Semyon Altov is not ashamed of the fact that he has a bad memory. Even at concerts he sometimes reads his own works and he feels funny because he may not remember his jokes.
He met a girl named Larisa three times. The first time he came to the cultural center, where he taught the “Oral Journal” after the institute, and saw a very pretty girl in the foyer reading a book. I decided to meet him and invited him on a date to his “Oral Journal.” Larisa came on a date, but he didn’t find her. However, that day she herself did not plan to continue their acquaintance, because Semyon did not make much of an impression on her that day.

They met for the second time about a year later, in some common company. The girl played the guitar amazingly, and she was very beautiful in appearance. And he met her again.
When, after some time, he saw in the trade union committee of his own technological institute, it was surprising beautiful girl, sitting at the piano and playing Grieg with inspiration. When Semyon came up to meet her, she was simply indignant: how much is possible? But I still went on a date with him. At the same time, her gentleman, in order not to forget about the date, marked the days of meetings with a cross in special calendar, which the couple still keeps.
And Semyon Altov made the fateful decision to get married after visiting Larisa’s house for the first time. He saw a lonely volume of Bunin on her bookshelf. This was the fifth volume of a five-volume series. The future satirist had the first four, but he never managed to get the fifth at that time. It seemed to both of them that this sign and property should be reunited. In fact, this was their first confession of feelings to each other.

When a son appeared in the family, the couple were very unanimous in that small man– this is already a personality. Therefore, they raised him with great respect, trying not to break or mold him at their own discretion, but simply supporting the child’s desire for what he liked.

When Semyon Teodorovich decided to develop his son’s writing talent, he suggested writing only half a printed page a day on their typewriter.
