Dad bought Spumoni ice cream which, as a child, I decided was torture.

Shocking,.. Just Shocking!

That toy truck flew like a rocket when we put the electricity to it. And nearly killed the neighbor doing it.

Scarred For Life!

Mother scarred me for life when she had me wear second-hand girls clothing and tried to convince me they were boys clothes.

All Time Greatest?

I snuck away from a church picnic to slide down the spillway at the lake and nearly killed myself in the process.

The Methodist Ladies, A Dead Body, and the Baptist Church.

We launched a tire from the roof of the parsonage during a church ladies meeting. Someone thought a dead body had fallen.

Paint job on the church.

I will confess to painting on the wall of the church, but will claim that I have a defense. My little sister talked me into it.

Just a little ornery.

Preachers kids have the reputation of being ornery or trouble makers. They are on view for the world to see and expected to be angels. Sometimes they aren’t.
