Looey and Hans Get a Spanking: Stereoviews A-Z




No 'time-out' for kids in 
those days!! 

What else can I say?
 
"Hans, we will put powder in Fader's pipe. Yes? No?"

"Ach, Looey, you haf such a head for smartness. Vat?"


"Oh, such an explosionness. Dis is better 
as der 4th of Chuly."


"Help--Murder--Fire! I am gone dead alretty yet!"


 "I gif you fireworks, vat? You vill half fun mit me, yea?"





(See Post A and Post B for history of Stereoviews/Stereoscope)

  3. Thanks everyone for stopping by. Love your comments! These boys remind me of my brother at that age (he was good at pulling pranks :).

"Stay" is a charming word in a friend's vocabulary
(A.B. Alcott). Stay and visit awhile. Your comments mean a lot to me.
