I was about 13-14 and feeling my oats and expressing my vocabulary of
profanity, especially using the word "Shit".
Finally Mom had enough.
"Son", she said, "you seem to be quite an expert on shit."
"Let ask you a question."
"When you look at chicken shit, you see white stuff and brown stuff."
"What is the brown stuff?"
I stood there looking stupid for maybe a minute or two.
Finally Mom let me off the hook and said, "Son, the brown stuff is
also chicken shit."
I wanted to slither away and hide under a rock.
It was one of those life lessons you learn from Mom.

My life lesson.....
I was about 12 and living on a farm. I was growing tired of chores
everyday and really wanted to go to a friends house. I told my
grandfather that I wasn't going to do my chores.
He said "Fine, you don't have to but I want you to explain to the
cows why they aren't getting fed tonight and why they are sleeping in
a dirty stall."
I never did my chores as fast as I did that night.

We lived in a mountain town. Kids all wore hiking boots or snow boots. One
day our 10 year old heard the saying about Shineola. (Iam sure you all know
the saying) He said what is Shinola. He never had a shoe that needed
polish. ww

boots
