he got to the swimming hole, dived in, hit bottom, and split his head, and had to be taken to the hospital...poor Helen, never got into the water...

what a punchline
first dad got the cookies and crackers
then dad got the icecream
then dad got the waffles
then dad split his head

upshot of all stories is Helen gets cheated out of all treats

I love this story
Love, Palo

I forgot another thing that happened to Helen..one time she was coming home from school, and she used to cut through the gang way of a neighbors house on one street, and that gang way led to where she was living....

The neighbor lady was sitting on her porch, and she told Helen, "You dont live there anymore"...apparently my grandmother made a move when my dad and Helen went to school...she told my dad, of course, because he was so extra special, but she never told Helen that they were moving...

It was just a few doors down from where they lived before, but it was just that fact that my grandmother never told Helen...when Helen finally got to the newer house, delivered by the neighbor, my dad was already there...

Poor Helen, the family moved, and no one told her...
