We blew all our money at the mall and couldn't afford to ride the bus home. We had a 6 mile walk over the next two hours. Near the end, a faster ride on the bumper of a Frito Lay truck sounded like a good idea. text/html 2020-06-01T22:53:41+0000 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://www.joeldare.com/wiki/story:start?rev=1591052021&do=diff Childhood Stories This is a collection of stories from my childhood. I often tell these stories to my friends and co-workers. Someone once told me that I should write a book about my experiences. A few of them might come off as exaggerations, but the memories are clear. Some of these are stories I kept to myself for years. My parents have not heard most of them. I've decided to collect them here. One day, I may have enough information to publish that book.
