BABY SISTER WILL TELL!
BABY SISTERS WILL TELL!
Baby sister sure would tell it! Back home from DC for Christmas in 1970, I had fraternally "grounded with my brothers," before going home to greet my folks. I crept down into the basement bedroom where we six boys slept. Got into bed. Went to sweet sleep. Along comes baby sister, Pam, age 4. "Larry! Larry! Larry!" she gleefully cried and quickly kissed me. Then upstairs she ran with the news, "Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Larry is here! And he smells like burnt leaves!" Baby sister will sure tell it!
