The Back Page is where the feet go up on the desk at the end of the day. It’s that good book with a mug of hot cocoa just before bed. It’s where we goof off after a hard day’s work. The Back Page is our blog.

“Tell me, Rabbit, how did you get so dirty?”

“I didn’t, Mother.  The dirt got me.”

“Don’t get smart with me.”

“Would you rather I get dumb? I told you. The dirt got me. I was just scampering about, Mother. The dirt found me.”

“Mother, I plead with you. Just live. The dirt will fall from my fur eventually. Trust.”
