   When we were little, dad had us convinced he could change traffic signals by whistling.

   Either that, or as you got older, the world convinced you that he couldn’t. ;)

   He-he. I caught on to him first (I’m the eldest) but didn’t spoil it for my siblings.

   Papaw S.H. (dad’s dad) could blow enormous smoke rings when he smoked his pipe on a calm day or indoors. Blow rings within rings, and he could whistle and hum at the same time. He also could spot mint anywhere for us to chew. Papaw O.M. (mom’s dad) could pull a dime out of your ear and give it to you, or make a paper rabbit or something else appear out of his fedora after handing it to you to be sure nothing was in there. He. also knew where to get bubblegum that really tasted just like Coca-Cola.

   I had a fun childhood.with two ornery, magical grandfathers and equally fun grandmothers, and an assortment of aunts and uncles in the same vein.

   I used to pull quarters (inflation) out of my grandson’s ear when he was little and he loved the trick. I bought a book on amateur magic and practiced it to amuse him.

   Hmm…my comment seems to have been eaten…

   I really like the expression and ideas that are presented. I like the balance of personalities you present to the audience. keep up the good work.

   Do you mean that you gave up fairly quickly?

   When I was a teenager, I occasionally watched the TV far too late at night. Remote controls made controlling it so effortless that, as I dozed off, I would forget that I needed the remote and would attempt to turn off the TV by telekinesis…
