Ohhh, don't even get me started on my Grandpa Palmer drinking his coffee out of his saucer!!! My Father used to Drink his Coffee out of his saucer! He'd said it cooled the coffee faster that way! But he used Young'un's, Teached you, and Younder as much as anyone but he got an education as an adult from his older kids on what was proper! He actually did want to loose that MO IA drawl!
