Huey and me really had a time after school started. The back side of the mountain where the ole mill was, was really steep and we got some pieces of tin roof, bent one end up and slid down the side of the mountain. We sure did have fun until one day Mom saw us and made us quit. She said if we fell off, those pieces of tin would cut our heads off. Since we didn’t want to go around without heads, we didn’t do that no more. Dad made Huey and me skooters out of some two by fours and some wheels he got from some where, and we skooted them things up and down the roads around town. It was rough goin over the holes and the rocks in the road but it was lots of fun.
One day Huey said, “Let’s don’t go to
school today. We can go down to the spring and go fishin.” That sounded good to
me, so we pulled up some bushes and crawled across the road with them bushes in
front of us. Huey said that’s the way the Indians did when they was creepin up
on the wagon trains. Mrs. Sullivan musta seen them bushes movin cross the road
cause she came tarin down the road hollering, “Huey you and Junior get right up
there to school.” So that ended our fishin for that day. I sure was glad she
didn’t tell Mom cause I’da had to sleep on my belly again.
