PRANKS
’Patricia Ann had a birthday this
month, Two candles gleamed on the j
cake and with a great deal of effort
she managed to blow the flickering
flames out. Then she chuckled and ]
slapped her pink and white, fists to- ’
gether. Of course we knew she said
“Happy Birthday,” but the guests j-ust >
looked confused. Guests are like that.
When the pride and joy of'Hhe house
hold says something in her''own, un- j
mistakable way they ne$br heem to
understand it.
Two years . , . yes, two full years
that seem to have gone by in a tre- 1
mendous.. hurry, How do you measure :
time in connection with such an af- 1
fair- Some people think of it in terms (
of rashes, teething, accidents and cry- j
ing. Somehow we like to think of it i
in terms of laughing and smiles and '
those times when you look at Patricia 1
Ann and just feel downright lucky that <
she is around the hefuse to get into
mischief. ]
It’s fun to think of the two years
in terms , of pranks. How she loved to 1
get snuggled down in the warmth of
her bed. She would look up with sol
emn eyes as you tucked her in and
tip-toed out. Being solicitous parents,
somebody would be bound to look at
her in ten or fifteen minutes and there
she would be with the blankets kicked
.down . . . two .chubby feet waving
happily around and not a sign of sleep
in her eyes. , t
We can even smile now at the
thoughts of those wooden blocks that
somebody gave her back in the creep
ing days. On an evenig when you
stayed just a trifle too long in the
village or possibly were at one
of the neighbors’ places, those building
blocks were quite certain to be strung
across the hall floor. Later, as she
started negotiating the stairs by her
self she seemed to delight in putting
them on .every step.., Painfully one
night we had the sensation of stepping
on one in our stocking feet and their
rolling quite forcefully and not very
gracefully .from the top to the bottom
of the steps. Patricia heard the noise.
Evidently it woke her up, and she
started crying lustily. That wakened
the whole household . . . and I lost all
respect for the ^duoational value of1
building blocks.
Then came the period of throwing
dolls all over .the floor. She had dolls
in* every nook and cranny . . . and
dolls of all descriptions which her
grandparents had . given her. I must
admit also that her parents 'were a
trifle inclined to be an easy mark when
they saw an attractive doll in a store
window. Guests seating themselves in
the front room would suddenly look
horrified and then, they would start
squirming and finally reach around
and pull a. doll cut from underneath
. . . usually one of the more disreput
able ones.
Daughters leain .while still quite
young just what to do in order to get
practically anything they want from
their dads. Mrs. Phil' is still ribbing
me. about the six or seven times I
padded faithfully up the front stairway
to humor this young lady who had
been deposited, apparently on the verge
of sleep, in her crib.
First of all she wanted a doll from
: the 'window sill. Downstairs I went
and with a sigh started to read the
newspaper. The call for “Da Da” came
once again. How pitiful those cries
can sound! How angelic the young
sters can look when you make the
long trip up to investigate! Next thing
it was a drink of water . . . until
finally the blanket wasn’t tucked in
tight enough. Mrs. Phil began to laugh
and w.hen the cry came down next
time yours truly just yelled “Patricia
Ann,” in about as blustering a way.
as I could muster up. There was sil
ence then for a time . < . and finally-:
a chuckling, contented little voice"
said “Bye Bye? > ,
, I guess we are all creatures of habit.
At least during the past number of
years as soori as supper is finished
I move into the front room to smoke
and persue the newspaper. Now it is
a race with time, Just as certain as.
(fate, if I tarry too long I arrive to*
find a curly-headed lady perched in-
the chair with a newspaper * . . quite
often upside ddwn and reading aloud.
She persistently refuses to move and'
a compromise is reached when she" is
allowed to sit on my knee and read
the paper. Jast when the most inter
esting part of the story is reached
her head bobs across in front of my
vision, '
I Yesterday we found her perched on
1 a chair with the telephone receiver
in her hand. She was talking that
strange combination language of hers,
Mrs. Phil was mortified and every
time the telephone fang all evening
her face, would flush red. Judging by
the tittering laughter on the line the
girls at central were enjoying them*
Selves immensely,
One of her latest pranks is to -go
up the front stairway as quietly as
possible. After a little while you'll
miss her and start looking. No. sign
of her! Then we do get frantic! Fin*
ally she is located in one of the bed
rooms taking all the clothes out of
a dresser drawer and placing them
very carelessly, on the floor. Looking,
.up, surrounded by the clothes, she
.chuckles and laughs. It’s all fun to*
her.
Spanked and punished for each
prank, she finds a new one. They’re
not wrong to her . . just fun.
