My sister karen was a manhater she hated all men deliriously she would sit on the top of the bunkbed she shared with sue and with one finger curl her hair then pull it out by the roots it was quite disturbing she would spend hours every saturday doing this until she had almost no hair left the family worried for her During the week when I would come home from school (I think I was around 7 or 8) karen (being older and bigger) would run up to me kick me in the gut push me to the floor jump on top of me grab me by the ears and pound my head on the floor until my brains fell out this went on for several weeks until I told my parents and they finally put an end to it One night sue didn't want to get caught eating an apple in bed so she put the core in the toilet and it clogged it we (all four of us) were awakened in the middle of the night and had to line up so my mother could beat us with a belt until someone confessed I was tired so I said okay I did it I got a good belting that night I was suspended from school for a week because the teacher complained that the welts on my back were bleeding so profusely that lt was interrupting the learning process of the other children One day I was coming home from school and I got caught in a hailstorm I got pelted really good Lucky for me Mr. Doty was home for lunch so I took cover under his light blue ford f-series pick-up truck hail as big as golf ***** some the size of baseballs continued to rain down I don't know for how long because I fell asleep "What were you doing under there?" he questioned as he was shaking my arm awakening me (I quess he thought I was messing around or something) I came to and stated "THE GOLF ***** WERE FALLING I NEEDED A PLACE TO HIDE" "oh" he said "you mean to tell me you were in THAT?" "yessir" I replied "well, your schoolday's almost over, maybe you should go home and rest" "yessir" And I went home and rested When karen turned eighteen she married a wife beater for nearly ten years he would ugly 'er up finally she couldn't take anymore and divorced him But she was only following tradition my grandpa beat his wife my father beat his wife and al beat karen Yep, those three knew how to really take a beating But, not from a hailstorm
