Another hobby was
being a brat with my
youngest brother when we were both kids. Me and my brother used to play
tag and hide and seek
and run around the
house and run over
my mom's good living room furniture and chase each other around. Youngest brother would fool around with my mom's
stereo. Brother would
fool his mother by
pretending to eat
his supper- while he
would sneak it down
the garbage disposal
or the waste basket.
Would put the food
in his mouth, put a
napkin over his mouth
and get the food back
into the napkin- and then throw it out.
All the while he was
talking to mom and
laughing! What a brat!
What a wonderful
kid! Dad would drive
him to religion class,
but he never went
to class! Fooled mom
and dad! I used to
fool mom too. Would
tell mom that I was
spending only a small
amount of money on
baseball cards, when
I was spending 50 to
100 times more then I
told her. Would wait
till my parents would
leave for church, and
i would sneak my cards into the house
and quik rush over to
church, to meet mom
and dad! How sneaky
I was! What brats,
me and my youngest
brother were!
My youngest brother
would but in to my
mom's conversations
all the time! Mom said- "I can't even hold a conversation with out him butting in!" And the conversation wasn't even about him. When dad took his picture he would stick out his tongue, so it would show in the picture.
He would joke about
anything that mom
said. Mom said- "I bet he's going to be
a comedian." Mom
told him not to eat
any candy from his
Easter basket- because he was eating too much.
Mom caught him and
said to him- "I thought I told you, that you couldn't eat
any more candy!"
He laughed at mom
and said- "That wasn't
me! It's the incredible
shrinking Easter bunny". What a brat!
My brother was playing with fire in the
back yard- when I was
burning some trash in
a barrel. Brother got
burnt. Mom, spanked him! The only time he
got a spanking!
Youngest brother told
his mom that he was
glad she named him
****, because all the
****'s he knew were
little brats.
My youngest brother
and his classmates
got a teacher fired,
because the teacher
couldn't control the
class. My brother
didn't care! What a
brat! It wasn't his
fault the teacher couldn't control the
class!
My youngest brother
with his shirt sticking
out- would talk
back to mom all the
time. He would laugh
and treat everything
that mom said- as one
big joke! He simply
couldn't stop himself
from being naughty!
What a little devil!
How wonderful!
Youngest brother
would steal candy from my mom and
put it in his mouth and eat it while sitting in the back
seat of the car with
me. So good at fooling mom, she never caught him!
Used to run up and down the stairs, chasing him and visa
versa. Mom, didn't like
this, but there was
nothing she could do
about it. Youngest
brother would blow
up plastic bags and
stamp on them with
his feet, or pop them
with his hands.
Would also throw
balls against the walls
in the house! Mom
couldn't control him!
My youngest brother used to
call old people- "Old
foogies" and laugh!
Mom told him- "Some
day your going to be old like that."
Seen a TV news report of parents trying
to bribe their brat
to be good. Seen another news report
where parents would
drop their brats off
at the library and go
to work. The brats
would chase each
other around the library. Seen another
news reports of how bullies treat other classmates on the playground. What v1cious little brats are
out there!
Seen another TV news
report of a foster mom
hitting her foster kids
for being naughty.
This mom lost custody
of those kids.
I was picked on when
I walked to school
in the early grades.
I was also picked on
in high school. The
world didn't come to
an end.
Seen article on how
kids tattle on one
another in school in
the newspaper.
When I was a little kid, I went into my
grandmother's bedroom at her house
and tore several pages out of an encyclopedia- because
I wanted to keep an
article. In grade school, the nun told
me to get my mom
to sign a paper because of a poor grade. I signed my
mother's name to the
paper and the nun
said to me- "This
isn't your mother's
writting!"
A teacher in grade
school confisicated
my Superball- because
he said it wasn't allowed. 
When I was little, I
stole from one of my brothers, his Superball-
and played with it-
right in front of him!
My brother thought that it was my Superball- and said-
"Gee, I wish I could
find my Superball!"
Was I ever a brat!
My mom caught me
lieing to her and yelled at me- "I don't
want you lieing to me!" I then made up
a story to fool her!
When I was younger,
I made Lyndee yell
at me on purpose!
Lyndee- "Can you
remember to do this,
or should I write it down?"
Me- "I can remember".
The next day-
Lyndee- "Did you do this?'
Me- "No!"
Lyndee- "Were not
playing games! This isn't a game. This is
serious! Your getting
as bad as Randy! I
want this done by
Monday! (Lyndee
screaming- stormed
out of the room)
When I next seen
Lyndee coming to
scream at me- it made
me so happy. I couldn't wait for her to
scream at me.
