This Week’s Cover
- Daddy is fit to be tied, which could be unreasonable of him, for if he has not yet taught his little ones to put away toys at eventide, all this is his fault and he should be spanked. More likely the youngsters just forgot—like the time daddy inadvertently left the lawn mower in the driveway one night and, after backing the car over it next morning, had to procure a new lawn mower. Daddy should summon up this memory now, and grow calm and forgiving. Otherwise he may suffer the heartache of a certain real-life father who, after leaving toys off his driveway, drove into the garage with such fury that his bumper went out the back of it and made the neighbors laugh. This man was not painter Hughes. Never mind who he was.
