The bucket one brings back memories. When I was a wee girl there was an empty lot a block from our house. It was on a rise and all the kids called it Sandy Hill. We built forts and trenches - you name it. Lo and behold someone bought it and started to build a house. Noooooooooooooo That was our Sandy Hill.
Since the house was being built on our Sandy Hill, the house became ours, too. I was way too short to climb up on the newly built roof, so the the guys would stick me the tar bucket on a pulley and haul me up. When I reached the top they'd kick the bucket and when it swung over the roof I would jump out. One day, with only one foot in the bucket, when I went to jump out my foot stuck in the tar and I went splat on the roof and was almost swept away. The boys all pounced on me and saved my life.

ReplyDeleteDon't try this at home, or anywhere else.
ReplyDeleteAdrienne, I was going to use the term "Tar Baby", but I'm told that is offensive, so I won't use the term "Tar Baby".
