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.
