Carol Perkins: White Hair

Previous Column: Hayrides

By Carol Perkins

When children speak, they don't think of the consequences like most adults do. So when Joseph, our grandson, told his Papa that he looked old, Guy knew it must be true.

We were eating our Pizza Hut spaghetti and Joseph looked left and then right and realized the elderly (in his eyes) surrounded him. "Does it take a long time to get old?" he asked.

"Yes, a long time. Why?" He was probably thinking of himself and wasn't in any hurry.

He looked at Guy and spoke as if Guy weren't in the room. "Papa is old, isn't he?" Guy nearly choked on his meatballs.

"What makes you think Papa is old?" I asked.

"Well, look at him!"

Legislative committee discusses housing issues

From Jordan Hensley, LRC

Frankfort, KY -- Kentuckians have long commutes and struggle to find an affordable place to live, according to data shared with lawmakers Thursday.
