A glimpse of wholesome life in rural America before the internet, social media, gender dysphoria and leftist ideological indoctrination of grade school level children.

This is a humorous collection of nine short stories about the adventures of an often mischievous six year old boy in rural Oklahoma in 1962 who consistently gets out of one scrape only just in time to get into another. One child of a family of fourteen children, Joel Thomas Orcutt, often along with his four year old brother and partner in crime named Possum, relates his fond memories of events that often weren't always so fond as they were unfolding, but eventually always worked themselves out.

Predating disturbing and widespread common issues afflicting children such as gender dysphoria, autism, childhood obesity and ADHD diagnosis requiring mind altering medications, returning back to the days before school shootings and other obvious results of godless societal secularism such as child sex trafficking, puberty blockers, and wicked and barbaric chemical castration being performed on little boys, these are true accounts reflecting childhood life in a simpler time and place before the internet, TikTok, social media, cell phones, video games, Netflix and the like when children were more closely connected to the natural world around them and found more wholesome ways to entertain themselves, limited only by their own imaginations. Topics include things such as Bible School, haircuts at home, dishpan baths and making popcorn out of doors which are likely to make the reader smile, perhaps chuckle, and maybe even roll on the floor laughing; as well as perhaps getting misty-eyed in a few places.
