THE TRUTH ABOUT GROWING PAINS

I JUST READ THE NEW INSERT ABOUT TWO OF MY FAV-O-RITE PEOPLE KIE AND BRE. AND THE GROWING PAINS THAT THEY ARE IN AT THIS TIME IN THERE LIVES. IT GOT ME TO THING ABOUT MY OWN GROWING PAINS AND COMMAS AS A CHILD.

FLASHING STAR..... AND THE STORY STARTS....

I CAN ONLY TELL YOU PART OF THE STORY BECAUSE THAT IS ALL I CAN REMEMBER. NOT DO TO ALL THE DRUGS AS SOME OF YOU MIGHT THINK. MORE LIKE ALL THE BLUNT TRAUMA TO MY HEAD. I HAD GOT A PAIR OF POPEYE BINOCULARS. AND AT THIS TIME I WAS ABOUT 7 AND ONE OF MY MANY SISTERS WAS JUST A FEW YEARS OLDER THEN ME. I WAS NOT INTO LETTING OTHER PEOPLE PLAY WITH MY THING. WHEN SHE ASKED ME TO LET HER SEE THE BINOCULARS I HAD PUT THEM OUT TO HER AND PULLED THEM BACK QUICKLY. NOT LETTING HER GET TO LOOK INTO THEM. SHE WAS NOT ABOUT TO LET ME GET AWAY WITH THAT. SO WHEN I TURN TO GET A LOOK AT WHAT I THOUGHT WOULD BE HER SAD FACE... MUCH TO MY SURPRISE SHE PULLED A CORRINE... YES THAT'S RIGHT SHE WENT CRAZY ON MY ASS. SHE PUSHED THE POPEYE BINOCULARS RIGHT INTO MY FACE. VERY HARD. AT THAT MOMENT I HAD JUST GOT TWO BLACK EYES. AND I WAS A VERY WHITE KIDS SO THIS WAS SOMETHING THAT WE COULD NOT HIDE.

KNOWING THAT WE WOULD HAVE TOGO INSIDE AT SOMETIME. MY SISTER PUSHED ME DOWN AND HIT ME A FEW MORE TIMES SAYING THAT IF I TOLD SHE WOULD HIT ME SOME MORE. ONCE INSIDE MY MOM ASKED ME WHAT HAD HAPPEN TO MY FACE. THE ONLY WORD THAT WOULD COME OUT OF MY MOUTH WAS MY SISTERS NAME. IT WAS LIKE I HAD NO CONTROL OF MY TONGUE. MOM BECAME RUBBER I DON'T REMEMBER MOM EVEN MOVING. MY SISTER DID NOT STAND A CHANCE. YOU SEE AT THIS TIME PIG TALES WERE ALL THE RAGE. NOT ONLY WERE PIG TAILS COOL , THEY MADE GREAT HANDLES. HANDLES YOU SAY... YES... MOM GOT A HOLD OF THAT PIG TAIL, AND BEGAN TO SPIN. MY SISTER GOT LIFT. ONCE IN THE AIR MOM LET GO, AND MY SISTER WENT RIGHT IN TO THE WALL. THANK GOD FOR THAT WALL. NO TELLING HOW FAR SHE MIGHT HAVE GONE. MY SISTER LOOKED LIKE A RAG DOLL HITTING THAT WALL.

AT THE TIME IS WAS NOT SO FUNNY BUT NOW LOOKING BACK ON IT. WHEN SHE HIT THE WALL IT WAS FUNNY.

NOW THAT'S A GROWING PAIN...