Lyndee- (Screaming) "Are you going to do this or not? And I want an
answer! And I want the truth! (had a smart look on my face) And I haven't
got all day! I've got to
get back to group!"
Me- "You want an
answer now?"
Lyndee- "Yes!!!'
I said- "I don't know!!!" (Real smart like)
Lyndee- (Screaming) -"What!, What!, You
little brat! Why don't
you know? Why don't
you know? I don't hate you! I don't want
to force you!"
Next day- Lyndee-
"You have something
you want to say?"
Me- "Yes, There
were lots of errors
by these clients on
this coupon job."
Lyndee- "See! J. wouldn't have to do it.
Sense it has nothing
to do with his job.
That takes care of J's
thing". (Lyndee gave
up. I finally got my
way)
Lyndee- "You should
be able to find a
better way to do this?"
Me- (Being smart)-
"No, I don't think so."
Lyndee yelling- "Why
not?"
Barb- "The clients are
in control and not the
staff."
Margaret refused to
change her seat- when Barb made up a
new seating chart.
Bill to Margaret- "You
do as Barb tells you
to do!" Margaret
refused! (Bill was a
shop supervisor)
Lyndee- "Do you think I
you should crossstack
these?
Me- "I don't know.
This is the way they
came"
Lyndee- "Why don't
you ask Mick?
Lyndee to Mick-
J. has something he
wants to ask you."
Me- "Should I crossstack these?"
Mick- "You should know better then that."
Karen- "Lyndee is a
bitch".
Lyndee- "I want you
to shut up, and I don't
want to hear another
word out of you!"
Karen- "Was there any
production in this work unit yesterday?"
Lyndee- "Sense you
wern't here- that's none of your business!"
Randy (talking to me)-
Did Lyndee yell at you
yet today?" Me- "Yes".
Randy- "I would like
to tare up my production sheet in front of Lyndee's face"
(Randy talking to me)
Lyndee- "I don't want
Randy to rebel against
me".
Randy who was 16 years old- used to
shoot rubber bands
in group. Lyndee
didn't like it.
Lyndee- You can generally tell by the
tone of my voice- then
you better do it!"
Lyndee- "I want to see how good you people can be!"
Lyndee- "I am fed up!"
Lyndee was yelling at
some one who was
being naughty.
Lyndee- "You didn't ask permission to use
that."
Me- "Were you looking
for it?"
Lyndee- "No, you should still ask permission."
Me- Smart look on face.
Lyndee- "Are you going to come to this
meeting or not?"
Me- "I'll be there."
Lyndee- "It's not a
question as to how well you are doing it.
Your just not doing it."
Lyndee wanted me to
tell her something.
Me- "Come on?"
Lyndee- "You come on!"
Me and Randy were
pushing another
person's work off the
table. What fun!
Person wanted to know who was doing
it.
Lyndee- Did you
polish your shoes?"
Me- "Yes"
Lyndee- "No you didn't." (yelling)
Lyndee- Are you not
doing this because you don't understand
the instructions, or are you just not doing it?" (Lyndee
talking to me).
Lyndee- "I told the
powers to be that you
are slowing down. At
least your constient.
It's not a constitency
you would want to keep up. You can do
better then that."
Sue- "The way to get
back at Lyndee for
yelling at you is not
to be naughty, but to
do the job right, so
you get paid more money."
Lyndee to me- "Your
late!"
Powers to be called my mom at home twice because I was
being naughty!. Once
when I was late. Another time when I
refused to do what
Lyndee wanted me to
do.
Mom- "I heard you were being naughty."
Me- "Oh, that!"
Lyndee- "That's probably why I haven't
been coming back here. Because you
haven't been doing it."
Lyndee- "I am going to give you the option
as to whether you
want to come to group
or not."
Me- "I'll have to think
about it."
Lyndee- "You let me
know by brake."
Lyndee- "He's the smart one." (Talking
about me)
Lyndee- "Tell us
how to do this job."
Me- Ok, red gos on green, blue goes on
yellow, orange goes
on white and so forth."
Lyndee- "That's really
good."
Lyndee made different
agreements with her
clients to be good.
Mine was not to be
late, and Lyndee
promised not to yell
if I was late. I was late and Lyndee did yell at me.
Sue- "Your not retarded."
Lyndee- "Your not like
these other people."
Lyndee- "There's been
no appreciable change."
