We did not have a lot of money
so my mom took a job. My brother and I went through several baby
sitters. I don't remember a lot about them except one that could
not cook and another that wanted to keep us from watching TV. I
don' know what possessed me because normally I would never hurt
anyone. But ever since I was a child nothing would get between me
and my Star Trek TV time. Well this lady had the idea that children
should always be outside playing. It was 4 O'clock and time for
Star Trek. She told us we had to stay outside. Something must have
snapped inside of me because I started grabbing the biggest rocks
from my mom's flower bed and began throwing with a vengeance. I
had the poor woman dancing and yelling that she was going to tell
my mom. I did get into the house and watch Star Trek but I realized
I was probably going to get a severe spanking for this. Well my
mom came home and I kind of stayed in the background. The lady proceeded
to tell my mom what happened. Evidently it did not ever sink in
to my mom head what really happened. Are maybe it was that she really
wanted to do this herself. It turns out the lady had been stealing
diapers from my mom so my mother fired her that day. Boy was I lucky
and I still watch Star Trek. Don't get in my way. It was shortly
after that several of the neighbors said they seen me also. They
could not believe such a little boy was throwing such huge rocks.
It created very interesting gossip for our normally uneventful neighborhood.
