I need this in my life! Especially after sharing with Shelley this weekend, that a schoolfriend would invite me over when her mother was in a foul mood, as my antiquated good manners made her laugh. I’ll inscribe “thank you for having me”on my gravestone.

Dude that's so sweet, I can completely imagine that. And what an EXCELLENT headstone epithet!! And you know just the man to inscribe it, non? #sextondating ;-)

Oh your such a meanie bringing up my sexton stalker! I bristle with embarrassment. I sincerely hope he’s not still researching my family via their gravestones & kindling a flame for me.

Poor you and your ancestors. Are they not allowed to rest in peace? May there ghosts stalk him in retaliation.

Some musical satire I remembered that has roughly the same title as your article, written by Tom Paxton and sung by Pete Seeger: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0sgXpW6g58

I went to 6 schools ( we moved a lot ), and not one of taught me how to wear gloves. I reckon I seriously undereducated.

Is it possible to hear too many Mum stories? I don't think it is.

Loving it.
