This site is dedicated to the stories of my father. I have the great opportunity to be able to digitally record his stories--as told by him--and give them to the world. These stories cover 9 decades, 16 U.S. presidents, 8 Constitutional Amendments, and a World War. These stories are told by someone who was there. They aren't officially sanctioned or politically correct. They're just true.

Funny Memories

As I was sitting here teasing my cat, I remembered a little song Dad used to sing to the grandchildren (and, I’m sure, to us kids).  He made a point of stopping when the child got old enough to understand the words.

I have no idea where the song came from.

You’re so ugly
Oh, so ugly
You’re just an ugly child.

Oh how I hate you
You alligator bait, you
You’re such an ugly child.

You’re knock-kneed, bow-legged, pigeon-toed, too
Your family had a curse and they placed it on you.

You’re so ugly
Oh so ugly
You’re such an ugly child.

He always sang it with the most loving of voices and a smile on his face.

Some day I hope I can sing this to my own grandchildren, while their parents listen–and snicker or roll their eyes.

    “You’re so ugly oh so ugly
    Youre such an ugly child.
    The clothes you wear are out of style
    You look like an ape every time you smile.

    My dad used to LOVE this song, and he had an old record of it when I was a kid. I was looking for the actual lyrics whenI came accross your post. Thanks for the memories.
