Apparently, cats have questions.
This little girl looked up some answers.
Today's Question: If you could learn any old-timey jobs or crafts, which ones would you like to learn? I just found a relative (back in the mid 1800s) who was married to a draper who employed 6 men, so was doing pretty well. He died quite young and, after a few years of widowhood, his wife - who had five daughters - became a pawnbroker! So I think I'll go with that - sounds like fun.

-Just wing it!?
- Cry?
- Shout? This, mostly. I'll only cry if there's someone around who might take pity on me, and take over.
- Assemble a sandwich instead?
-Other?
