Every Friday Vernon Earl and I drove to The Old Lady's house for the weekend. I taught school and lived in Ridgeway, MO during the week, 78 miles from where The Big Man's Wife taught school while living with The Old Lady, her mother. Before I returned each Sunday afternoon, I usually bought a newspaper for myself and a bone for Vernon Earl - until one day I didn't buy a bone! Every now and then I loved to play a good joke on my wife. When you read this book you'll learn what that joke was, and why Vernon Earl didn't get a bone.
