I can’t get the image out of my mind of that pink finger coming up through the hole in the manhole cover...just as a car passes over!
It is so classic a thing for a kid to do that ends in disaster...
Fortunately his finger didn’t get run over; and after he’d enjoyed that experience, he moved on to others that were equally questionable.
But he grew up to be a very good man; so, as much as I might have resented all the worry he put me through, I have no complaints now :-)
