'Tidbits By Beth'
By Y. Elizabeth Dunn
KINSTON - Last week in this
column we gave you Allen Beck's !
version of “What Is a Girl?"
TTiis week we are devoting the en- j
tire column to his very familiar
version of “What Is a Boy?’'
"Between the innocence of
, babyhood and the dignity of man
! hood we find a delightful creaturp
| called a boy. Boys come in as
i sorted sizes, weights, and colors, „
but all boys have the same creed.
To enjoy every second of every
minute of every hour of every
day and to protest with noise j
<their only -weapon) when their j
last, minute is finished and the
adult males pack them off to bed
at night.
j “Boys arc found everywhere - j
on top of underneath, inside of, J
climbing on, swinging from, run-:
; ning around or jumping to. Moth- j
ers love them, little girls hate |
I them, adults ignore them and |
! Heaven protects them. A hoy is
Truth with dirt on its face. Bean- i
i ty with a cut on its finger, Wis- i
i dom with bubble gum in its hair,!
and the Hope of the future with J
a. frog in its pocket.
“When you are busy, a boy is
an inconsiderate, bothersome, in-,
'■ truding jungle of noise. When
you want him to make a good, Sm
; pression his brains turn to jelly or
i else he becomes a. savage, sadistic
jungle creature bent or, destroy-
I ing the world and himself with it.
! "A boy Is s composite—he has
i the appetite of a horse, the diges
; tion of a sword swallower, the
energy of s pocket size atomic
