Lord have mercy ! Not only didn't I know how you got pregnant when I was little, I had never heard anyone talk about all that fascinating stuff ...I mean I didn't know how one got pregnant when I started dating..probably even when I got married! Hard to believe, but Mother was a proper reserved English type woman and we were brought up very strictly ...We were a family of 9 kids and a widowed Mother, but we never saw each other in underwear, or anything like that....Poor we might be, but we weren't trashy folks...We all grew up to be respectable , and have stayed that way... I must admit our Dad's raucous sense of humor crops up one in awhile, but the women that married all those wild Winchester boys watered their blood down a great deal..Jeannie T PS: I would have probably sold my soul to get to listen in on those ladies talking ! lol ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ On Sun, 24 Mar 2013 12:11:46 -0400 (EDT) Shirley Sullivan <[email protected]> writes: > > Do you remember the saying, "Little pitchers have big ears" or > something like that ???
