“Tall…Dark…and Handsome, DADDY”
If and… or even if ‘you’… just happen to be are the first child in the FAMILY – – count yourself especially blessed – – since you receive so much attention. This is a real learning ‘HOW’ and also a first class ‘HANDS-ON’ stress related situation – – that as a newly married couple – – you received no instructions – – on what this real “LIVE-DOLL” – – that speaks in cries – – never seems to be filled with the baby food – – and only sleeps for vary long periods of time – – when traveling long distances – – Missouri to Ohio and back.
“What a wonderful child this is and she was especially selected for you… if necessary… read the BIBLE, Psalm 139.
It would not do any good… NOW… but – – if you look at DADDY’s right hand – – he either was born smoking – – or he has large amounts of money invested in the “CAMEL” cigarette company?
Here we are… in Circleville, OHIO – – – at “Grand-Mother McClarren” house – – every SPRING and FALL – – just like clock-work – – my DADDY would drive all of us – – and I’ll bet at least at “100 miles an hour” – – at night – – no traffic – – and we “babies” would all sleep – – that is until the automobile would stop.
“WOW” – – My MOTHER had told me that – – as long as the motor was running – – I would be sound asleep – – but from time to time they had to make stops for gas and food – – and … whatever – – then… I would let the ‘whole wide world’ know… that my sleep was being disturbed – – and if… there is to be ‘PEACE in the WORLD’ – – get that “motor running’ and… NOW!
It is funny… when you stop to think back – – some of the silly things you remember – – but when I put two and two together – – I have a radio in my bedroom – – and when I want to sleep – – there is a station I turn on – – I start to listen and want to hear every word – – but since I have it turned so low – – that it must be the same as that automobile motor running – – at just the right decibel that puts me to sleep – – just as the traveling in the automobile did so many years ago.
Some of the silly things that can come to mind – – when it is a day to remember your DAD – – and also… for your MOTHER – – and even when it comes TIME to remember the members in the FAMILY their extra special days… like their ‘BIRTHDAYS’ – – just any and so many other occasions – – I think I shall chalk this ‘all’ up to… “Keeping the BRAIN YOUNG AGAIN” – – If one does not keep the old “BODY” active – – you ‘can be’ rolled around here and there – – but… without ‘the marbles’ running around in the… “Old noggin” – – you will end up… just sitting around… like “Yesterday’s Old News!”
