This story has nothing to do with Cagles, but brought back a memory for me that I want to share..... My Mother had only brothers.....one day when she was in the 4th grade, there was a knock on the classroom door. The teacher answered.....there stood my Mother's little brother, Roy. Roy asked to speak to "Sister", the teacher asked him what her name was & he answered, "Sister". The teacher couldn't get him to say any other name so she said he should come in & go find his sister....my Mother had already slid down in her desk chair in embarrassment when he walked over to her. (Her statement)- "I could've killed him"......on the way home that afternoon, she said she boxed his ears so he'd never embarrass her again & taught him a lesson, as well as her name, Catherine. BTW, the guys are correct about the "Biddie" name, that's what they were when I grew up.....we used to get a colored one for Easter each year.