Lyndee- "You know
what you got to do."
Client apologized
for not doing it.
I did not apologize!
Lyndee- "You did it once- so I know you
can do it." (Taiking to
me).
Lyndee- "Your getting
rather lax." (Talking to
me)
Lyndee- "There all doing it- except you."
Me- "You want me to
do it now?"
Lyndee- "No, That was
supposed to be done
at home!"
Lyndee- "Why didn't
you do it today?"
Me- "I didn't have
enough time."
Lyndee- - "Your full of
excusses, excusses,
excusses!"
Lyndee- "Should I let
you do this at home?"
Me- "That might work".
It did not work.
Lyndee- "Talk is all right. Lets have some
action too."
Lyndee- "That's probabily why I
haven't been coming
back here- because you
haven't been doing it."
Lyndee- "You're not
taking this very seriously! I wish I
knew how to get you
to take this seriously."
Mick- "You just can't
get along with that!"
(Lyndee and her yelling)
Randy made a request that Lyndee stop
treating us as little kids. Nothing came of
this request.
Lyndee- "Do I have to
check these, or would
it be a waste of time?"
Me- "You can check
them. I don't care"
Lyndee- "That's not
what I asked. Do I have to check these
or would it be a waste
of time?"
Me- "It would be a
waste of time"
Lyndee- "Are you 2
(Randy and me) going to stop that, or do I
have to seperate you
two?"
Randy- "You can move
me."
Karen - "This is stupid! What's the
reason for this."
Lyndee- "That's to
teach decision making." 
Some one called Lyndee by another name. Lyndee said- "That's not my name!"
Lyndee talking to me-
"That's real good. I'll
give you a check mark."
Lyndee once drew names
to assign clients jobs.
Played cards with Kim
and Larry in a meeting
room during work time. Gerry, walked in
and said- "Oh, a card
game."
Gerry told me- "I didn't think that you were Catholic."
Margee- "How did I do?"
Barb- "Very poorly."
Some one said that
Lyndee is one of the
better supervisors.
Some one said (may have
been Karen)- "Some
one should write a book about this place."
Lyndee- "By getting
married and moving
into this kind of house- should create
some good memories."
Lyndee to me- "It's
cold in hear. Did you
want a sweater to keep warm?"
Lyndee to me- "I'll
give you my name
and address for
references."
I did some printing in
the print shop for both
Lyndee and my dad.
Larry used to bang
on cigarette machine
to get free cigarettes.
Kim used to take soda
and drink it- that was
meant to be put in
vending machine to
sell to clients.
Randy (The supervisor)
yelled at his clients
who were being naughty- "Get to work!"
Lyndee- "Be careful.
These coupons are
just like money."
Lyndee- "Always seem
to get my way- when
job assignments are
handed out."
Lyndee- "Why didn't
the doctors check the
blood type before giving someone the
wrong blood?"
Some one died, because of the mix up.
I ran away from home
for about 1 or 2 weeks
and drove my mom
crazy. Mom found me
when I went to the
bank to get some
money.
Played tag and hide and seek at a heighbors house- who
had our family over for
a picnic. Ran in and out of their house.
Went to another
neignbor's house- to
look at the brat's ham
radio. Walked and talked with this brat
when walking from the
school bus stop to home.
Several times I ate my
lunch in the
University library-
when it was against
the rules. Used to sneak in a back
corner to do this.
At the university
used to eat in
the music building
vending machine area,
in my car, or in the
library- when the
student union was
closed. Otherwise,
I would eat at the
student union.
At the university-
once went into a
building where there
were no people.
I don't know if I was
supposed to be in
that building or not.
But, a door was unlocked.
Several brats were
runing around the
church lobby, chasing
one another and screaming for about
45 minutes prior to mass. Their parents
were talking to someone.
My youngest brother
used to jump the
balls off the pool table and laugh!
He thought it was
so much fun.
My youngest brother
thought he was so
smart that he could
beat me at chess!
I proved him wrong-
by winning!
My youngest brother
would play the board
game Clue with me
and mom- and would
always win! Mom
couldn't figure out
why. My brother was
real smart! He knew
that mom would always name 2 cards
that she held in her
hand- each time she
made a suggestion.
Knowing this- he was
able to figure it out-
real easy and win.
In 6th, 7th, and 8th
grades- the kids were
real brats. During
lunch, when no teacher was in the classroom, the kids
would be naughty!
The brats would also
shoot rubber bands, paper airplanes and talk during class.
Everone was doing it.
