Jokes on me!


When my Dad built a beam structure to change motors on his cars he would tie a tire swing for us on there if he wasn’t using it. We spent a lot of time on that swing. My Dad had taken it off to work on one of his cars and it had been off for a long time. That summer I had made a tire swing that we played with a lot on the North side of the farm. Under the swing we put old car seats for cushioning in case we fell off. One day I was mad at my sisters for some for a reason I don’t remember. I came up with a plan for my revenge that at that time seems a good one. . The day I was mad I climbed the tree and cut the rope through just enough so it will break when they us it. Well days went by and no one used it maybe even weeks. Now during one of my exploring day I came by our tire swing and it wasn’t long before I was on it swinging as high as I could on it. High was never high enough so I went higher and higher. Suddenly I heard a noise and found myself flying in the air over shooting the car seats and on to the ground still sitting in the tire. Once I recovered from the sudden shock I realized what had happen. I remember feeling stupid that I had been caught in my own trap. I guess you could say that was my first act of revenge and one that thought me a good lesson. Through out my life I would come to a conclusion that if I do something wrong it will back fire on me so its best to stay on the path of good and I’m sure that was one of the incident that convinced me of this .
