much about things happening in my life without me telling you. Who do you work for? Which agency?"

Tala's mom, who had been in a coma when Tala got pregnant last summer, woke up when she heard about the baby. I don't know if I shared that news, but it was a genuine miracle at the time, and wonderful. Further, she has been doing physical therapy ever since to make sure that by the time the baby was born, she'd be able to make it for the birth.
Labor is being induced next Monday (cause Tala is in "GET IT OUT" mode at this point), and her grandparents surprised her by renting a handicap van just so they can drive her mom up, cause her mom isn't quite ready to ride a airplane, but can at least drive up here.

(This is the same year he had two girls - one of which was her - fighting over him. They haven't been in the same class for the last two years, but they have remained friends.

I think I can say this without getting hit with the political bike:
As is typical in the days before an election, canvassers are running amok in our neighborhood, banging on doors with the regularity of a health nut on a Metamucil and bran muffin diet.
On our door is an elegant little sign that GothBard found and purchased that reads,
"NO
Soliciting
Fundraising
Politics
Salesmen
Religion
Thank You."
I don't know whether it's blowback from the 2018 canvassing (that was amazingly obnoxious), but every single canvasser who has knocked on my door has turned around and walked away, with a sheepish, "Sorry! I didn't see your sign!"
Well-trained canvassers who (almost) respect your sign! Who'd've thunk?
(Of course the Devil's Advocate in me says they're trained to do exactly that so I'll feel sorry for them and listen to their spiel, but I play the Grumpy Old Man card very, very well, thank you!)

I once told a democratic canvasser if they kept knocking on my door I'd vote for Mike Huckabee. No one has knocked on my door for either side since then, and that was a long, long time ago.

Well, what's funny to me is that California became an "open primary" state a decade or two ago, and yet somehow they've gone back to being a "closed primary" state. I have no idea how it works legally, but as an independent, I got to vote for...
...nobody...So the canvassers are wasting their time at my door anyway.

We had a pig every year, for eating. But they are so smart and kind that you always get attached. Luckily I didnt have to kill it myself.
We did end up giving them all the same name, so we could pretend it was just the same pig...|