The nun made the worst offenders stand
in front of the class!
The nun and principle
would listen over the
intercom, and then
yell at the kids during lunch time. The
kids would no longer
be allowed to go
outside after lunch
to play on the playground! What a
bunch of brats!
These same brats would throw snowballs
at each other during
recess and play king
of the hill- pushing each other off the snow bank- as the various brats tried to
knock the king off-
to become the new
king. What a bunch of
brats!
Two brats in the
7th and 8th grades
(Dan and Ron), used
to trade baseball cards at recess. Many
years later I went to
a card store and bought some 1965 Topps cards. They had
Dan's initials on them
and a phone number
that had the same exchange that Dan
had. Could have been
the exact same cards
that Dan and Ron traded because everything fits- including the year of the cards. What luck!
Met another former
classmate from the
same class about 30
years later at a church- about 120
miles from my home!
What luck! His name
was Bob.
Dan's dad used
to own a gas station.
Dan rode the bus
to school and Ron
walked to school.
School paper was
distributed on
Friday when school
let out. Bob rode
the bus to school.
Used to play catch
with Bob during recess- with my
superball.
Ran into a former
chess club member
sitting in the same
pew with me at
church- during Easter
mass. Said "hi" to me.
Ran into a former
employee at a local
restaurant. Employee
talked to me.
Employee had rerired.
Ran into my 2nd oldest brother and his
family at a book store
in a mall several times.
Ran into my 2nd oldest brother while
at a baseball game.
My 2nd oldest brother
ran into one of his
friends while at
a ball game. I was at
the same game with
my brother.
A chess club member
told me he had seen
me at the library-
but didn't want to
distrub me.
My mom once ran into
one of my cousins while at a shopping mall.
My dad ran into one
of our neighbors at
a local restaurant
and was talking to him.
What a small world I
live in!
My mom used to
be a playground
monitor- to watch the
kids on the playground- after they went ourside, after
they ate lunch.
Was taught Spanish
lessons on TV when
I was in the 7th and
8th grade. Never learned a single word
of Spanish. Didn't even pay attention to
it.
When I first got my
job- I once did some
thing that my supervisor didn't approve of, and my
supervisor took the
paper that I was working on and crumbled it up,
threw it in the waste
basket and stormed out of the area! What
a brat I was!
I once was filling prints in the shop,
and the employee that
was using the book that I was filling in-
told me to stop,
because he was using
the print book. This
employee actually
got mad at me. What
a brat I was!
One of my brothers
took some of my stuff
and buried it in the
woods in the rear
of the subdivision where we used to play. Never found it.
My mom accused my
youngest brother of
writting with ink on the bathtub. My
brother denied doing
it- but he is the only
one who could have
done it.
My youngest brother
would try and cheat
at cards. Mom used
to always catch him.
My youngest brother
would throw balls
at the walls in the
house. Surprise he
didn't damage
anything.
My youngest brother
would ask me if I wanted to go upstairs
and have fun chasing
each other around!
Of course, I said yes!
A brat in the student
union told her dad
that she was a brat.
The 2 were having
a discussion.
A brat asked her mom- "Your not going
to let me see the show that I want to
see. are you?"
Mom- 'No, there's a
disaplin problem here"
A mother told her brat- "You can't even
behave in the library."
A babysitter told
the brat that she was
watching- "You better
behave, or your mom
is going to have to get a different babysitter."
A mother kept telling
her brat to "Stop It!",
when the brat was
being naughty.
Two kids and a dad
were arguing about
what almanac to buy
for a school project.
Argued for over 20
minutes.
Four brats came up
to me at college and
wanted to play with me. Could they have
been the same kids
who's dad built them
a treehouse- that I
read about on the
frontpage of the
newspaper? Don't know- but that tree house really isn't that
far from the college!
So it's possible! And
the brats were about
the right age- according to the paper.
Ran into 2 or 3
kids at the college-
who were a member
of a church across
the street- and wanted to talk to me
about being saved.
Another time- the
pastor from the
same church- wanted
to talk to me about
being saved!
I used to throw most
of the milk that I put
on my cereal down
the drain- till mom
caught me and put
a stop to it.
When backing up my
dad's SUV I hit some
thing and damaged
my dad's outside
mirror. My dad did
not get mad.
At a Christmas party,
at a chess club- I ate
almost a whole jar
of pickles. Some one
said- "I sure love
pickles. Do you have
any?" "No there are
none left. The person
who bought these only bought one jar!"
And I was eating the
last couple of pickles
right in front of him!
