Why I'm an Only Child and Other Slightly Naughty Plains Folktales

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) One day Roger Welsch ventured to ask his father a delicate personal question: Why am I an only child?

More narrative than simple jokes, and the product of multiple retellings, these coarse tales were even delivered by such prudish sources as Welsch s stern and fearsome German great-aunts. Speaking of cucumbers and sausages in a toast to a newly married couple, the prim and proper women of Welsch s memory...
