Children don’t normally “ask” to hear stories, the generally just listen to the ones we decide to tell them. If my grandson asks me to tell a life story, I would like to share funny stories from my Navy days fixing F-14’s on the Nimitz and shore leave stories. Maybe funny field days in the infantry.

Ugh, some would be troublesome. But most just funny as hell. Back when the Military was more fun to be a part of (80’s-90’s)...

SSG Ed Mikus After reading an uncle’s 8 page, typed family history, I did my own.

The events I recalled required 18 pages.
EACH grandchild read a complete version, as I monitored them.

Now, when I relate events of my life, those now young adults understand.

I am old ,and my stories from fifty years ago are not deemed suitable for children according to Household Six or (She who must be Obeyed) so I guess I’ll just have to keep boring the hell out of the youngsters here on RP,now there was that time when a big freaking lizard dropped from the top of a GP40 tent and bit this FNGs big toe,see how even that simple story loses something in translation
eg -freaking ,FNG.
