I'm beginning . to.. realize ;

goes `through: 'It's tough being
.both."' a • momma. and a poppa.
I'll be .glad when: my wife fin-
ishes . her college course, gets
home, and oan' fight it. out . With
Kim on the old basis, no .holds
barred, recriminations .aplenty;
ferocious' threats, and tears
enough .' to;"wash .:the : kitchen
Last. weekend- I nearly gave
.my wife. 'a . heart attack:. • 'After
spending most of • .the 'weekend •
screwing up my courage, 1 grit-
ted, my teeth, took, a good,stiff
pelt ..of .Walker's Special' Old
nerve tonic, ' and ` ,announced
gravely: .
"Dear, I've got something to
tell you: about Kim. Now . don't
get all upset. Everything will
probably work out for .the
'best."
"She's . not!", she. shrieked.
Oh, my God!"
"I'm afraid; she' is," . 1 . said,
sombrely. "Batt you've got ,to N'
face the facts. You can't, keep a
' kid in the nest forever. _These
things happen in the best of
'families. There are . ` some
things in this .day and• age that
we may not approve of: But
;'.
Well, with hindsight, I'll ''ad-
mit .I was pretty stupid,. But
after my wife had, flown three
times • around .the living -room,
without ever lighting; : it
emerged that we were talking
about different things. '
She, thought Kim 'was peg-,
ndnt. All I was trying to, do,
• -was tell • her something 'even
worse, that Kith had, after giv,
ing me a real 'feminine,' logic=
lens
a , charming con job, joined
"group." She's .been invited
' to play 'the organ ' and. sing • in
one of those• shouting, belting,"
deafening groups that are driv-,
ing every adult over 30 out of
his" little old square mind. .

But my point it that in the
good old ' days,: ,Rim and her
mother Would 'have fought it
out,: with frequent appeals to
me from .each . side,. andboth

to •eat'some breakfast: '
Not -to mention cheering her
up. when she's. down, .'cooling
her 'down' When. ' she's ' all., up- •
tight, telling her to ,pick up, her •
• clothes,. and roaring at her to
put' the lid on the jam bottle,
and put it away, after . break=

And' she'll . read this 'column
and say, "You don't .like me,
du you »ad?• 'I'm just a nui-,

here." • . . .
And P11 say, •"Stop feeling
sorry' for yourself. Did •it, ever
occur to" you to do the dishes?
1 'wish Mum :was . here too.
'She'd straighten you out, you ,
little bum."
And She'll say, "Oh; you`
think I'ma little ' bum, eh?
'Well, thanks a` lot Treat cer-
tainly' makes 'a person' feel
wanted:'. :r
And I'll say, "Bum, schlum:
Get the carrots' ready for the
stew and then: get at your
homework."
And she'll' snap, 'That's all ,
you , think about: Carrots.
You're getting more ' like 'a

the guitar and a ' couple. of

work off mine' by getting,' the

But we get along fine. She.
