Queer Ways of Grown Folks
Parents and guardians —grown
folks generally—are a funny lot,
any way you take ’em, says Eu
gene Wood, in The Delineator.
Do you know why they made
such a fuss about your reading a
moral and instructive work like,
“The Skull-Hunter of the Sier
ras?” Well, I can tell you. They
saw that you were having a good
time. They couldn't stand that.
Oh, that cut them to the heart!
They had a heapsight rather you
gaped through “The Lite of the
Rev. James B. Emery. D. D., a
very tedious volume, I need
scarcely say. Just the minute
they saw you enjoying yourself
pouring coal-oil on the cat and
setting her afire, they'd make you
quit it. They wouldn't let you
do a thing that there was any fun
in.
Mind them, and you'd go
straight to school and come right
straight back again, like a galley
slave scouraged to his dungeon.
Mind them, and if there was a
boy that stuck out his tongue at
you and hollered: “Girl- boy, girl
boy! I kin lick you with one
hand tied behind me. Fraidy,
fraidy, fraidy! I'll tell your ma
on you! Hee, fraidy!” you would
not let on you heard him. Paste
him one on the snoot? No, no.
no! Naughty.
Mind them, and you would be
a little tattletale in school and be
100 in everything, deportment
and all, just like a girl. Mind
them, and you would go right at
your chores without having to be
told more than forty-'leven times;
you’d wait at meal times till you
were served, like as if you were a
sick person and had no appetite,
and, after supper you'd commence
on your hbme-work before the
last bite was swallowed, and not
ask pa and ma questions because
they're tired after a hard day’s
rest, and it's better for you any
how to work it all out by your
self. And when you had done
every example, and learned what
the principal products of Para
guay are, and committed to mem
ory that priceless gem to the ef
fect that “a noun is the name of a
person, place or thing.” you
would kiss everybody good-night
like a dear ch'ld, and go to bed
so as to be up bright and early in
the morning.
There’s no pleasing them.
They'll jaw at you: "Why can't
you play quietly? Good land!
you make noise enough to wake
the dead!" Take them at their
word, and it's: “What devilment
are you up to now.' Sonic mis
chief, or you wouldn't be so still
about it.” Suspicious? M-ml
There's no pleasing them, I tell
you. You'd think they were the
whole show to hear them talk,
and just because they teed and
clothe you and all that, they’ve
got a right to boss you.
