: that NCli-knOWll sea -uoS, Oapt.
~ Kidd. once said Every dog
"A has his day hut Mothers have
4 4 no hour limit to theirs"
And how true that is pretty
near overcome me the last time inns
present Annie Nersery come around.
BY which ! mean to SAY. that Just eX-
actlY one wear ago was Mothers day,
The same as today is, and ii was then
hat | realized The great truth Of the
quotation as PEI see above. In other
words. | woke up on the day which
solved the problem Of what TO do with
white carnations and realized it was
Mothers day just about the same time
that Junior got the same idea.
Not that he had amy sentimental
feelings about how grand it is 10 have
y mother and etc. but he sure
realized ii was my day in a more per
Sonal serse. t'o" about five AIN. he
commenced hollering for me. Say
Ma, it's raining, he yelled right INTO
my dreams. Hey. it's raining Ma.
come shu, mE Winde.. Ma, I'll set all
wet.
Well naturally. that woke George.
That's my husband. up. 100. and
George at once also realized il was
Mothers day. y: least il was soon
plain he didn't thiuk il was Eathcr'S-
not Father day to get UP. anyways.
OF course I says shut up, Junior. II s
TOO early TO set awake. Then | say 5
- George 20 in and close Nu)r child 5
winder. cam'trha2 And George merely
saws 'urSuh,
Well anyways. / ,!oScd the window
and told Junjur L. hush up aud go
back 10 sleep. 50 Junior got his cute
little drum. and commenced 10 beat
uit it real sott. meanwhile ralling 10
me. see Ma Ina being real quiet. ain't t
I. are YOU asleep. Ma Which | nat
prally by then wasn't 50 ! got up
asain. and told Junior he could now
uo the same. more sleep being by then
something HAT didn't even enter the
question.
So | went "u down stairs and fixed
he coffee. ANA then set II on the table,
aud Junior set his foot in il, and after
had mothered the foot and made
some more coffee, and got Junior 5
..ereal onto the table. why ! found he
had gone ont in the back ward with
,Ht his pants So | called him back.
and reminded him cf The pants. And
then 7 set down 10 the breakfast table
when ] seen the real estate III his
ears. so I says. why Junior jules.
a!n't YOU ashamed Of yourself. why
amt YOU washed your ears Ana he
says, why Ma. ! never wash my ears
stars no wonder my hair is turning
grey. go do so at once. And Junior
SAYS how will I turn grey, Ma? Ana

lust then the phone rang. and
- who would it he only that Mabel
Bush. the one that's married TO Joe
Bush of the Hawthorne Club. And
4 -nIth
news. Mrs. Goofnah' : mother is dead.
And I saws no, And Mabel says yes,

And I SAYS why how terrible. what
did she die of? And Mabel says why
understand il was a severe case or
sudden death SO we talked a while
and then we hung up. and at once
called ND the Greenbough Florist Inc.
ana ordered Il funeral wreath.
ordered lilies. with a purple ribbon
and Rest In Peace" on it. and then
! hung up again. There / thought.
that will show Mrs. Goofnah how |
appreciated what it means TO be
mother And after that | went right
on putting the art of Raising Cain
and being Able into active practice.
On account this was one of the
mornings when Jr. just naturally
would not eat riS food properly.
There is times when that child tries
10 absorb noUrishment WITH every
hing except his face, and this was
one OF them. But after | had Scraped
The oatmeal out of his hair. extracted
the mar7nalade from his necktie and
inserted my opinion of a boy of his
age who ate like that in his ear. why
| was free to enjoy my own break
fast uninterrupted except by George
who come down at the ham-and-eSS
course, and haddei- be waited on.
Well naturally. Will" ! waited on
him in one sense, also waited on
him in the other il YOU get what |
