Had a call from my only son, Soapweed, awhile ago. He said his youngest son, that he pictures wearing a cosmopolitan cap or leaning on a $200 Cadallac, was headed for the National FFA Convention. Soapweed ran across the coach in town and stated he was sorry the cosmo kid wouldn't be playing in the fnals in football. The coach said he didn't hold any grudge, that he would have jumped at the chance to go to the convention if he had the same choice.
A local lady, Linda, entered into the conversation and mentioned that Cosmo was cut out of a different pattern than most. She recalled when he was preschool. His mother, Mrs. Soapweed, was practicing on a song just before the funeral. "Cosmo" was pretty much on his own. He took a book that he found somewhere in the church and approached Linda, even though he didn't know her, asking if she would read to him. Linda complied but finally told him the funeral was about to start and they had better go to the sanctuary. "Cosmo" wanted her to finish the chapter. Linda said there wasn't time. "Cosmo" said "Do you want me to be quiet at the funeral? If you do I'd like to have you finish the chapter". Linda finished the chapter.
