Recommended reading for six-year-olds is A.A. Milne's "Now We Are Six." I still have the copy that Aunt Virginia gave me in 1939. A sample from memory: When I was one, I was just begun. When I was two, I was barely new. When I was three, I was hardly me. When I was four, I was not much more. When I was five, I was just alive. But now I am six, and clever as clever, I think I'll be six forever and ever.
Little Grish reminds me of me at that age, but maybe he will turn out better. One thing is that hair sticking up in the back, in that tougue picture. Does he have a double crown like me?
OK, maybe there is somebody reading this who is not aware of the double crown. It is an inherited characteristic that I got from the Clay side of the family. It makes your hair stick up a little in the back like Dennis the Menace. Look at the top of someone's head and you will find a little swirl in the hair where the hair seems to begin. Most people have only one, but some of us are fortunate (?) enough to have two. The two crowns are usually just half an inch apart. I haven't checked lately, but mine may be gone, considering the lack of hair in that region, but I had it most of my life.
So why is this important? Why is it called a crown? My mother, also a double crowner, said it indicates that there is royal blood somewhere among your ancestors. How"HRH"ard
