Back in the dayI was thinking today about my sisters and brothers. How much fun we had...each in different combinations.My little brothers are twins. We, being the 3 boys, had it as our jobs to do as many stupid things in one day as possible all the while trying not to let it hurt very bad. One winter we convinced our friends to stack our sleds (they had runners in those days) on top of each other and go down the hill on the biggest stack of sleds possible. It was slightly stupider when, in the absence of snow one year, we did the same thing with wagons. I remember a fairly spectacular crash into the burn barrel. We must not have damaged it much or I'd remember how mad my Dad was. I remember my little sister. It was my job to "keep her quiet" on Saturday morning so my parents could sleep. I took it seriously...we made the biggest mess we could of the toys in her room, quietly of course. I had the joy of putting them away afterward, but, she was quiet. I was never sure if that was a punishment for her or me... My big sister and I were playmates for a long time as we are very close in age. Of course, she was the wiser one, a position I allowed her for a time because she could beat me up and later because she had a knack for telling on me in ways that I couldn't successfully refute. So, I accepted her wisdom...not that it wasn't good, some of it. Kissing the road that the Beatles traveled to play at the Boston Gardens in 1962 or 3 or whatever year it was didn't seem that wise, (busy road...Montvale Avenue) but she told me it was, so I accepted it....I didn't kiss the road, but when she and her girlfriends did I didn't tell on her...see how it worked? Now we are buried in our lives otherwise engaged. I tell my kids the stories. I wonder what their stories will be...? 9:04 PM - Jan. 18, 2009 - post comment
