My Old Kentucky Home

This is a story from my childhood when I lived in Kentucky. It includes costuming and role-play and ,believe it or not, Bucky wasn’t involved. I’m thinking I was probably about eight or nine when my brother, Tardist, and I pulled this one off.

Tardist, posted a story about some neighbors. There was Marty, who was probably four years younger than I was. And there was his younger brother, Bobby, who was probably a year and a half younger than Marty.

Since they were younger we figured it would be easy to play a trick on them. I got my hair braided and stuck the braids up under a baseball cap. Then we went down to Marty and Bobby’s and I was introduced as Tardist’s cousin, Tom Ford.

Marty was, perhaps, a bit skeptical. I think Bobby swallowed the thing hook, line, and sinker. I don’t think we did this very many times, but it’s made for some good laughs over the years.

You see, folks, Bucky comes by it naturally. She just takes it to extremes.
