I just know that my readers can remember some things from their own childhoods that are interesting but have little rhyme or reason.  What got me thinking along this line was a conversation recently with my son, Ralph.
We both recalled when our milk cooler was leaking water.  Ralph thought that he could repair it by simply taking a hammer and beating the leaking pipe. Well, it actually made the hole larger and water began gushing from the pipe flooding our milk parlor.  His daddy sure was mad.
There was another time when Ralph was about five or six years-old and for some unknown reason decided to pour a Coke into a 10-gallon milk can.  Obviously Coke and milk don’t mix.  Why on earth would a child pull a trick like that?  That was the day that Ralph got one of his two famous whippings from his daddy.
The other whipping came after Ralph took some of J.D.’s Country Gentleman tobacco with the intention of learning to smoke.  What made his daddy mad was the fact that Ralph didn’t tell the truth about it.  I witnessed the spanking and can vouch for the fact that Ralph didn’t want to ever get another one.
From that day on, J.D. only had to look at Ralph with a frown and my boy knew what was ahead if his behavior didn’t change.
I just bet that each person reading this article right now could stop and recall some childhood prank that probably made no sense at all.
