Show THE GOOD OLD DAYS "Now when I was young . . ." How many times have you heard that phrase? When you got home at two instead of 11 the other night, what did your dad say? Yep, you guessed it. But did you ever listen in on a session when your aunt came to visit? Poor dad, he sits there and boils, while auntie fills you up with what he did. The time he trapped the skunk. Boy, did he have fun chasing kids down the street, till Ma buried his clothes. And the time he stole old man Jones' apples and got buckshot instead? Then there was the time he ran away because Pa wouldn't let him take the matched team. And then he got so sick when he smoked cornhuck cigs for the first time. All this time dad has grown slightly smaller. Well, don't laugh up your sleeve too long. After all, one of these days you'll be saying, "Now, when I was young . ." RAVONNE MCKNIGHT |
