Nameless Being
 
Ouch! Yep I think I blocked out of my memory a lot of booboos I did, but nothing that bad! My brother Derryl was accident proned. We made a lot of trips to the ER with him, and those trips were usually because of self-inflicted wounds due to lack of common sense on his part, although sometimes I was the cause. I sliced him open one day with a kitchen steak knife. It was an accident. I was mimicking Errol Flynn's swashbuckler movie character. That is my story anyway and I'm sticking to it! I also went to scare him one day by pretending to shoot him in the butt with a BB gun. He was being an annoying older brother. As he turned to walk down the stairs I put what I thought was an unloaded Daisy BB rifle up to his butt and squeezed the trigger. It was loaded and cocked and he flinched and then lost his balance and rolled down the staircase! Another time he crept up behind me and hit me in the back of the head with a toy water pistol. He thought because it was a water pistol and made of plastic that it wouldn't hurt. Toys don't hurt, right? He saw this many times on the Mannix TV detective show where Mannix was always getting hit in the back of the head with a revolver by various bad guys. Anyway it did hurt, so I picked up a some object and smacked him with it. It knocked him out. Didn't mean to hit him that hard, but again, he deserved it. It is kind of amazing any of us brothers lived to see adulthood.
