'The News from Lake Wobegon'

GK received thousands of irate letters about his raunchy pun about Lyle in last week's essay. He feels innocent because it was unintentional. If you get reprimanded for something that you didn't do, consider that it was for the times when the mistake was in your favor. GK would be sent to his room to be punished but he loved to be alone in his room so that he could scare himself. When he was ten, he clouted his cousin, Ralph, with a pair of stilts. Ralph said that he would spend the rest of his life in prison and GK has worried about it ever since. Eric Tolerude is raising two pigs, Wesley and Bubbles as his 4H project. Wesley got stuck in the mud and got a cold. Eric took him in the house and stayed up with him until the fever broke. That's all the news from LW for this week. GK is still afraid that he will put his tongue on a frozen pump handle, even though there is a Minnesota program to remove pump handles. Children don't be afraid.
