Many stories were told about my past with their Dad. We were less than a year apart so we were, to say the least, a little active. Because of some over exuberance, we got into trouble once in a while.
Our nearest neighbor w My brother and his three kids came to visit me a couple of months ago. His kids are in their 50's and 60's. But since I don't get out to see them anymore it was pleasant to see them. We had a great time reminiscing and catching up with todays news.
Every once in a while the kids would come up with a question about my past. How did they know about this. Well, you can guess that their Dad told them.as a very elderly man who was on our yard most days. He bought eggs from my Mom.
So my brother and I were about 8 or 9. We quite often made sling shots. The sling shots didn't last very long as they had been made by little boys. However, at times they did have some power.
One day the elderly neighbor came on the yard. The spare tire on his car was mounted on the back of the car. It looked like a great target. I envisioned my self hitting the bull's eye in the center of the wheel. Would all the kids think I was great.
Well, was I not only far off the target. I hit the back window and broke it. Silence took over very rapidly. The gentle man was not happy. He went in the house to talk to Mom. There were more kids on the yard besides my family. Things quieted down very quickly and my rash action brought a chill over the group.
So this is what one of my brother's kids brought up. So some things stick with you your whole life. I imagine they will be talking about this long after I am gone.
