Last month we had a black Baptist substitute Minister and he brought his wife and 6 year old son. In the service we have a children's moment where all the children in the church come to the front and try to answer riddles and jokes and told a short story based on the sermon and a children's prayer. Usually regular Pastor does it but he was on his honeymoon and one of the Sunday school teachers did it. The riddle was "What is brown and hairy and lays on the beach with sunglasses?" The Ministers 6 year old son stands up, points at the Minister and shouts, "My Dad!!!" LOL!!! The answer was a coconut.
The Minister thanked his son for pointing out an accurate description of him. In the sermon the Minister started getting loud and full of the spirit, then he stops and says "Whoa!" takes a few deep breaths and says "Got to remember this is a Presbyterian Church." I swear I go to the Church of the Laughing Jesus!
I remember Woolworths too. I went to what was the largest one in Denver, Colorado. I also remember when they all shut down. They started out as a 5 and dime store in the old days. They did not sell groceries.
