My Thoughts
And welcome to them
People used to pity me. There I was, at the
tender age of seven, with what appeared to be a
premature case of acne.
“Poor thing," they would comment, "can you
imagine what she’s going to look like when she
hits puberty?"
No one ever answered that question, they just
shook their heads in sympathy, and hoped they
wouldn't be around to witess the result.
I have to admit, my forehead did look an awful
lot like the lid of a salt shaker with all its tiny
holes and pick marks, but I didn't have a case of
acne. What I had was a glaring case of stupiditis,
commonly known as the “my brother builds
traps in his straw forts and I fall into them,”
syndrome.
You know what it was like. Puppy dog-like little
sister trailing big brother farmer around the
straw mow while he stacks bales and makes
forts.
"Oh, George, (he always called me George,
Henry, Richard, dr any combination of these, but
never, never my right name) you gotta see this
one," he would whisper, as he stuck his head out
of one end of the fort, and wiggled his index
finger at me with an anticipatory grin. Somehow
he always reminded me of the stranger my
mother told me to watch out for who would say
to me, “Hey, little girl, want some candy?" and
then steal me. Fortunately for my parents, I
never ran into that man with the candy, because
if I would have fallen for his lines like I did for my
brother's, the family would have gone bankrupt
from paying the ransom money.
Anyway, I always grabbed the bait, and like a
fool, climbed into the hole to experience the
wonderful mysteries of the straw fort. And, when
I did, I always met my Waterloo, like the time the
tarantulas attacked me...
