Nara: Hi, Alice! Alice: Hi, Nara! I walked here all the way from my house by myself! Nara: Hi, Mrs. Otterloop! Mom: You two have fun! Alice, behave, okay? Alice: Isn't that embarrassing? hanging around watching other people have fun. It's like she has no life of her own. Nara: Let's go play!
My neighborhood bully stopped on the day I ran out of my garage and shoved a broom stick into the front wheel of his bicycle as he rode by. His father came over to give my step-dad what for; until he saw how big and mean looking my step dad could be. They had a drink together, shook hands and thats the last I heard of the “incident”. (BTW. the street in front of our house was crushed oyster shell, not pavement. The kid was covered in bandaids the next day and refused to look at me! Ha!)
