This is Magpie tales 1st birthday! Time sure flies don't it; gaaal-leeee.
"Do houses have genes grandpa?"
"They sure do sugar.
Some houses has good genes,
Like Monticello- they
Give shelter to successful
People;
Like Mr. Jefferson.
Some, n'er 'mount ta
Nuttin';
Like that un o'er yonder:
Anyone e'er lived
There,
Was a failure."
"Isn't that the house you
Grow'd up in grandpa?"
"Sur-nuf is,
Sugar."
