    Driver’s Test

    Grandpa tells the story of his first and only driver’s test, with his family’s old stick shift 1970 (and 1/2) Ford Torino. On this driver’s test the officer giving the test asked Grandpa a very important question, “Do you know how fast you are going?”

    Although Grandpa didn’t quite learn it then, this story brings up lessons regarding honesty and safety while driving. The officer did pass the test, but perhaps only because he was amused by Grandpa’s creative answer.

    Lost With The Kitties

    In this Grandpa Hill Slightly Wiser True Story, Grandpa loses a child at the Columbus Ohio City Zoo.  Grandpa Hill had a system to make it easy for a lost child to find him.  He wears a yellow shirt. The yellow shirt system failed and Brian, the lost child, had an adventure while lost with the “kittys”.  To this day no one knows if Brian ever petted the “kitty”, with spots. It just so happened to be as tall as he was.  From Gorf and Marshmallow we learn that Grandpa Hill does improve the yellow shirt system. With his improvements he didn’t lose children very often after this incident.
