How I Put A Bully In His Place
I wasn't going to put up with it! It was time to get back at the bully and that I did! I'd like to share the story how at nine years of age I took actions to get back at the playground bully. He was about 3 years my senior and delighted to push us younger ones around. I recall one particular incident I said to myself that enough was enough! My parents usually gave me a nickel [5 cents] or a dime once a day. In the early 1960's that'd buy you a chocolate bar or a can of soda...and so I did. Tommy the bully came around...grabbed the chocolate bar from my hand and laughed while consuming it away. The only thing I could think was to get him in trouble and if I was going to do it I wanted to make it BIG TIME trouble. I watched his house to see when his parents got home and upon seeing them drive in the driveway I knew the time had come. I waited a few moments to let them get settled. My friends asked, "Are you really going to do it?"https://upload...