What a brat I was!
I could have offered
him one, but I didn't.
At the chess club,
a brat named "little Samuel" used to climb
on a window ledge
on the outside of the
building, while his
dad played chess.
Samuel and Tony
are two friends who
would play chess with
one another. I have
played chess with both of them. Samuel
and Tony would some
times fool around and
have fun.
One of the club chess
players- asked me what I do at the
university- and I told
him. At the chess
club- a real good
player was playing chess with his wife-
who knew next to
nothing about chess.
The club member gave
himself 2 minutes on
his clock- and his wife
60 minutes. And the
husband still won!
The wife kept making
stupid moves. Finally,
the husband reduced
his time to one minute- and his wife
won on time. Lots
of fun- watching this.
Went into a restaurant and there
were hardly any one
in the place! A few
minutes later the
place was filled with
about 100 or so little
brats! They may have
stopped after some
kind of school function. Never seen
a place fill up so fast!
At a store seen some
brats running around
and trying to climb
up on a frozen food
refrigeration unit- while their mom was
shopping!
One of my relatives
had a brat who put
a microphone in a
bowl of fruit- so he
could record the
conversations of
everyone at the dinner
table.
Several brats were
fooling around and
laughing at the
computer.
When I was going
to college- played tag
with some kids- and a
college student said-
"I wish I could do that!"
A brat was giving her
mother a bad time at
a book store. Would
get down on the floor
and would not get up.
Another brat who wanted to buy a book-
told her mom' "I've being good" when the
brat wanted to buy a
book.
Another brat came up
to me in a restaurant
and wanted to play
with me. I was busy
eating and ignored
the brat! 
Another brat got into
an argument with
her parents at a book
store. Don't know who
won the argument.
A brat was giving his
dad a hard time at
a restaurant. The dad
said- "Either you behave- or were leaving! And you won't
get your ice cream cone."
Seen several brats at
a restaurant
talking about how their mother screamed
at them.
Another brat was
giving her mom a
hard time at a book
store. Brat got on the
floor and wouldn't
get up.
Another brat at a
bookstore- asked
her mom, "Your
not going to let me
see the show that
I want to see?"
Her mom- "There is
a displain problem
her."
Another brat at the
college student union was
asking her dad what
the boxes were for
on the tables. The dad told her that they
were to control the
the tv's. The brat was
telling her dad- what
a brat she was!
Another brat at a park
was running away
from her parents.
The dad said, "Look
at that brat! Don't
you run out on the
street!"
One of my mom's friends had a brat named Jackie. Our
family and their family
used to go to fish fry's
at a restaurant.
A priest was talking
to some kids in the
front pew at a church.
"Remember, I told
you two, that you should have some fun!
Be naughty, once in
a while. You shouldn't
take everything real
serious!" The mom
stood by and said
nothing! Now, there's
a priest that understands kids!
A brat once went up
to the alter at church, to fool
around. The mom had
to get her kid- and
everyone laughed-
Including the priest.
A brat was asking
her mom all kinds
of questions in church- and the mom
had to put up with
this.
A former supervisor
of mine gave another
employee a bad time
about everything he
did. This employee had to take medical
leave and the supervisor got stuck
doing the employee's
job. From then on, this supervisor respected this employee! What a
way to learn a lesson!
An employee caught
her brat downloading
indecent materal
on the internet- and
grounded the brat.
The employee was
talking to her brat
on the phone- and
would't let her brat
use the computer any
more.
An employee told
another employee-
"I hope my mother
doesn't catch me lieing to her."
The libarian was
yelling at a patron
who was viewing
indecent material
on the computer.
I am going to call the
police! Someone else
asked a smart kid-
"They really can't do
that, can they?"
The smart kid said-
"I don't think so!"
I used to sneak copies
that I was supposed to pay for out of the
library. Same thing with coupons that I cut out of the newspaper.
Seen a brat trying to
view indecent material
on the internet. All
the sites were blocked
with filters.
At a baseball card
show- 3 little brats
told a card dealer-
"Were  not the ones
who stole some of
your cards."
A dealer at a card show asked me to help her find an
expensive card on her
table. She then said to me- "My husband is
going to kill me when he finds out I let some one steal that
card!"
At another card show
a card dealer asked
me how much I wanted for my 1957
Topps cards. I told
him 25 cents each.
The dealer pulled out
a $15.00 card and gave me 25 cents! The
dealer's kid had a real
smart look on his face! I should have known better! I was
a fool!
