How Old are You?
Hey, just how old are you?
My Dad was cleaning out my grandmother's house and he
brought me an old Royal Crown Cola bottle. In the bottle
top was a stopper with a bunch of holes in it. I knew
immediately what it was, but my daughter had no idea.
She thought they had tried to make it a salt shaker or something.
I knew it as the bottle that sat on the end of the ironing board
to "sprinkle" clothes with because we didn't have steam irons.
Man, I am old.
