I KNOW WHAT I THINK...
~ AUNT JENNY’S AGE RE Aunt Jenny's real life stories fiction or fact? Is it always necessary for them to end up with the "and they lived happily ever afterwards" theme? They are typical stories for the non-imaginative human being who likes an ordinary cup of tea. Two guesses, and you know what is coming in the next instalment. Even the baby goes to sleep in the middle of them. Couldn’t we have one where he or she does the opposite to what we expect them to do? In real life every other person has a heartache or a tragedy, but none of them is ever worked out according to any of Aunt Jenny's theories. Even the octopus has a life story, but turn him inside out and he hasn’t a hope of getting ,out of his dilemma. What a change to listen to something like that! Actually we are living in the atomic age, not Aunt Jenny's age.
