Never in MY entire Married
motherly life was I so grateful
fora large roomy house as I was,
the other evening when my
children and their friends
converged on the house,
As you may have guessed by
this time, our home is the
meeting place for the masses,
That wouldn't be half so bad if
our children and their friends
had similar interests . . . but
then, I wouldn't have material
for a column if things went that
smoothly at our house,
You see, to begin with it was
the evening of a big high school
dance — the one when the girls
invite the boys,
"They used to call it a Sadie
Hawkins dance, I think,"
explained our teenage son, "but
now they've updated it a little
and named it a Suzie Q hop."
At any rate, the boys were
getting all sniffed up to meet the
girls. The meeting place was our
house and the livingroom was
the exact spot. That's where the
best record player in,the house is
situated so naturally, it was the
ONLY room in which you could
invite company to recline.
In the adjoining room, the
diningroom separated from the
livingroom by a pair of very
see-through glass doors, my
nearly-teenage daughter was the
hostess for a very posh party.
It was a surprise birthday
party for a friend with two other
very special girlfriends invited.
Even though the guests wore
blue jeans and sloppy sweaters
and clacked away on wads of
bubblegum, the affair called for
crystal water glasses and
sherbets, delicate china dessert
plates, linen, flowers, table
napkins, the works.
Need I explain the kind of
picture these two scenes
presented — one room filled
with suave young men about to
embark on their almost
first-time dates with enthusiastic
young women who had solicited
their attentions and in the next
room, a group of giggling
girl-gluttons who were devouring
a chocolate birthday cake and
mounds of ice cream with about
as much grace as elephants
turning in a pansy patch.
Need I remind you of the
blend of dissimilar odors — the
stench of too much after-Shave
lotion and the heavy smell of
chocolate cake, chocolate sauce
and grape fruit punch?
And need I explain the
exchange of conversation
between the two rooms — the
boys shouting insults like "How
old are you punk?" and "Who
baked the cake? Broom Hilda?"
and the girls retorting with
things like, "Mom, why can't I
ever have a party without him
interfering?"
In the back room, cut off
from the rest of the house, our
youngest child was entertaining
some of his friends.
"Where's your brother going,"
asked one lad.
"He's going to school 'cause a
girl told him to," answered our
son in all honesty.
"Why?" came the natural.
question.
'Cause that's what boys
do," insisted our son, "My
daddy goes when my mom says
to,"
"What's your sister doing?"
was the next question.
"She's having a birthday
party," he responded, "But it's
not her birthday. It's the other
girl's birthday. But the party's
here 'cause my sister made the
cake."
"Why?"
" 'Cause that's what girls do,
Make cakes and junk. And
Are potatoes fattening? Not
at all, say home economists of
the Ontario Department of
Agriculture and Food, unless
they are French fried or covered
with butter, or sour cream and
crumbled bacon. One medium
baked or boiled potato without
butter contains 100 calories.
This is the same number of
calories as in half a cup of
giggle. And whisper. And, yell at
boys."
Our youngest son is only four
Year* old, but sometimes he has
the wisdom of a sage, The very
rniestions his father and I had
been asking as we watched the
performances of the two older
kids from our vantage point in
the kitchen were explained so

he built a castle of blocks with
