His mother looked down into her plate. Graydon set his fork down and moved his plate away. Words, any response, failed him. What could he say?"Awww, c...mon, fer crissakes! Yer a growin' young man. It's time you learned how to go out and get a little! You know, get her out in the wild woods you love so much, and play a little stink-finger with her!

If Darrel told you he'd endorse my note, then he will... and you can't imagine what a happy man that makes me."Jan returned his grateful smile, then glanced affectionately at her daughter who was wearing a smug and warm expression of her own.
