Show Chatter Box Dear Suzy, Robert Burns made some classic clas-sic remark about best laid plans or mice and men going astray, and that is a quotation that one should keep well in mind, especially especi-ally Wanda and Fuzz Beckwith. Because after three girls coming into their family and another! baby at the starting post they spent all of their spare time choos ing a name for a girl and decided , unanimously on Stephanie. Wanda, the saving little soul i she is. could the former girls' clothing would do fine for the new baby, and another an-other girl would fit in the household house-hold like an old glove. Fuzz figured fig-ured that he had the boys out-figured out-figured and was so sure of a girl he made a few wagers on same, hoping to garner enough to pay all the bills on said baby, and leave a comfortable nest egg for emergencies that might crop up. The three girls they have are a blonde, brunette and a red head, so the only alternative left to carry on the vast difference in them was to get an albino or a boy. It seems that an albino is a lot more difficult to get than a boy and so they had to settle for said boy. . Even though their plans got messed up the parents are bearing up remarkably well. Wanda has thought for some time that she was too old to have a boy (she is 28) and keeps pinching herself to make sure she Is not dreaming. Fuzz, for an old man, has put quite a spring to his step and Jus chest that slipped so far down and had been that way for the past several years, has some how gone back up again. .If he would buy a toupe to cover up the baldness bald-ness and the grey hair he would look like a new man. sunshine. The sunshine was good and he felt much stronger so he kept walking. Meanwhile Caria thought she had better give him a bath and so went into his room to do so. She was quite surprised when she saw an empty bed and so took out in search of our Eddie. The hospital was bulging at the seams with patients and in to each room went Carla1 asking if Eddie was there, which was very embarrassing to the women patients, especially the woman In the delivery room. Rut Congratulations and presents have been numerous, but the present pre-sent Earl Kelly gave Fuzz has the appearance of locking the barn after the horse was stolen. The I day after he brought Fuzz a dozen I pullet eggs with the instructions, that they were for girl babies, and another dozen double yolked eggs, cautioning Fuzz to take them sparingly as they were for boy babies. . The arrival of the boy baby tossed tos-sed the hospital for quite a loss, and events there this past week have kept them from gaining any yardage at all. .It seems that Eddies Ed-dies Knight is there now minus his appendix. He was told to start taking a little exercise and was doing so, pacing up and down the halls like a good boy but came the other day and it looked nice outside so he went out to see the She didn't find Eddie. Came some time later and Eddie strolled Into the hospital, saying In his quiet way that he had Just taken a little walk. His little walk must have taken him some distance for under 'his arm was some magazines and a change of clothing. In his other hand he carried four cans of beer and an opener. He got a dressing down from the perturbed Carla, and she also gave him an undressing undress-ing and a bath. Eddie has stayed rather close to his room lately and has confined his strolls to the halls. The boys are in a lather here getting ready for the fishing season sea-son to open Saturday. The vast crowd that is going out makes one wonder which end of the line the sucker is on. Toots. |
