Move to the future >>>>>>:

What ????? ,,, kindergarten is let out early ? The President was shot ?
What does that mean ? [ I knew about shooting rifles ] . so did this mean DEAD ? .

Grown - ups cry ,,,,and a funeral is shown on that black and white T V .....,all stations I think ,, [ was a long time ago ].

A little boy stands there ,, not much younger than I ,, and as a horse drawn wagon passes He >> SALUTES .... .
And a little older girl ,, still but a child ,, moves nervously around at her Mothers' side .

Moves ahead >>>>. .
Typical sibling squabbles , Birthdays , Holidays , Costume parties ,,,, And Mom and I would the next day after her and my dad had , had a get together with their friends ,,,, Sit and she would have a Bloody Mary ,, while I had the same [ without the vodka ] .
And I would get to sit and eat smoked oysters , pickled herring , black and green olives . Assorted cheeses and RITZ crackers .

You always did your chores and saved your weekly allowance ,, for once a month you went into the little town where the Bank was and Five & Dime store.
Reason I mention these two places is because you could choose .... Bank and deposit your money ,,,,,, or store to buy something . I liked to assemble model cars and airplanes .
