I #ust gave you the clue $f what I was to o, An that was to give birth to a little one. I was an%ious as coul be As everyone coul see, &o get things over, whether it was a aughter or son. 'ell, I can(t remember much About the birth an much, !ut within a couple hours our little boy was born. I was fille with much #oy )ven though I alrea y ha three boys. 'hat a big family *three brothers an two sisters+ he ha #oine . ,e was chubby, I must say "or - lbs, 13 $.. ,e i weigh An he was twenty an one half inches long. ,e ha a hea of black hair An not one thing i he wear &he first time I saw him after he was born. 'ell, my hospital stay was short An for home I soon i start 'ith my precious little bun le of #oy. 'hen we rove up to the gate, $ur 1- month ol son, /enny, i wait &o see his much0misse mother an the boy. As we put the baby to be /enny looke at him with rea An furiously gave the be a shake, his inner thoughts revealing. ,e wante no one to take his place, ,e thought it woul be a isgrace, 1o with #ealousy he gave vent to his true feelings. !ut 2an y i n(t min at all ,e #ust slept through it all 1o his brother eci e to leave him alone. It took a #usting as always,

    !ut many were the goo ays &hat we ha together in our happy home. $ne thing I forgot to tell Is that you were the baby, an we name you 2an y 3ale. 4our brother, 2onnie, takes the cre it for your name. &hough he ha help from his mother, ,e eclares he names his brother, 1o we #ust go along with his little game. $ne other thing I( like to mention &hat happene an rew our attention 'as the fact your a y ha a serious mishap. It was si% weeks before you were born As he was bush0hogging on his farm &hat a limb hit him in the eye an put it out. 1o, 2an y, when we came home 'e were not all alone !ecause your a was recuperating while on sick leave. ,e ha cleane the house "or his belove spouse, An for all the work I( misse I i not grieve. !ut after lunch consisting of liver, ,e hea e straight for the river &o check on his cows who were gra.ing on clover. I ha though I ha it ma e As on the be I ha lai , !ut I soon foun out my responsibilities weren(t over. !ut I foun great #oy In caring for my little boy "or as you grew up, 2an y, you were a goo little la . 5ot many spankings i you get I can remember yet. &hat when I i have to spank, I felt so ba .
