Cherokee Scout & Clay County Progress, Thurs. Oct. 6, 1966 1 By Bogl*y Nelson To Nero If you ever had any young - ans or knew anyone who did, if you fit into either of these categories, then you know how folks are ambitious for their chill un. They hope they will amount to something. My folks were lite that,too. Especially Mama. Now maybe she was no more ambitious for me than Papa. But she did talk about it a right smart, so, 1 knew exactly what she had in mind that she wanted me to be from time to time. The first thing I can remem ber her wanting me to be was an admiral like Lord Nelson. That was when she bought me that little sailor suit. She taught me how to salute, so, you see, she was DOING some thing about her ambition for me to be this famous ad miraL Every time I wore that little suit I got a good bit more drilling in naval affairs which consisted of saluting, with either hand. Mama wasn't parw icular, and yelling "Land Ahoy and Man Overboard." When I finally wore out that sailor suit that ended my naval career. I was kinda glad of it, too, cause I was a lot more comfortable in overalls. Next she decided that maybe I ought to be a doctor. This was when I was about 7 or 8 big enough to rub her back and fix her a dose of soda. Then the very next Christmas, after she'd made up her mind about my new profession, Sandy CI ause just happened to bring me a doctor's bag. And for a few days I practiced medicine, well, until my sister, Virginia decided that she would make a lot better nurse than 1 would a doctor. She made a spanking new slingshot out of red rubber and traded it to me for the whole kit and kaboodle. 1 could tell that Mama sure hated to see me give up a mighty promising medical career but when 1 explained that nurses were about as imp ortant as doctors and that Vir ginia was gonna be one of them now that she had that bag, she let me devote full time to be coming a slingshot sharp shooter. Then came spring and summer and time for going barefooted. My feet soon got mighty tough and I thought mine were toughened up en ough so that 1 could take a needle and thread and sorta embroider my Initials on the hardened hide on the bottom of my heels. So, I seated the H on my left heel and the B on my right one. Than 1 tried to find ground suitable to walk on so I could leave my initials with every step. When Mama saw this she was again sure that I oughts be a doctor on account of if I could sew on myself I sure wouliki't have a hit of trouble sewiqg up somebody else. Papa just chuckled and said I'd probably get both heels in fected, and he was surprised they weren't already, and for me to get that stuff out of my heels before I'd be a needing a doctor instead of being one. It wasn't too long after that that I had a stone bruise. Mama and Papa agreed on the diagnosis and that it would more than likely have to be lanced when it got good..' ripe. It RIPENEDooe morning about 2:00, so, I got up, shar pened my knife real good, and opened that thing up. I'm telling you, that felt so good afterward that I was about ready to agree with Mama about I oughta be a cutting doo tor. Mama said Surgeon, and told it all over the community about what a brave youngan 1 was to operate on my own self like that. Of coarse, I was mighty proud of it, too, especially when the youngans around home would ask me sure nuff did I lance it myself. And you can imagine what a major op eration this was when I gave em MY version of the deal. Now, occasionally, when Mama was about to tear me up about something?just once in a great while, I would be able to talk her out of it. And the few times that 1 was successful she'd tell me that maybe I oughta be a lawyer. A defense lawyer. She always seemed to be so proud of my prospects as a barrister that I wonder ed, many a time, why she didn't give me more suspended sentences instead of so much capital punishment. Actually, though, the few times that I was able to talk her outta giving me a licking 1 really think she was glad I had put up such a good argu ment. 1 know she hated to get on me so often. Of course, all my arguments ever consisted of was a bunch of frantic prom lies not to ever EVER, u long u 1 lived. dc thai again, whatever that was. Wlm Papa It waa a Uttle different, ff he had made uj his mind to tan my hide 1 know better than to say i word, just get ready to holl er. Papa bad no respect for my legal talents. Then that time that thai ole hawg ripped the side d my dog, Gyp, open and I sew ed her up while Papa held her for me. Mama guessed I'dmak a pretty good veterinarian. And she was absolutely certain of it after I had served as a mid-wife to one of my young heifers when she was having her first calf. The only thing I can ever remember Papa saying he thought I'd, maybe, do all right at was as a blacksmith, after shoeing my first horse. Oh yeah, I'd almost for gotten 1 made a-100 one time in music, in the third grade. That pleased Mama so that she told Grandpand she convinced him that I oughts begin studying music right away. So, Grandpa gave me a pretty good Straddle-Various that's what he said it was? fiddle and Mama started me into taking fiddle lessons. 1 took two and on my way home from that second one a buddy of mine said that if I lock too many of them and carried that fiddle case ar ound very much I'd sure be a big sissy. So, I gave that thing away before I got home. Told Mama 1 LOST it. I told her several things before telling her the truth. And for this she really worked me over good. Ex try good.

N. C. If you've been reading this junk for as much as two weeks you already know that I didn't become any of the aforemen tioned. You know I just never amounted to a hill of beans. But it su.e wasn't because Mama, and yes. Papa, too didn't envision great things for me. Tell you what I did do once, though. I won fifth place in a pretty baby contest. And there weren't but 4 babies entered in the durn thing. Mama al ways declared they had a bunch of cockeyed judges.
