[QUOTE]Originally posted by BuyTex: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by bdgee: [qb] That's a sad memory to be an earliest. My own earliest is of sitting in the bed beside my paralized grandmother while she told me stories. I don't know how old I was, only that she died when I was about 1 1/2 yeas old. I also remember (and believe it was later) standing looking out the back screen door as a tornado stripped the sheet metal covered barn that was maybe 40 yards behind the house away. I recall being facinated rather than scared and I couldn't understand why my mother shook so and wouldn't (maybe couldn't) explain to me what it had been. At night, my grandfather would stand me on the arm of his chair and sip his "toddy" while teaching me to recite poetry and admonishing me to never trust a man that wouldn't smoke a cigar or that wouldn't have a beer before bed time. I still recall line or two from one poem: "The boy stood on the burning deck, Eating peanuts by the peck." I remain skeptical of male tea tottlers and those that refuse a good cigar. Those are all very good memories.....not sad. [/qb][/QUOTE]we're gonna have to start a different thread, fellllaz, lol... poetry? I can *see* my "Momma Nellie" in her long "nightclothes," straight from the 19th-century, musta been late 70s-early 80s...RISE UP from her chair in the living room...and start reciting poetry! RHYME...that made sense, not mere nursery-room jingles...but great heroic stories.... How wonderful to be exposed to that, as a young child... [/QB][/QUOTE]
