twice in a row. And I would always change up who just got one visit in a week. That seemed like the optimal arrangement, cookie-wise. And as I said, I developed a talent for listening. I discovered something else about listening. I got to where I would listen to adults talk to each other, and try to follow what they were saying. I was especially good at getting my radar out when they were trying to “speak over” me so I wouldn’t understand. I would. But the amazing thing was when I made to leave, they would always say, “What a smart little boy you are.” And maybe I was. I don’t listen near as well today. When I’m with my grandsons, I do just about all the talking. But they listen right along, and sometimes ask a question or they might just nod. Then we go to the Dairy Queen for ice cream. But those are two smart young fellas. But I’m off the rails a bit. What my grandsons and the young people of today are los-
ing out on by getting such a jump on education are long, hot summer days that always seemed filled with unplanned adventures. The summers they have today, crammed into a sardine can eight weeks long, hardly get to stretch their legs. Shoot, today’s summers aren’t a patch on the days we would turn back in as hardly used. Those were days like Sundays, when you were all morning at church, then a big Sunday dinner that left you so stuffed, you just lazed around the yard till suppertime and got to eat Sunday dinner all over again. Bless me, those days barely had the shine wore of them. Send those days to the poor kids in Africa to use. As for this year’s crop of scholars, it’s enough to know they are back on the roads and we should all slow down and watch for them getting on and off the Big Cheese. The only good thing is, they just don’t know what they missed out on.
