Lost all his marbles
when we lived in San Jose i must have been about five or six. My dad had built us this teeter toter ( i guess thats how you spell it ) my brother and a friend were playing on it and i wanted to get on so they put me on. well i had a pocket full of marbles and every time i go down some marbles would fall out of my pocket. when we finished playing on the darn thing i lifted up the board on my side and went underneath to pick up my marbles and our friend went over to the other side of the darn thing and picked up the other side and the board came down and hit me on the head. and they start laughing at me well that hurt like heck, so i came out of there throwing anything i could get my hands on.our friend lived close by, there was a couple houses down the road and then there was this empty lot then his house. well I'm chasing them and I'm throwing rocks and stuff at em cause I'm madder then hell at them. Our friend runs across the empty lot and jumps over this little fence that they have separating there house from the empty lot. I'm running thru the lot and I can't find anything to throw at them and I just happen to look down and there's this shiny piece of metal laying on the ground, it's about 2 inches wide and about 12 to 16 inches long and real thin and shiny and i just pick it up and throw it.Well this kids on the other side of the fence and he's pointing at me and he's laughing at me.Well when i released that piece of metal i didn't see it after it left my hand because i was looking at the thin side,but when it started coming down it looked like a helicopter blade and i could see it real plain like because when it came down the flat side was facing me. well I'm looking at this thing coming down and i'm seeing this kid standing there laughing at me and then "whack" it sticks right in his forehead. The kid goes down and his moms right there she sees the whole thing, she lets out this big scream and i take off running cause this kids laying on the ground with this piece of metal stuck in his head, i thought i killed him. I ran all the way home and i go under the house to my little hideaway down there and i wait to see what happens and I'm down there for awhile and i don't hear nothing so i'm thinking it must not have been as bad as i thought. My moms in the kitchen so i go in there and i'm being real nice then i hear "MOOOOOOM YOU NEED TO GO SEE WHAT BUDDY DID" Mom let me have it big time for that one then Pop got a hold of me.My mind must have gone blank because I don't know what happened to me after that.The kid lived but i don't remember ever playing with him again.

Dad always used to say, you lost all your marbles. I wonder if thats where that started
ReplyDeletewho told g-ma
ReplyDeleteThats a good question, you know I never asked them if they remember that incident.You would think they would remember something like that. Jack and I were talking about it the other day,I try and go over these stories with different family members so I know I have them right and so far my stories have been on the money except for one,but it was close enough. Like I said before people have different opinions of what they seen so there stories might be a little different,but thats o.k. with me as long as the basics of the story are the same.
