WOW - so many suggestions Big Grin

Lets see, he definately has plumber potential.

Mechanic - umm, good idea, but its the least paid qualified profession for the amount of training you have to do.


Chippendale - NOOOOO!! That would mean I wouldnt be able to go anymore. Wink

Explorer - well Mory, he certainly does like to taste everything. Dog Food and Cat Food are his staple diet, along with Sticks and Dirt. No wonder he doesnt want to eat his vegies at dinner.

My Dad courted my mother on his Harley - with mom in the sidecar. They went to a local hotel for their anniversary each year until I was four. That year I was mad at being co

uped up - so stuffed the room toilet.. Mom said she wished she had married a plumber.. While they were cleaning up the mess I went out the door and got on the elevator and
ran away. Mom found me on the first floor
talking to the elevator mechanic who was
attempting to explain what made it go..The hotel for me was like going to Disneyland. When I traveled I Had my baby
blanket & yellow duck. The duck is gone but
found my baby blanket in the cedar chest
last week. It's light blue cotton with the words Baby in the middle and is edged in satin.
Mom's answer to where the toilet water
went was it Went to "China". When dad would ask where something went or was I'd say - maybe it went to China.
The Duck was made before plastic but of a similiar material - they also used to make kewpie dolls from it in the 30's. It was very fragile. Mom said she paid a nickle for it in Woolworths in 1934.
One day when I was fighting with my brother four years older - he smashed it.
He also spent my five Indian head pennies on a popsickle. So I told dad he was smoking corn silk. We both got no dinner
and sent to bed. My brother climbed out the window and pulled carrots from the garden for us to eat. We ate a lot of carrots...
Smile Hi Mory,
Thanks for the clarification about the duck. I hope you beat up your brother for breaking it (if he did it on purpose). He clearly crossed the line. Harming a duck is one thing I cannot abide.

Sounds as though you and brother were little hellions. If I had done that I would have eaten dinner standing up for awhile! Of course that was back in the days when it wasn't a felony to discipline your children.
