Bed-Time Stories

My almost-14-year-old daughter, Chickie, still has a pretty good case of "Hero-Daddy-Worship".

She just poked her head into my office and asked me to "tuck her in", and "tell a story" about when I was young.

I try to dredge up, from the dim mists of memory, stories about how it was, 'way back when, or even not so far back.

I do try to keep them entertaining, albeit with lessons from life.

She seems to like this "tucking-in" routine.

She's a Good Kid, and I'm very pleased with her.

Except when I'm sorely tempted to resort to regular beatings...

She is, after all, 'mostest 14....
