   Where did most of us old farts pick up our filthy tongues? Why, from kids just a year or two older than we. TV, back in its infancy, didn’t have nudity, partial or otherwise, or any cussin’!

   She’s probably hiding in plain sight. BTDT with my own 4 year old. She’s now in her 30’s, and I hope her’s repay in kind!

   In the Central Highlands 69-70, around Pleiku. In one years time, I watched the Vietnamese civilization progress about 100 years. I also saw inflation do a number on the people. Hate to use this for an example, but it is the best one I have: an sll-night girl when I got there charged $5 US or P500, when I left it was $20 US or P2000. Never bought cokes from the Papasan on the bicycle cart because we didnt trust that the “coke” would not have other things in it (glass, rat droppings, poison.) What little I saw that was not occupied by us, or being destroyed by us and them, was very nice. I wouldn’t mind going back, but that’s an old man’s dream that will never happen.

   How long ago is it that you were a kid? Forgot how stupid their thought processes are already? They DO walk out in the rain just because they can.

   And? Your point is? I ran an ER and an Emergency Department (a looong time ago) and my kids were in there, a lot! And not just to visit me! Most of the time it was for treatment that I couldn’t handle at home. Think about the old saw about the worst kids on the block are the "P.K.‘s: Preacher’s or Policeman’s Kids. Those kids already know what not to do because Mom or Dad is onto “that.” So they do something , ah, different, shall we say? (I don’t want to give away any secrets to any kids who might be reading.)

   Brad, being a firefighter, would know to look under and in all the “unusual” places. When a house is on fire and a bedroom door is closed, look in the closet or under the bed; kids think they can “hide” from the danger of a fire. Make sure YOU explane that to your kids, the neighbor’s kids, that punk down the street, and your grandkids.

   Interesting…“Fuchs” in German means “Fox.” Even if you meant a dirty word (and Fuchs/Fox isn’t?)
