Grandma Vi's Memories

Yesterday I spent some time going through the chest of photo albums and found dad's baby book. This remembrance is from Grandma Vi in her own words in the section called Mother's Notes: Myles really was a daddy's boy. He liked to suck his thumb especially when he felt rayon material. He was real nice and quiet in church so long as he could hold Daddy's tie in one hand and then suck his thumb. His happiness all came to a stand still one day when Daddy and I were out shopping. Myles was sleepy and started walking after Daddy through the stores sucking his thumb and holding on to the tail end of Daddy's rayon jacket. Daddy looked at me and said, "Vi, this is going to have to stop." So we went to the drug sore for some bad tasting medicine called "No Thumb". After a couple of days the habit was broken much to our surprise.
