Old Wives etc
Re Science of Yesteryear
Aunt Dorothea snapped “You could plant potatoes in those ears!
A boy went deef in this town!”
And Aunt Jill told him that if he kept insisting on making stupid
faces, his would freeze into the absolute worst one. Forever!
Uncle Reo could rival the aunts: “If you pull on it too much,
you’ll go crazy! Uh? How are you now, by the way?”
“Birdsong!” he answered. “Albany! Roto Rooter Roto Rooter
Roto Rooter!”
“You’re bullshitting, but they really got cases...”
So...growing up in a family wary and funny.
