When I was 5 years old I woke up early on a Sunday morning. It must have been Winter, because I had to put coal in the furnace. So I trooped on down the basement stairs in my bare feet and PJs, stoked the furnace and lit the natural gas water heater ( my father had showed me the proper way to handle both ). I finished my job and spied a small can of red porch paint under the stairs, with a small paint brush on top. I got a screwdriver and pried off the top and started painting the steps … from top to bottom. I reached the bottom step, painted it and admired my work. Then, I walked up the still-wet steps to tell my family what I had done. There were tiny red footprints throughout the kitchen and down the hall, ending just before the stairs leading to the second floor. My memory grows dim what happened next, but I don’t think praise was involved.
“Hail to thee Blythe toilet, chrome-handled beast of prey. Thy gaping mouth and roaring sound doth whisk the crap away.” But I forget whether it was Keats or Shelley.

They must live in Kentucky, where a lawmaker wants to make 10 year olds work. “I did, and it did me good.”

If this doesn’t get shut down soon, I expect Grandma to get stuck to the toilet seat.
