MILL CREEK STORIES

The Scarecrow
Family history always includes a
few characters. Doing scarecrow
impressions may be among the
more original.

I am a southerner, born and bred. My
family has called Virginia home
since before the Revolutionary
War and we are all quite pleased to
still be here. While some may
think the hundreds of years we
have spent living here is my family's
way of establishing heritage, the truth
of the matter is decidedly less noble.
My ancestors either owed money to, or had sorely
disappointed, most of Europe's population. Hopping
a leaky boat to the New World was one of the better
options available to them. After that shaky, notexactly-the-love-boat ride across the Atlantic so many
years ago, my people swore that they would never
endure another move. Where are we? Virginia? This
will do. Mama put the kettle on, we are home.
So we are well and truly Southern. To be Southern
is to be naturally comfortable with unconventional
behavior, particularly among your friends and family.
