Anyone who knew my mother might recognize her voice from this piece written by her father "Golly" when he was in his late 80s. (He often writes his column in third person.)
What a disposition Golly has!
He bought an electric blanket. The card to be mailed to the manufacturer to make good the two-year guaranty, riled his disposition.
"What called this blanket to your attention?
"From whom did you buy it?"
"Where?"
"Do you have any other automatic blankets?"
"Single or double control?"
"What did you pay for it?"Etc., etc., etc.
Golly had to give his life history – how many children he had and do they go to school? Probably he should have told the firm that he burns natural gas and he is not delinquent on taxes.
The next purchase we make will not be from that manufacturer!
