CORNER
Strawberry Juice Caper
By
Bagley
Jake's folks, the Scotts of
Brewton, Alabama operated a
dairy and back then there were
no electric milkers. The whole
deal was a by hand affair and
many a time I'd get to Jake's
and he would be holding the
bag, so to speak. Occasionally
he would be tied up in such a
way that he just couldn't turn
loose. Most of the time, though,
if we couldn't persuade his
Mama to let him go some place
or other, well, he would just
have to slip off.
And there is just no telling
how many lickings Jake got for
suddenly going A.W.O.L. We
would usually discuss this
subject, too, and he had some
pretty good logic on the matter.
His idea was that, if at all
possible, especially if he
thought he'd be liable to get a
thrashing, he would manage to
get back before his papa came
home. You know, so his mama
could give him the whipping. He
said his mama didn't give much
of a licking, but if his papa was
home, and tended to him, that
was a little different.
It was just about the same
way at my house. Every once in
a while, though, Mama would
cross me up. If the offense was
serious enough she would
announce that she had better
wait and let Papa take care of
it. This meant real trouble.
But this one time, even
though it was a major crime,
Jake didn't, well, none of us got
any hickory broth.
School was out at one that
day and Mama had to take
Virginia to the eye doctor. That
meant that she had Evelyn with
her and I would be home alone
for a couple of hours or so.
However, she very sternly
admonished that when she got
back she had better find me in
the garden with the hoe in my
hands. I sure meant to, and did,
do just exactly like she said.
Before we left school me
and Jake talked the situation
over, then we lined up Everett
Capps and Claudis Beasley.
We decided that the thing to
do would be for me to go in at
each of their houses and ask if
they could go home with me to
ask my mama if I could come
back to their house and play a
while.
And would you believe it?
Luck was with us. In no time a
tall three mamas had given
three boys permission to go
home with me to see if I could
come back and play a little
while at three different places.
Good thing none of us had
telephones back then.
I had the most trouble with
Jake's mama. She said he had a
lot of work to do. Then, too, he
had three little brothers, Ed
Neal, Aubrey, and Junior. So,
you see we had a real problem
there. We had to talk her into it,
then we had to figure some way
to get away without these little
fellows. Finally, though, Mrs.
Scott said she guessed it would
be all right if we weren't gonna
be gone more than just a few
minutes. We promised her. We
said we would run all the way to
my house and back.
Everett was already there
and waiting on us. Then Jake
got loose, and eventually we
managed to get Claudis and
then we really did run the rest of
the way, and the four of us
wound up at my house, all
rairing to go.
You see, Papa had several
churns full of strawberry juice
in the smoke house and I had
just located it. He had added a
little sugar to it, and Man, that
stuff tasted pretty good. It was
nice and cool - real cool, and
very flavorful. I got our big
gourd dipper and there was
mighty little formality at our
party. We just passed the dipper
around and around.
And whoever emptied the
zipper, I mean dipper, had to fill
it up again. But that was no
problem. Papa had lots and lots
of juice.
It wasn't but a little bit
before Jake said he believed he
could see two of each one of us.
And after another ripper, I
mean dipper, or two, the ole
smokehouse had an extra door.
But when I tried to go through
one of em I banged into the wall.
Everett said there must be
something to matter with that
ole strawberry juice. Claudis
reckoned it was about the best
juice he had bever tasted. Jake
said it sure made him kindly
swimmy headed. By this time I
wasn't even sure which
was up.
Everything got sorta hazy. 1
do remember having a good bit
of trouble standing up, and 'the
ground was a lot harder to walk
on than I could ever remember
it being.
Tell you the truth, I didn't
remember when my buddies
left. I didn't remember when
Mama got home or hardly
anything.
Next day, though, Maml
told me she had found me asleef
in the garden, between the con
rows, and with the hoe in m>
hand! And she said quite a fee
other things, too, mostly aboi
my having disgraced the whole
family.
Jake's mama thought he
was just sick. Told him that be
must be billious and that if he
had any more spells like that
she would have to give him a
spring tonic.
Claudis didn't have to get in
any stovewood that night and
Everett said he didn't have to do
anything either. Jake said he
justdid remember getting home
and that was all.
Sometime before the party
broke up Jake wondered what
kinda butter you'd get if the
juice in those churns were
churned. Claudis told him that
the stuff would have to clabber
before it could be churned.
Everett said he believed that it
had already clabbered. I
suggested that we have another
dipperful and then run around
the house three or four times to
churn the stuff. Then one of em
said that if they could stand up
maybe they oughta go home
before it got any worse. And I
guess it must have been soon
after that they left.
Not a single one of us got a
licking for this, but 111 tell you
one thing, I came amighty darn
close.
