Parunts knows lots more than us,
  But they don't know _all_ things,--
  'Cause we ketch 'em, lots o' times,
  Even on little small things.

  One time Winnie ask' her Ma,
  At the winder, sewin',
  What's the wind a-doin' when
  It's a-not a-_blowin_'?

  Yes, an' 'Del', that very day,
  When we're nearly froze out,
  He ask' Uncle _where_ it goes
  When the fire goes out?

  Nen _I_ run to ask my Pa,
  That way, somepin' funny;
  But I can't say ist but "Say,"
  When he turn to me an' say,
  "Well, what is it, Honey?"
