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?"
