Grandpa tell me about the Good Old Days!

     Well I guess it is official Bruce Jenner is going thru with it, he will have a Jay- Jay instead of a Pee-Pee. I know because he was good enough to go on National TV and tell us ALL about it. And oh bye the way He will be in a Reality show starting in the Fall, didn't see that one coming.  Pray tell how do you raise kids in this crazy world where at anytime your 6 year old will go from seeing hostages being beheaded, to Blacks rioting in the street because a black kid was shot, which of course was captured on video, which of course means that we will watch it over and over a hundred times. But sports is the great escape, right? Turn on ESPN, what do you see, story after story about Oversized Black men who have been arrested for beating up women, and of course there is the Video again. Mix in stories of athletes using drugs to illegally enhance their performances, at least our local sports stories are without controversy, Wait a Minute, what the Hell , Football players raping Co-eds and getting away with it?   Not sure what the rest of you will do but this Grandpa is moving the "Magnificent Seven" to the Convent/ Monastery previously known as The Farm, where we will listen to Baseball games on the radio, have picnic's down at the Creek where there will be frog catching competitions and skipping rock challenges. Of course we will make homemade Ice-cream  smothered with our own raspberries. Which will be followed by a furious game of "Annie I Over" , And if there is any energy left how about a game of "Kick the Can"?  When is the last time you snared a Gopher with a piece of twine? The truth is Bad things have and always will be OUT there, maybe it is up to us to guard the door so they don't come into our kids lives. There Grandpa just told you a few things about "The Good-Old Days"
