I am SO OLD . . . (How old are you, pschearer?) . . . I am so old that I remember being awakened at age three by the clip-clop and rattle-rattle of a horse-drawn milk delivery wagon in Philadelphia. And I remember the pleasure of licking the butter-fat from the lid of the un-homogenized-milk bottle (yes, I said milk BOTTLE).
Funny Grandpa, this time Joe did not know the answer.I remember mom gained milk not by horse and cart, I am not that old, but by delivery, she had to stay in until jar/jug of milk came that ended. Much older, teens, there was a dairy farm middle of metro town close to what we call the big ditch, A lot of families go there to buy milk. Then family stopped and the property was sold to a Pastor bought that land and built a bigger community church than the one I go to the further north. There is extra land so Pastor has more plans. What we call a big ditch as it sounds, a bridge has to be used, otherwise, we have flooding.

Obviously, grandpa’s joke is wasted on these youths.
♫No milk today my love is gone away
The bottle stands forlorn a symbol of the dawn
No milk today it seems a common sight
But people passing by don’t know the reason why♪
(and probably so is this song)
