The story of me getting paddled by my elementary principle started with a leap off a 4th grade desk to clothesline my friend.

Kids today don’t know. I broke my arm in a pile up playing pavement football. Cast from my knuckles to my shoulder. Used a coat hanger to scratch. No cell phones. Parents not home. Grandparents not home. 18 yr old uncle answered. Picked me up from school. He stopped in the Wendy’s drive thru for himself on the way to the hospital.

My 18 year old uncle was my older brother’s friend who was about 7-8 years older than me. His name was Dale and Dale drove a work in progress IROC-Z. Dale almost killed us while speeding down a country road on his way to take me to the golf course. Dale also was ok with letting me, a 13 year old, drive his car around the nearby state park.

Dale was there for me as long as I didn’t rat him out by telling my bro that Dale was stealing his weed.

Erector sets. Teach him how to work with his hands.

Plus, at age 3, he'll get plenty of iron when he swallows all those little bolts and nuts.

The Billy character in stranger things so perfectly captures all of the dales we knew back then