Yes, there are brats
even at card shows!
And I was one of them
for being soo sneaky
and lieing to my mom!
I used to make some
large trades with
dealers at some card
shows- and sometimes have my
duplicate cards
auctioned off.
I asked another dealer
how much he wanted
for a Topps card set
and he told me. I
said- "Look at the
price!". And he got
mad. He got mad-
because he was asking the book price.
My youngest brother
now has his own little
brat to deal with. His
kid got a free bubblehead doll at a
ball game- and had the doll broken by the
time he got to his seat. After a game,
my brother tried to strap his kid in a car
seat and the kid kept
coming out of the car!
He must have put that
kid in his car seat about a dozen times!
My brother told my
mom- "This kid has a
problem. He won't listen to me!" Mom told him- "You were the same way, when
you were little!"
How true!
Once, had to walk
from the ball park to
my 2nd oldest brother's house- a
distence of between
2 and 3 miles- with
my dad and my brother and my brother's kids.
Karen and Patti were
chasing one another
around. "I bet were
always going to get
restricted"- have
our privilages taken
away. I got restricted
once- for being late
to a meeting. Karen
and Patti may have had a food fight at
the lunch tables. Someone once rolled a billiard ball down the
hallway. 2 patrons
(may have been Karen
and Patti) used to sneak out- when they
wern't supposed to.
Playing pool with
Bruce and Bruce told
me- "you can shoot
at the eight ball."
Played a card game
called "Down to One."
Played with regular
cards. Same game as
UNO- before UNO
was invented!
May be the person
who showed me this
game
or one of her friends
knew the inventor.
It's possible.
Went bowling and
bowed with Bruce
and Tracy. Bowed
a 121 game. Pretty
good, considerating
I never bowed before!
Played miniature
golf too.
Had an 8 or 9 year
old kid for a room mate. Once, had to
go to some ones
room to try to get
a pool cue- that some
one took with them.
Used to listen to the
stereo and go to meetings in the upper
or large lounge.
Monopoly was played
in the visitor's lounge.
Could work on various
crafts in the rec. room, as well as
play pool. Lunch
tables in rec. room.
Karen and Patti both
carved their names into a table- next to
the telephones.
A couple of people
asked Frank- if he would take them for
a walk. Frank said-
No body tells me to
take them for a walk
unless Frank wants
to. Frank then went
for the walk.
I skiped in line- so I
could get into the circus faster. It worked.
When at a circus, I
sat in someone else's
seat and the ticketholder said to me- "Your seating in my seat" I told him-
"I thought this was a
general admission
seat." The guy said-
"Sure you did!"
On the way to a circus- I stepped inside a building to
put film in my camera.
A guy inside the building asked me what I was doing and
then yelled at me to
get out of the building.
At the circus- I was
sold a ticket for
the wrong day- and
one of the men in
charge took me
down to the circus
floor- and let me
set there. Later,
this guy came down
and asked me how I
was enjoying the
circus.
At another circus-
A kid asked her
mother what time
it was- and the mother said- "That's not important!"
I once went to the
university, parked my
car and took the bus
to the circus. Just,
like a field trip at
school. I also took
half days and full
days vacation at
work- to go to the
circus. Would always
buy a circus program
and buy snacks (hot
dogs, brat, soda, chips) at the circus.
Would go down to
the arena floor- and
watch the kids take
elephant and pony
rides during intermission- and before the show started.
Went to baseball games many times.
Once while standing
in line to buy tickets-
someone offered
us more expensive
tickets- then what
we were going to
buy for the same price. We took him
up on the offer. We
were close to the action- but a long way
from home plate.
Those seats wern't that good for the price. My dad, myself,
and my 2 brothers
and their families
sometimes go to
the ball game together. Usually
park about a mile
away and walk in
to avoid the parking
fees. But, we have
already parked in the
stadium parking lot.
The only time I went
to a tail gate party
at the ballpark is when my company
had a company picnic
there. Ate free, and
seen the game for free. My dad, myself,
my 2nd oldest brother and his kids
once walked about
2 to 3 miles to my
brother's house
after the game- because my brother's
wife wasn't able to
come to the ballpark
to pick us up after
the game.
Student at religion
class- "My mom thinks
that's she's God.
Always telling me what I can and can not do." This was
at religion class at
the teacher's house.
He used to have
class in his basement.
The kids at this religion class also
were in my 6th, 7th,
and 8th grade class
in grade school.
