Visiting Grandmother
A Bar of Soap
by Terry Broxson
The author has placed a warning on this post for language.
In 1960, when I was fourteen, I spent a week with my Grandmother Minnie. We called her Granny. I wanted to know about Dad.
"Granny, what was my father like when he was fourteen?"
"We lived on a farm; he was a hard-working smart kid."
"Did he ever get into trouble?"
"All kids get into trouble."
"Not me, Granny!"
"I remember one time he let out the longest string of cuss words I ever heard!
"I grabbed his shirt collar, dragged him to the sink and washed out his mouth with soap!"
"Holy shit! Granny, you did that to Dad?"

Truthfully, she laughed too hard to grab her bar of soap.
