Still More Stories from Grandma's Attic Quotes

“The Prettiest House in the County Grandma, Uncle Roy, and I were sitting around the kitchen table in the old farmhouse. We had just sampled some gingerbread, hot from the oven, and I was listening to Grandma and her brother as they talked about the farm. “The house really could stand some paint, Roy,” Grandma said. “How long since it’s been done?” Uncle Roy’s eyes twinkled as he replied. “It’s been painted since the barn has.” Grandma began to laugh, and I knew that they both had remembered something from their childhood. “Tell me!” I begged. “What happened that was funny?” “I have to get back out to work, so you’ll have to tell her, Mabel,” Uncle Roy insisted. Grandma got up to clear the table and began the story.”

“Sarah Jane’s mother came over, I was sure the answer would be no. But it wasn’t! If Laura’s parents really wanted two houseguests, I could go. The next few days were a flurry of getting ready. “I’ll only need to take my very best summer dresses, Ma,” I told her, “and my good shoes.” “What do you plan to wear to play in?” she asked me. “You can’t run around outside in your good clothes.” “I don’t think you run around outside in the city,” I replied. “I think you just dress up and look pretty.” “That could get old in a hurry. You’d better take a few things, just in case.” My box was packed and repacked several times before the Monday arrived to leave. “If you don’t stand still,” Ma warned me that morning, “I won’t have your hair combed by the time the Clarks get here. You don’t want to keep them waiting, do you?”
