All of us tried to get it out but it quickly got beyond us, so at that point they decide to skedaddle and scooped me and my brother into the car.
A potential disaster I did perpetrate was somewhere around 59 to 62. Close to dusk I was playing around on some earth moving equipment in a residential construction zone, jumping from piece to another and messing around with the levers knobs and controls. I think it was one of those hinged scrapers I was on when it started up, and after about 40 seconds of it running it got moving at a slow speed.
About that time with all of its various undulating motions, I quickly realized I had no control over this beast, and I leaped off hard as I could into the dirt. But it was not over yet for me, because the beast was angered about being awakened, and had begun a wide turn and the monster was coming back around towards me! I shot like a rabbit toward and through some piles of dirt and got the hell out of there. I took one last look back, and the monster was still going around in a circle looking for sight of me.
I think it is a good thing that parents are unaware of 99.5% of things that happen with/to their kids until several generations later :-)
I took one last look back, and the monster was still going around in a circle looking for sight of me.What a great story. I can just see the beast coming after you. Who says monsters aren't real. Glad it didn't get you!
HAHhahhaa.... You remind me of my brothers. We went to a football game with our rivals. We won, 35-0. On the way out, I was driving the family’s Travelall. All of a sudden they jumped in the back and yelled “drive!” The next morning I heard one of the homecoming floats burst into flames because “someone” was smoking on the platform. Years later I married a man from the rival school. I was laughingly telling the story when he told me that was HIS TRUCK. My brothers were understandably silent.....looking all nonchalant...so innocent.
Like the imagery.
ROFL! Great image.
