You've told me this story before and it's a good one. Do you ever wonder what your stories will be? <br /><br />I have a relative that, while visiting our house when I was little, peed off the back porch because the bathroom was full. Where he was from that wasn't such a big deal because he lived miles from other houses. However, in the suburbs of St. Louis it didn't really go over all that well with my mother. As you can imagine.<br /><br />Authors know this and use it all the time. We were discussing Missing May the other day. Ob has his whirligigs. May her garden. Cletus his suitcase full of magazine clippings. These are all endearing - certainly more so than public urination.<br /><br />And me? Well, I guess someone might one day write a poem about how much I hated Wal-Mart. Ugh, I hope there's more than that!Mr. Hass' Classhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01966423580619691843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5578299375433383985.post-34446808108769547302014-01-24T09:48:49.157-08:002014-01-24T09:48:49.157-08:00Thanks, Tim.
