The Cover
Stand from under, children; papa has a few screws loose and may suffer a loss of balance, dispersing steel pipes and himself across the greensward. Befall what may, the children will go right on awesomely thinking that fathers are wonderful beings who can do anything, a touching but goofy aspect of child psychology. Maybe mamma could have done this job in half the time without risk of injury, but a woman's place is in the home. when the swingery does stand up, Reddy, junior, and his friends will use it until a dreadful bare spots worn in the lawn; then, fed up with swings, they will go play in the street. Amos Sewell, who watched a real live parent suffer like this, says he knows what papa is saying to those screws, but it is something only screws should hear.
