Farmer's Daughter And I Can Prove It

Farmer's Daughter And I Can Prove It is a humorous chronicle of growing up in the Fifties and Sixties on an Iowa farm. Satirizing a 40th high school reunion, the author reminisces about life lessons learned on the family farm: hard work, education, family, and yes, the old joke, sex.The chapters are peppered with interesting relatives and characters. There is the school bus driver, Titch, whose false teeth would fly from his mouth as he harangued his passengers. An aunt spent the day in a tree because she feared the end of the world. The farming community was certain a local star would become Miss America. An uncle believed every every conspiracy from JFK was alive to what really happened at Roswell. There was also the poor, large family of Jimmy who was smitten with the author in the universal conundrum of we don't want those who want us. Love can stink. The book is written in a funny style. "Titch was particularly solicitous to the three Peggy Sues who got on the bus. They were seniors. Even the 'hoods' momentarily stopped dismantling the bus seats to watch tehm. Wafts of perfume preceded their tittering entrance as they focused on their conversations. Pony tails, a kerchief at the neck, bobby socks, saddle shoes. They were the epitome of 1950s fashion. They wore tight little sweater tops encasing their pointed boobs. The piece de resistance of their ensembles were the poodle skirts with all the crinoline slips that made the skirts stick out and block the aisle of the bus. What the males waited for was that the girls could never just sit in a seat. They would twirl several times, as much as you could on a bus, before landing on a seat. You might just see above the knee."
