Visit us online at www.1stWorldLibrary.ORG - - Im something like the old maid you read about - the one who always knows all about babies and just how to bring them up to righteous maturity; Ive got a mighty strong conviction that I know heaps that my dad never thought of about the proper training for a healthy male human. I dont suppose Ill ever have a chance to demonstrate my wisdom, but, if I do, there are a few things that wont happen to my boy. If Ive got a comfortable wad of my own, the boy shall have his fun without any nagging, so long as he keeps clean and honest. He shall go to any college he may choose - and right here is where my wisdom will sit up and get busy. If Im fool enough to let that kid have more money than is healthy for him, and if I go to sleep while hes wising up to the art of making it fade away without leaving anything behind to tell the tale, and learning a lot of habits that arent doing him any good, I wont come down on him with both feet and tell him all the different brands of fool hes been, and mourn because the Lord in His mercy laid upon me this burden of an unregenerate son. I shall try and remember that hes the son of his father, and not expect too much of him. Its long odds I shall find points of resemblance a-plenty between us - and the more cussedness he develops, the more I shall see myself in him reflected.
