week 23: marbles
"Those boys play for keeps."
I was five years old and wanted a bag of marbles of my own so I could play with the neighbor kids. My father finally relented with the warning, "Don't come crying for any more if you lose them." Happily, I ran off with my small bag of marbles.
Later, when I came home empty handed, he started to give me the I-told-you-so talk.
I said, "It's okay, Dad. I just need a bigger bag to bring home the ones I won."
and that's my marble story
