This brings to mind the time I broke a toy wooden rifle over my twin brother’s head (it’s astonishing we lived through childhood).
He refused to rat me out to our parents at first, but we got into an argument and he threatened to do just that (it was only the two of us; I don’t know what the mystery was to my parents). So I hit him in the face with a plastic seat from our swing set and ran to turn myself in.
I barely remember the moment, but I recall it making a sound not altogether different from the one on the video.
My brother was four years older but still I fought with him, physically, like an idiot. I took quite a bit of punishment before I learned to fight dirty and run, climb a tree where he couldn’t follow, barricade myself somewhere. Sometimes I had to wait for a while but I didn’t care. He knew I would die of thirst, starve to death, if I had to. So he would give up and go away.
He earned it. The big devil would hide in the dark and jump out yelling boo or gotcha. That was the worst. I would take a whuppin’ before the “boo” in the dark thing.
Dang!

You get what you pay for.
Those were the days. Good times.
Hope it was…iPadded.

Fighting dirty is good. Especially if your enemy is bigger and stronger.
Carole, you were like a little Viet Cong fighter. The Man in the Black Pajamas.
Worthy fucking adversary.
Brother still eyes me with slight suspicion today.
