Ah-HA! I just KNEW you had an outlaw past, LOL! :)
LOLOLOL. The biggest mistake in my life is that I gave that kid a “Tommy Tell Time” watch for Christmas when he was 6. It was an analog watch with all the seconds listed around the dial, and you could tell the exact time by reading it a certain way. He used to sit on the rectory steps and inform me that I was exactly 5 minutes 35 seconds late in arriving! Worse than that, he woud inform his father. (He’s a nuclear researcher for Westinghouse now with a Phd in Material Science and 5 kids of his own. I should give one of them a watch like that!)
So later on, after showing him the way and checking on him, I gave him permission to start walking home on a prescribed route where I would pick him up. When he ratted me out to his father, the proverbial S hit the fan and I was informed in no uncertain terms by my husband that I was to be on time in the future, no matter what the traffic was like!
