It was in the summer when we got it, Vacation Bible School time. The preacher's son, Johnny Rhea, was my buddy, I couldn't WAIT to show off "My" new car...We got in it, & ran the locks back 'n' forth,like 2 little boys would, well, they quit workin...Oh, SHIT ! Tore up Mama's Bran-New Car, & it not even a WEEK old...We put our tails between our legs, went in & told Johnny's daddy, the preacher...Dr Rhea became like an Old Testament prophet, full of Fire 'n' Brimstone...We then told Mama-I KNEW I was gonna DIE... A quick call to the Ford dealership assured ua that we'd just run out the vacuum, it would be FINE as soon as the car started up...Which it was. But, OMG, was Yr Humble Narrator sweatin' Bullets there for awhile...Preacher was MAD, Mama was MAD, & HENRY, my Dad, would have, Well, I don't wanna THINK what The Big H woulda done...
