Wanda Hickey's Night Of Golden Memories (2010) - Plot & Excerpts
You don’t play with it anymore, you’re a general now. It’s just gathering dust in the cellar. And if you don’t want that little hatchet you got for your birthday, I’ll get rid of that, too. I don’t want it just banging around the house. It’s liable to cause more trouble.” I am hearing George Washington’s mother speaking in a quavery, old-timy voice, filtering through the hazy mists of past ages. There in the case right in front of my eyes was a stylish, archaic, hunched-up kind of cart with big spoked wheels. You could even see vestigial flecks of ancient red paint. The card read: TOY WAGON GENERALLY SUPPOSED TO HAVE BELONGED TO GEORGE WASHINGTON AS A CHILD. THIS PRICELESS RELIC HAS BEEN ALMOST CONCLUSIVELY AUTHENTICATED. George Washington’s little red wagon! My mind boggled at the thought of the Father of Our Country tugging his high-spoked wooden toy through the boondocks, his 18th Century overalls faintly damp, his 18th Century kidshoes trailing laces in the sand, on his way to becoming the most successful revolutionist in all history.
