A sticky situation

(1954 June 28)

We worked at the lawn party 6-8 last night. LL dipped ice cream and I dipped berries. He would not sit down on the chair provided and therefore utterly exhausted himself so he had to sit in the car and wait for us. After much prying at home I got the admission that the chair seat was sticky with ice cream. I am still mad at him because had he but mentioned it, a newspaper was handy. But you know your father.
