I was digging deep again, as I do every year or so, into my box of keepsakes and relics that I really don't know why I kept them but did. Stuff I wrote as a kid (some of that, I must say, rather disturbing), old letters of the real life mailed sort, newspaper clippings of miscellany, that have strangely yellowed and gotten brittle already and that shit just ain't right since it seems not so long ago ... whatever, I'm getting old. From the Kansas City Kansan , newspaper that we got delivered daily, Friday, July 25, 1975, I had cut out and kept this one particular article headlined "Youngster completes first novel." I was always writing as a kid, so I remember very well snipping this one item, on account of the twelve-years-old youngster was my same age, and I very much wanted my own novel published.

ReplyDeleteWell, let's pretend the story is true. (I'm not so sure. "Mum"?? Nobody from Indiana says Mum, but the article doesn't say where the granny moved to.) Watch me duck. I have no isssue with incest, especially of no children are involved. But a "group" that helps people understand their incest feelings?

If it is real romantice love---atta girl! Not legal marriage? Neither is my romantic relationship. When I think of sex with any family member I know I want to vomit and ewww/yuck. But, live and let live. (I still doubt the validity of the story unless one or both have IQs of 32. Which will make for a very low IQ baby. But GW Bush became president of the USA, so...)
ReplyDeleteGross.

ReplyDeleteI agree! Gross, and might I add, yuck!!
ReplyDeleteProbably not a good idea to have read this before eating breakfast. Love to hear his parents thoughts, since one of them is the child of Gross Granny.
ReplyDeleteThat's what I was going to say! Okay, I'll go with gag me with a spoon!
ReplyDelete"Gross Granny"
ReplyDeleteI know this subject is not a laughing matter but I had to chuckle at that! LOL
Chairman O became President, also, and all he had to do was tell you he had a high IQ. He must be smart, because he says so.
ReplyDeleteChris, I'm guessin by his 8 years of actions and word of mouth. (HIS)
