I, being the oldest at 7 and the son, felt it my honor and duty to accompany dad in the 4430 while hauling manure. Being mightily injured when my 5 year old sister usurped my position, I decided it would be sensible to talk her out of riding with him. Well, we sat there and argued the whole time he was loading the spreader and I pretty much had her convinced when I suddenly changed my mind. I got up, opened the door, and got out. When I slammed the door, I realized my sister's hand was in it. No amount of consoling or threatening would get her to stop crying and dad was heading for the cab so I decided it was time to leave. I ran off and hid under the junk wagon for the rest of the day. He knew where I was and musta decided the guilt was much worse than a beating because he left me there. My sister got 13 stiches from that little stunt. She still has the scar to this day. She actually told me today that an Iraqi policeman asked her how she got that scar. She told him. Guess I toughened her up enough to join the Army as an MP.
