Article and drawing by Tracy Williams Cheney

The children especially liked to hear tales about their own parents when they were growing up. It was so hard to imagine their being little kids! It was even harder to imagine Grandma and Grandpa as children.

"Grandpa, did you ever get yourself into a funny spot when you were a kid?" someone asked.

Grandpa leaned back in his chair with a twinkle in his eye. "Well, I certainly didn't think it was funny at the time!" he exclaimed. "But one time I thought I was being very clever and got into a fix."
