Broom Hilda by Russell Myers for March 08, 2010

……she writes with a SMILE on her face!!!!

And a ZAP from her finger!

A most excellent beginning….

“I was born.” (See Tristram Shandy.)

Who can remember when they were born?

“I was born at a very early age but I made up for it by being big for my size.”

Just zap him!

My mom remembers being born, she can even describe the delivery room and that she had a horrible headache.

Popo? Never heard that one

Decked him with a Zap no doubt.

\\//_

I wonder if Broomie’s mom was short and green.

And that’s all she wrote.

“…And no man has come near my popo since then.”

BTW, which tree is her computer plugged into?

Sherlock, the computer no doubt draws its power from tiny ZAP charges transmitted from Broomie’s fingers through receptors in the keyboard…

The computer is plugged into a currant bush…

@NJB, I remember a pop song probably from the late 50’s, that a man is singing about his first son:

Feet up, pat him on the popo, let’s hear him laugh! Feet up, pat him on the popo, let’s hear him laugh! Ain’t seen a babe like this before He’s so good-lookin’, gonna have some more Feet up, pat him on the popo, let’s hear him laugh!

It has a very catchy tune.

One moment while I google it…

Yup, some guy named Guy Mitchell. Lots of websites for the lyrics, but I don’t know if there are any for the tune.

Isn’t technology wonderful! You can get answers to any question you can think of.

As to their accuracy - well, that in its turn is another question!

I believe Ray Bradbury claims he can remember.

You never know how much of that is real, coz I think in most cases the brain isn’t developed enough to begin storing anything yet. Altho I imagine there are early development exceptions.

Ask her if perhaps she isn’t getting confused with when you were born! :-)

And then the witch doctor, he gave her a slap, And she said, “Waaaaaaaaaah!”

The term “popo” is more common in German. It’s slang for the backside (obviously), possibly deriving from “posterior.”

According to Google Translate popo is Turkish for butt.
