Marash Girl Paused For The Cows To Cross Waltham Street

"One day left from the old days?" So Marash Girl thought as she would stop during her commute from suburban Newton to Lexington High School . . . stop to let the farmer and his cows cross from the field on the eastern side of Waltham Street to the field on the western side of Waltham Street. As her father would be commenting, were he still here with us, "Those days are gone . . . forever!"

A Trip to the Franklin Park Zoo with Little Quail

There the family stood at Boston's Franklin Park Zoo . . . Mama, Papa, Nisa, and three year old Little Quail, peering through the fence separating them from the baby elephant. Little Quail was clutching a half of a peanut butter sandwich in her little fist when the baby elephant reached through the fence with his baby elephant trunk and took Little Quail's peanut butter sandwich right out of her little hand, popping the sandwich into its baby elephant mouth . . . and leaving Little Quail sobbing at the loss of her sandwich (but, it should be noted, that she expressed no fear of the elephant . . .) Little Quail was simply sad that the elephant had taken her snack without even asking!

What's black and white and red all over?

"What's black and white and red (read) all over?" An age old riddle Marash Girl has dredged up from her childhood . . . a riddle to which most folks would proffer the answer, "a newspaper" . . . but then, if you're a kid, you would be more likely to answer "an embarrassed zebra". . . especially if you had just returned from a visit to the Franklin Park Zoo. Do you, dear reader, have any other wiley answers?
