Exceptional Visiting Grandmother A Bar of Soap by Terry Broxson True Story Flash contest entry

Warning: The author has noted that this contains the highest level of 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?"   Recognized Author Notes Truthfully, she laughed too hard to grab her bar of soap.
