ANOTHER STORY PLEASE, PAWPAW?
“Pawpaw, please tell us another story Pawpaw” said Sarah.
“Yes please Papa.” Amy said “Is that ok Mama, one more story before we go to bed?” she respectfully asked Memaw since Memaw had earlier told them about going to bed.
“Sure it’s OK, if Grandpa wants to tell another story.” said Memaw.
“Ok, I’d be happy to tell another story, but this one isn’t a silly story. This is a really happened story, and we’ll call it, The Lime Green Falcon.”
“Pawpaw,” said Kwaku, “falcons aren’t lime green.”
“Haha, this one is because it’s not a bird. There are ultralight aircraft that are called Falcons. This XP Falcon isn’t really an ultralight, as Baby John Sinclair of Cherokee County, liked to point out. It isn’t considered an ultralight because it could carry two people, the pilot and a passenger. So, guess it’s like the Falcon Ultralight model that can carry two people”
“Pawpaw, was Baby John Sinclair a baby?” Shonda asked.
“Uh, no, actually he was a grown man already in his sixties at that time.” Pawpaw replied. “The folks around town called him Baby John Sinclair because his daddy was John Sinclair and when Baby John Sinclair was a baby people started calling him Baby John and it stuck with him all his life. We will just refer to him in this story as Mr. Sinclair.
