It's All In the Ears

Last night we was watching old movies and the star of the night were Loretta Young. This morning I were in the library and I looked her up. She were borned named Gretchen but they changed it later to Loretta. She were one of them peoples what don't get better looking when they grows old. She were still pretty but she were beautiful while she were young. When her and Clark Gable was making a movie way up north in the snowy areas, her and him had a fling (trying to stay warm, I reckon) and she come down with a baby. It were a girl and were put in a orphanage so nobody would know it were hers 'cause back then peoples didn't have no children out of wedlock and talk about it. Later on she adopted the little girl and they named her Judith. Now y'all probably know though Clark were a good looking man he did have real big ears. So did little Judith. When the kids commenced to making fun of her, her momma, Loretta, were kind enough to have her ears pinned back. Little Judy didn't know about who her real daddy were until she got real curious about rumors and made her mamma tell her the truth. We had a rumor going on round here in Harper 'cause of a rash of red headed babies when the mommas and papas was blonde or black headed. Don't think there was nothing to it, but there were a redheaded milkman going all over town delivering milk. I ain't saying nothing; just passing on information.
