Sally Star was a good friend of my next door neighbors growing up. When I was a little tyke, Sally occasionally babysat for us when she was up from Philadelphia visiting. Her show was my favorite at the time and I always tried being on my best behavior for her. I recall thinking she looked so much different out of her cowboy suit and was quite a different person in person. One time she told us a story about banshees, and she was a great storyteller. I sat there terrified but kept this stupid smile on my face as I didn’t want her to think I was a wimp... and I was in the presence of greatness. To this day I can still envision the ghost like lady with a flowing white dress swaying in the wind, hovering over the old stone bridge, faint traces of far off lightning illuminating the countryside, waiting to trap small children wanting to cross at night. That night my parents had to deal with me screaming in my sleep from nightmares all night. The next day they told me... That’s it, NO MORE Sally Star!


Oh no! and parents wonder why kids don't tell them everything!

I have a similar story that I've posted before about how I convinced my little brother that we had caught an alien and stuffed it in a pillowcase. When I handed him said pillowcase, which contained our cat, the cat's claws popped out through the bottom of the pillowcase and ripped out the seam. The cat spilled out on the floor and took off. My brother let out a scream and ran in the other direction! Woke up the whole house. I almost gave myself a rupture I was laughing so hard.

SwiftDad was not happy as he he had just gotten in from working a graveyard shift. He did give me points for originality though :)

My brother is still pi**ed at me about that incident. Especially when I told my niece how her Dad screamed like a girl ;;D
And, ratting out a sibling is also like baseball, hot dogs, apple pie and Chevrolet!

Speaking of siblings....

My sister is almost exactly a year younger than I am, so we didn't really have an older/younger dynamic. We were just jerks to each other in different ways. It's all good now, but there were a few years when casual bloodshed was the order of the day.

My infamous friend Bruce and I decided to go into the tall weeds-of-unusual-size out by the water. I don't remember if we'd planned to start a campfire there or if the idea occurred to us (him) when we arrived. What I do remember is that I personally had no matches.

Later the family and I were sitting at dinner listening to the news which was reporting a serious brush fire out by the lake. I got scared and my parents could see it so I confessed that Bruce and I had built a campfire there and it had kind of gotten out of hand...

I remember Dad saying, "What?!", then quickly, "Don't tell anybody else."

Can I have your Dad's phone number? I can tell you right now he'd be a way cooler alibi witness than my Dad would, and you never know when you're gonna need good people like that around...
