Life With Father by Clarence Day

In preparing for our latest storytime (for grownups) I reread Life with Father by Clarence Day. It must be read as a product of it's day, late Victorian New York, but even so I had to do very little in-my-head editing. The stories were written by the son for the periodical The New Yorker, appearing in the 1930's. As a child visiting my maternal grandparents I would watch the movie of the same title. It was a favorite there because the 'Father' was so like my own grandfather. Almost all of the stories make me smile, several make me chuckle, and my favorites make me laugh out loud and want to read it again.
