It lay beside my place at the table when momma called us to breakfast. I saw the little smile on her face as I sat down. Daddy asked me if I wanted my...present and the little girl rose up in my 19 year old self and squealed excitedly that I did. I grabbed it, untied the string, unwrapped the paper, and there it was, a perfectly shaped, completely shelled corncob.
