Isn’t this a cute photo of my parents?
So, I had the best parents and the very best childhood one could ask for growing up. Now, of course, we had some snafus…who doesn’t. Accidents DO happen from time to time. It’s like that old Bucky Covington song… “It was a different world.”
Well, Cynthia Kay is always tellin’ tales on me, so I figured I’d tell a funny story about her. When I was little, my parents got me a trampoline, and of course, this was before the netting around them. She would always tell me “Aleta, only jump in the middle, I don’t want you to fall off and get hurt."
So, when I was about four, there I was… Jumping in the middle, like she’d told me. And she was standing by the side of it, keeping a watchful eye on me. After an afternoon of jumping, it was time to come in. She told me to come over to her. So, over to her I hopped. She reached out her arms for me. I hopped right by the edge, by where she was standing. She still had her arms stretched out, when over her head I went…and face planted on the ground.
Lesson learned: Accidents DO happen…to the best of parents. Lol.
What can I say? I survived to jump another day.
