True History: Time to Lean
If you’re like me, you believe things are as they are only because they are not another way. And further, you believe that anything you DO believe should be held at arm’s length for a long while, be contemplated, and then rejected out of hand.
But one thing that all good-hearted people believe is that if you’ve got time to lean, you’ve got time to clean. The people of Grundelfork, SC, took this one step further, some say a step too far.
It all began one rainy afternoon in the mountains near Grundelfork. Mrs. Adamsonsmith was having her morning cigarette while watching her baby eat. She was struck by the sheer laziness of the baby. I mean, really.
Lucy Andersonsmith has time to lean.
So, she put her daughter to work on the kitchen. This was such a success, despite the shoddy, lack-luster job she did, that soon families all over town began having their toddlers dust, shelve books, and wash the dog.
This project was short-lived, however, since babies are unable to read fabric care labels. This incidentally led to the famous Grundelfork Laundry Boom of ’49, which really put the town on the map. That’s a terrifically funny story, but we don’t have time for it now.
The person who realized that babies don’t have to be able to read the labels to sew them on was a genius!
this cheeky little bugger was an afternoon delight of the non carnal variety. cheers!
