Growing up in Emporia, Kansas, I distinctly remember on one occasion riding home with my Mom and every day we would pass the biggest cemetery in town, about the size of Maple Park. This one day, there were kids playing in the cemetery and my Mom hit the brakes, squealed tires, and just about came unglued. She yelled at those kids to get home right now, or she was calling the police. At the time, I thought she was overreacting, but I'm much older and wiser now. jay --- Eleanor Prieskorn <dalell@earthlink.net> wrote: > I guess all of you know by now that those poor > mistreated > children are striking back, but you don't dare give > them the > attention on there back side that they needed when > they were > much younger.
