Miller - Summer Of '42

From Jack Miller:

I, " Jackinapes," was born at a very young age. All of the other babies with whom I hung out confirmed that I was the cutest and brightest of the four Miller kids. After that early confirmation, we babies just sorta chilled, often reading the likes of Tolstoy and Berra. Mom later confided in me that I told my very first joke as a baby. Apparently, when I saw a moth flying away, I said "he must have looked at his watch." (How I knew it was a HE moth, especially when I was so young and naive, I do not know, nor do I dare say.) It wasn't really much of a joke for such a well-read baby, but you gotta start somewhere. Unfortunately that was my first, worst, and last joke (if such a triad of adjectives is even grammatically possible). 


To be continued if I am reminded of anything even slightly more insignificant than that which I have just stated.
