+
+Once upon a time my mother found a kitten. This kitten was a very
+skittish tiny kitten and hid behind the fridge for days eluding
+capture. Thus my mother bestowed the quite American name *Maytag* upon
+the tiny gray kitten.
+
+Eventually my mother accepted that her dog and the kitten would never
+get along, and the cat had taken a liking to me, and thus Maytag
+became my ward.
