Have Space Suit - Will Travel 1958 Robert A. Heinlein Contents Chapter One Chapter Two Chapter Three Chapter Four Chapter Five Chapter Six Chapter Seven Chapter Eight Chapter Nine Chapter Ten Chapter Eleven Chapter Twelve Chapter One You see I had this space suit. How it happened was this way: quotDadquot I said quotI want to go to the Moon.quot quotCertainlyquot he answered and looked back at his book. It was Jerome K. Jeromes Three Men in a Boat which he must know by heart. I said quotDad please Im serious.quot This time he closed the book on a finger and said gently quotI said it was all right. Go ahead.quot quotYes ... but howquot quotEhquot He looked mildly surprised. quotWhy thats your problem Clifford.quot Dad was like that. The time I told him I wanted to buy a bicycle he said quotGo right aheadquot without even glancing up — so I had gone to the money basket in the dining room intending to take enough for a bicycle. But there had been only eleven dollars and forty-three cents in it so about a thousand miles of mowed lawns later I bought a bicycle. I hadnt said any more to Dad because if money wasnt in the basket it wasnt anywhere Dad didnt bother with banks — just the money basket and one next to it marked quotUNCLE SAMquot the contents of which he bundled up and mailed to the government once a year. This caused the Internal Revenue Service considerable headache and once they sent a man to remonstrate with him. First the man demanded then he pleaded. quotBut Dr. Russell we know your background. Youve no excuse for not keeping proper records.quot quotBut I doquot Dad told him. quotUp here.quot He tapped his forehead. quotThe law requires written records.quot quotLook againquot Dad advised him. quotThe law cant even require a man to read and write. More coffeequot The man tried to get Dad to pay by check or money order. Dad read him the fine print on a dollar bill the part about quotlegal tender for all debts public and private.quot In
