One night Mom asked him what he wanted to drink for supper and asked if he wanted water. Well he said"no" Of couse I asked WHY? To which he said"water will rust your pipes." I said "no sir we ain't got pipes" Well we went back and forth till he had me convienced that water truely would rust your pipes !!! I believed that till I was bout 12 yrs. old !!!!! Never mind what Mom or Dad would tell me !!!!!!!!
