My claim to fame is being one of Art Linkletter's kids! I was 6 years old, totally humiliated my parents with my answers to Art's "questions,"

Ok, Fess up, what was the question??? lol

There were three questions in all. The first one was, "How did your parents meet?" And, since I was not quite 6 years old, I messed it up. I said they met in a bathroom in a campground in the Catskills (they were both counselors) because my father didn't know how to work the equipment. The truth is - they met in a phone booth at the camp. The phones were the old crank kind, and my father didn't know how to work them (he has many marvelous qualities, but mechanical skills ain't one of 'em ). My mother showed him how, and the rest is history - they've been married for 44 years (and Mom still does all the fix-it jobs).

The second question was: "How does your mother get her spending money?" My answer: She plays gin with my father every morning before he goes to work.

The last question was: "How do you get your spending money?" My answer: I play Mom after Dad leaves.

I was a little on the precocious side.... LOL!
