Good and bad. Michelle jammed a pencil in my arm.¹ Just math for homework. Had fun playing with “Missile Man”.

1. Michelle, my sister, was doing her math homework on the floor in the living room. I was bugging her and she got so angry with me she stabbed me in my left arm with her pencil. Well, she was trying to hit me and forgot she was holding a pencil, I guess we could say. It didn’t hurt so much but it was kind of shocking to see the pencil hanging from this wound, it’s lead tip embedded beneath the skin. She got into a world of trouble which I appreciated, since it was usually I who was in trouble.

To this day, I have a mark there, a little gray spot. It’s the only type of tattoo I ever received.
