On a warm spring day, some of us jockish kids were playing football on the top field. Below us, on the lower field, Matthew sat by himself on the top metal tube railing that ran along a section of the school.

Todd, a school friend, bet me a buck I couldn’t hit Matthew with the football from the top field...Pfft. Hold my school milk, Bish!

I launched a perfect spiral across our field and down into the playground hitting Matthew square in his left eye. It knocked him backwards off the top railing, spun him into the second lower railing hitting the back of his head or back on it- couldn’t tell for sure, too far away. Then he face plants on the grass, where he laid motionless for several seconds.

I thought I’d killed Matthew. He finally sit’s up, letting out the loudest, screaming howl noise that a couple of the teachers easily heard and rushed over to him.

I’m thinking “Oh, Shît” I’m gonna be in so much trouble....Fortunately for me, Matthew, didn’t know what had happened. The teachers didn’t notice the autographed by Joe Namath football laying in the grass. Teachers assumed Matthew just lost his balance and fell off the railing.

I never did collect my dollar from Todd.

PS

Matt, I’m sorry I smashed your face with a football. My bad !






When I was about 6 years old, all the roads in the trailer park were paved with broken up sea shells.

There was dweeb kid kept coming around with his loudmouth big sister trying to steal one of our bluetick pups.
I picked up a snail shell and winged it all the way across the yard and drilled that boy in the side of the neck. Seen blood instantly and he started squallin and hollerin and his sister both ran off.

I never heard nothing of it and they didn’t come back. Always thought I killed that kid. LOL