This religion class
was when I was in
high school. Also,
had religion class
in the same classrooms where
I went to 6th, 7th,
and 8th grades- often
with many of the
same students.
This was in New Berlin
home. Went to
religion class in
Milwaukee home-
when I was in the
younger grades.
Used to play hide and
seek and tag with
relatiives kids- running
in and out of the house. Mom didn't like
it.
Mom said- "Better watch my youngest
brother so he doesn't
burn the house down."
Better watch him- so
he doesn't tare up
your homework. Otherwise, you may
have to do it over!
Yes- he used to crumble up my
papers and laugh
about it! What a brat!
Youngest brother lied
to mom and mom caught him!
Youngest brother
thought it would be
fun to pea on the graves at the cemetery! What a brat! He never did though.
Youngest brother
was playing with a
bottle of aspirin and
I tried to take it away
from him. Brother
said- "You think I
am going to take these, don't you?"
Of course, he didn't
take them.
A brat was giving her
mom a hard time at
a bookstore.
Stayed up one night-all night,
chasing my youngest
brother around playing
tag and hide and seek. Mom and dad
never woke up.
Mom told my youngest
brother that he gets
away with most things- that other kids
do not!
My 2nd oldest brother
once stole something
at a store and was
caught. That was
when he was a kid.
Mom was a brat too.
In school, mom climbed out the classroom window when she seen her
mom and brother walking. Her mom
bought my mom back
to the classroom.
The nun was real nice
when her mom was there- but as soon as
her mom left- the nun
swat my mom's hands
with a ruler! How mean!
Mom got in trouble,
because she couldn't
ask permission in Polish to go to the
bathroom- so she wet
her pants.
Mom stole an apple
from a neighbpr's tree.
Mom and her sister
took a train to meet
some guys at a military camp. Never told her mom, for she
knew her mom would
never give permission.
Her mom found out-
and my mom told her
mom- "You never
would have given me
permission, if I would
have ask." The next
time my mom asked-
and she got permission- with some
rules that she had to
follow.
Mom got in trouble
with the nun, because
she ware the wrong kind of stocking. I
think the nun made
her go home and change it.
Mom uesd to play
huckey from school
when she didn't feel
like going. She was
caught, and had to make up the time
by sitting in the
principal's office
after school.
Mom and a friend sneak into a movie
theater. They got
caught, and had to
sit in the theater
manager's office.
Mom and her friend
agreed not to tell
each other's moms.
Mom's older sister stole the strap that
her mom used for
spankings and buried
it! Her mom then had
to use the wooden spoon for spankings.
Mom once stood up
in a boat and fell out
of the boat! Her sister
had to pull her out
of the water. Her
mom said- "You
should know better
then that!" She probably got a spanking!
Mom said- "If my
mom would have found out some of the
naughty things that I
did- I really would
have gotten it!"
The nuns used to
tell mom and the other students- "If
your naughty your
going to have to
stand in front of the
class with your hands
up- or you could be
swat with a ruler."
What mean nuns my
mom had.
My mom showed me
the houses where she
used to live and
the schools where she
went to school.
Once walked in a park- next to her
high school.
Mom used to hike to
the cemetery with
her friends and eat lunch.
Mom lived in many
houses on the south
side of Milwaukee.
It seemed like
she was always
moving- when she
was a kid. In one of
her houses, my mom's
mom had to leave her
piano behind- because
my mom's mom didn't
have the resources
to move it.
The nuns would tell
mom and her classmates- better
be good or you are
going to go to hell
when you die.
A dad asked her
brat- "Why didn't
you stay by the
bathroom door and
wait for me? I had
to walk around and
search for you! I
don't like to have to
do that! Don't do that
again!" The dad's other brat- who was
younger said- "Look
dad, I am over here!"
The older brat was
sitting at a computer
when her dad was
telling her off. This brat was about 7 or 8 years old. The younger brat was 3
or 4 years old.
I used to wonder
around the stores myself- while mom was shopping- and mom said to me- "Why can't you stay
near your dad? I always have to walk
around and search for
you! Next time, stay
by your dad!"
The Libarian was yelling at me because
my time was up on
the computer. My time
was not up. What a
bitch! I was also
yelled at by the libarian when I was falling asleep at the
computer. The Libarian yelled at me
to get off the computer. What a bitch!
Another time, the libarian came up to
me and told me to
get off the computer-
that my time was up.
She said that other
people needed to use
the computers. 3/4th
of the competers were
unoccupid at the time!
What a bitch! She
would have made a good nun in school-
the way she likes to
bitch!
