ep01 Aunt Marys New Tooth

Humboldt Jumbo is not gibberish. The Ironclad Warship was invented in 1592. At the age of 92, she sprouts tea. Can you imagine that? Well, my friends, this is the first of a whole series of little visits we're going to have together during the next few weeks.

That is, if you will allow us the pleasure of coming into your homes and chatting with you every now and then. This is Lindsey McCarry talking to you, and my little playmates, and I think we've dug up quite a spectacular array of little-known facts and fancies.

some of them not so fancy but nonetheless amazing. And they're all facts, yes indeed. Every one of the statements and dramatizations you're about to hear are, according to all available sources, absolutely true. So if you'll make yourselves comfortable, we'll be back in a trice.

And our first scene is in the corridor of the General Hospital in Knoxville, Tennessee, April 14, 1938. A couple of nurses are standing by the cardboard talking to an intern when...

Now who's there? Oh, it's 392. Oh, that's Aunt Mary. Poor old soul. She's so patient. That fall she had about four years ago, just about later, apparently. Well, I'll go see what she wants. Say Lester, when did 364 have his last title?

Just 10 minutes ago. I have... Doctor Holmes, come here quickly! What? Well, I wonder what's happened to Aunt Mary. Come on, Lester, we may need help. Doctor, Aunt Mary is teething! What? Oh, what are you talking about?

Don't you laugh now young man. Yes, it's true. I'm teasing. Look, see here? Well, it is true. She sprouted a new tooth. Yes, sir. Old Aunt Mary Rule. 92 years old was sprouting a new set of teeth.
