One professor at Boston
University said that today's parents didn't know how to organize " the
family leisure." He suggested having a picnic in the backyard.
I read it, gathered the family and said that in the evening we were going to
have a picnic.
My son George said that neighbors would think we had gone mad. My wife wondered
what I was holding in my hands. It was our new blanket.
I explained that we would sit and eat baked potatoes. We spread out the blanket
in front of the garage and built a fire. I noticed the neighbors looking out
the windows, but asked my wife and children not to pay attention to them. My
wife grumbled that we were sitting on the rocks. Finally, she nudged me and
said that someone had come to us. I looked up and saw two police officers. One
of them said that they had got the message that someone was sitting on a
blanket.
