Hellions

I was never a hellion, always a good girl and a good student, and

I am a little sorry about that.

But it's all relative, isn't it?

My father's idea of what constituted proper behavior would seem horribly retrogressive to some.

He didn't want us to eat in public, and he would say,

Your aunt never smoked in public, as though

That was the most criminal of acts.

He was an old commie, and

Some of them thought that homosexuality was a decadent side effect of capitalism.

He was very self concious, for which I have much more sympathy than I did then, and

He was mortified when I got older and became less concerned about what he thought.
