quite normal

"What are your symptoms?  
Do you feel baffled
Bewildered
Confused?  
A little edgy?  
Frightened?  
Puzzled?

"Yes, yes!" cried Lionel, "all of that!"

Good," said Dr. Tudbelly, "you're quite normal."
~ Lloyd Alexander, The Cat who Wished to be a Man

  1. what a terrific drawing Minn, and the quote is perfect, lol. Now I've got to go look up the book the quote came from, I mean, any book entitled "the cat who wished to be a man" has to be good, right?? LOL.

    Many hugs to you,
    Jenn
