56-Imagination

(Sometime in 1963)

"Daddy! Daddy! Look what I made!"

Martin feigned interest in the colorful piece of paper, handed to him by his youngest son, Niles, although he was more interested in the football game on TV

"Oh wow! Thanks, Niles. What is this?"

The small blonde boy smiled. "It's a painting!"

Martin studied the mess of colors on the page. "So it is….But what is it?"

Young Niles frowned. "Can't you tell? It's a picture of a horse wearing a patchwork quilt!"

Martin laughed out loud and ruffled his young son's hair. "Oh Niles… You sure have some imagination."
