Papa and Mama Said

This book is not designed to make you feel that you haven't lived if you haven't conversed in "e;Pig-Latin"e;, jumped hots, or shot marbles, but to share with you some of the experiences and emotions of what some might call "e;the good ole days"e;. For some of my characters herein I have borrowed new names, for the sake of privacy, as well as to protect the guilty. I feel reasonably sure that my family and friends will recognize themselves, even though I have told them as I saw them through my eyes. I apologize for Papa's foul language but I would be hard put to depict his character without it.
