Looking for Tudy's Bottle
I remember when my baby sister was about 18 months old, my Mom and my Grandma Smith were trying to put my sister down to sleep.
They were putting her down in the bed in the room that served as the kitchen, dining room and bedroom. The front room served as living room, and bedroom for Grandma and Grandpa. That was when Grandma and Grandpa only had two rooms to their house.
Anyway, Tudy would say she wanted her bottle. Every time Mama would give her the bottle she would throw it and cry for the bottle again. Tudy wanted to go outside to get her bottle. So we all went outside (except for Grandpa) with the flashlight looking for Tudy's bottle. We get out there and what does Tudy do? She crawls under the house and comes back out with one of Grandpa's wine bottles!
That was back when Grandpa still drank alcohol. He would drink wine and beer. Grandma never allowed anyone to bring alcohol into the house so Grandpa would drink outside and he hid his wine bottles under the house. Tudy must have been watching Grandpa and decided she wanted to try out some of the stuff Grandpa was drinking. The house was up on blocks so there was space under the house.
Of course Tudy wasn't allowed to have any of Grandpa's wine but leave it to her to have us going on a wild goose chase right from the start. Never a dull moment with that girl, I tell ya even when she was a baby.
