Cute picture, but, obviously, do NOT let your cats anywhere near mothballs.

I was raised in a time when women were transitioning from 1950s traditional housekeeping roles, which absorbed most former Rosie the Riveters back into helpless little females who couldn't survive without a man. I was raised with those voices in one ear, and the Women's Movement in the other. In that weird environment, I received for Christmas of my sixteenth year a "hope chest." This was a place where the future homemaker could store her future blankets, linens, and dish towels, just waiting for the day that Prince Charming rides up to carry me and my cedar chest away to happily-ever-after land. I never believed any of that. My father died when I was very young, so I already knew that happily-ever-after didn't exist. So I hit the road with the first "Prince" of my life, who had no room in his pickup truck for the chest. I didn't actually get it from my parents' house till I finished all my degrees and bought my own house.

More commonly known as "moth balls".
