" California or Bust"


Kids will be kids and I took it to the max. On a sunny warm summer day I wondered out side and behold, Moms car was sitting there in the drive-way doing nothing at all. It was like it was begging me to play in it. Not one to say no to things I should say no to, I jumped in. The gauges, the steering wheel the pedals. The radio. It was an amazing open door to fantasy. First it was an airplane, zoom zoom, all over the sky I went chasing bad guys and shooting them down. Then it was a speed boat. Jumping waves, going under bridges and racing other boats. Of course I always won. Then just as I was getting into all these wonderful things, out comes my little sister of 5 years old...ugh. Whatcha doin? Does Mommy know you are in her car? I better go tell her..no No NO NO NO NO wait. You wanna play? (her) what you playin? (me)oh, just pretending stuff. (her) i wanna go for a ride in the car. (me) fine, hop in the back. We can play Taxi. (her)ok. So in she climbed.(me) where you wanna go miss? (her) i dont know. (me)great, lets just ride around. (her)ok. Shift shift..vroom vroom..off we go. (her) i wanna go to California (we live in Missouri). (me) that is along way, it will cost alot.are you sure? (her) yes and I got lots of money in my purse. So, off we go...more shifting and more vrooming. (her) you dont drive good, I'm not paying you. (me)fine, you want to go to California then go. I put the car in neutral, released the parking brake and stepped out of the car. As the car glided slowly down the drive-way and entered the street my sister was laughing and waving from the back seat as I waved to her from the drive-way. Now she was in the center of a "T" intersection with other cars stopping and honking. The honking alerted our mom to see what was going on. To say she lost it would be an understatement. My sis wanted to do it again, our mom wanted to re-think my birth again and when dad got home he kept slapping my butt again and again and again.


You all be safe......later, Brad
