| Hula hooping was a Fifties craze mastered by many - a few talented people even used multiple hoops and Daddy was no exception. I looked forward to his return from work each evening since he found time to play. He could do cart-wheels, stand on his head and made up mesmerizing stories about Bomba the Jungle Boy and his elephant friend, sometimes playing a bongo drum for special effects. |

I was lucky to have this man for a dad.
ReplyDeleteJoelle, your Dad sounds like he was a real cut-up and a lot of fun. Incidentally, hula-hooping has had a kind of resurgence. There are competitions, team and individual, and the kids are incredibly good. I sometimes see a bunch of them practicing in a local park.
ReplyDeleteDaddy was a lot of fun - that's what I remember about him most. I didn't know about the hula hoop resurgence. Thank you for the information and thank you also for commenting.
