"Be Thankful, and Say Nothin."

Naturally, of course, I felt mighty
sorry for Bunk Weatherford that day.
1 wanted to make him feel better in
stead of worse, If I could, and l didn't
bring the subject up with him. But it
is my own private, personal opinions
that him and Mandy use to brag and
take on too everlastin much about their
boys. For a long time they made out
like they didn't want nothin' but boys
at their house. Bunk he preached forth
the doctrine that poor folks didn't have
no business with anything but boys.
They wanted pillow hands and wood
choppers and rail splitters, and, to hear
them tell it, they didn't need no girls
in their business. But bye-and-bye the
good Lord took and give them one little
girl baby, anyhow, which they called
her name Mittie, and then, by gracious
they thought it was the onlyest one ii.
the round created world. No wonder it
was SO powerful hurtin on them to give
up little Mittie.
My notion is that people ought tc
take what shey can git, and be thankful,
and say nothin. 1t don't make a blessed,
blame bit of difference with ne how
many babies tsanagood Lord and the doc
tors bring around by my house. l
wouldn't feel natural and right, and !
wouldn't be happy without a gang OF
them around the place. But I will never
ston TO put in no questions as to whether
they must be boys or girls. And 1t
wouldn't jar my hand any whether they
come one or two or three in the burr.
