"Really, Dad, you didn't have a computer when you were a kid?" asked Molly.
"Computer?? We didn't have cell phones, the Internet, or cable TV back then. We were lucky to have a black and white T.V......well, Honey, time to go to sleep," said Dad, reaching over to turn off the light.
"Not so fast," said Molly. "Don't I get a goodnight story?" Dad was so forgetful.
"I've heard all those stories a million times. You tell me a story from when you were a kid," said Molly. "Maybe one of those 'Little Jackie' stories?"
Dad's face suddenly had a big smile on it and he said, "I can do that." And so he began....
Once upon a time, although it wasn't a long time ago......Jackie Berry and his friends were running down the avenue at breakneck speed. Lily, Jackie's mom, spotted Jackie and caught him in her arms.