Another time, I was
working on the computer and the libarian told me I had
to get off the computer right away!
I asked the libarian
if I could finish what I
was working on and
the libarian had the
nerve to say "No!"
What a bitch!
I think I found a way
to get even. The library now requires
a library card to sign
in for one hour of computer use. One is
only allowed one hour
of use a day. I think
I am going to start using both my mom's
and my own card to
get 2 hours of compurter use a day!
That way I can fool
the librarian- and be
on the computer 2 hours a day! What A brat, I am! I would like to see the librarian try and tell me off now! I could just laugh in her face-
when I tell her that my time is not up!
Vicious little brat!
Actually, I don't even
need to do that. The
other day I just bent
down so the librarian
couldn't see me- and
went on another computer. How sneaky
I am!
I used to run the water and pretend to
take a shower- to
fool my mom!
An employee asked
another employee-
"How do I keep my
kids from jumping on
my new furniture?"
Other employee said-
"Have them jump on
old furniture!"
The 1st employee said- "They don't know
the difference between old and new
furniture. I don't want
them to jump on any
furniture!"
In our neighborhood,
some of the neighbors
kids went in my mom's garden and jumped on the plants.
Mom got mad! One of
the kids said- "If you
come any closer, I'm
going to pull your
britches down!"
What a bunch of brats!
Some brats were
throwing papers at
each other. One of
them said to the other- "You deserve to
get a good spanking."
A dad was yelling -
"Look at that brat!
Don't run into the street!" A mom told
her 2 little brats- "Don't you dare throw
that paper airplane!"
The 2 brats went behind their mom's back and continued to
be naughty and throw
airplanes after their
mom said no. One brat got on the floor
and wouldn't get up.
A brat was playing with an elevator button- and his mom
got mad.
Heard several brats
talking at a restaurant
about how their mom
screamed at them.
Seen several brats
fooling around and
laughing at a restaurant.
Some brats were
jumping up and down
on a booth seat at a
restaurant and talking
to there parents.
Brats were fooling
around, when they
were taking pictures
for the church
parish picture album.
Also, went to open
house at our parish
rectory- and open house at our parish
school- which was
remodeled. May have
sat in one of my youngest brothers
classrooms  at school-
when I went to a
meeting at our
school- about building
a new church. Open
house at school was
the last time I was in
a classroom. That was
3 or 4 years ago.
(approx. 2001 or 2002).
My dad had some of
his friends stay at
our house for a week.
The friend's brats
got into all my mother's Christmas
stuff in the basement
and damaged it!
What a bunch of brats!
Went to visit these
same friends and
their brats- and stayed at their home
for a week at their
chicken farm. Got a
bee sting while there.
One of my brothers
and a cousin went
into a vacant house
in our neighberhood
in the 60's. Nobody ever found out.
The same brother and
cousin used to go
in another cousins
bedroom at the cousins house- and
snoop through that
cousins things- like
reading her diary, I
think.
Used to play hide
and seek and tag-
with my brothers and
cousins, at their houses and at my house. My mom didn't
like the running- in
and out of the house.
My youngest brother-
after he moved out of
our house- once waited for my parents
to go to church- and my brother and his
girl friend were sneaking some of my
brorther's things out
of the house. My mom
caught him and was
mad! He was being
so sneaky!
My youngest brother
also lied to mom and
mom caught him.
Mom once got angry
at my youngest brother and she picked
up his world globe and
threw it on the floor.
The globe got a dent
in it.
My youngest brother
used to have one of his friends let him
into the gym at college for free. Otherwise, he would have had to pay. At
least, he was working
out!
My youngest brother
once knocked over a
mail box with the car.
I have gotten several
speeding tickets.
One for going 80 in
a 65 zone. I never told my mom about
that one. But, another
one I did tell my mom.
I once cheated on a
spelling test in grade
school. The nun never
caught me. I once tried to cheat on a test in college, by looking at another student's paper when
the teacher was out
of the room- but it was way over my head- and I wasn't able to use any of the
material I saw.
I once played cards
with some students
in college and lost
$36.00. I refused to
pay them and they
refused to play cards
with me again.
I once chased another
student around the
student union and the
student reported me.
I had to show secriety
my student I.D. That
was in the 70's.
I have lied to my
mother many times-
like telling her I
wasn't carrying a lot
of money when i was,
When I told her I wasn't eating any extra food and I was,
when I told her I didn't have a safe deposit box and I did.
And when I told her
I wasn't spending a lot of money on baseball cards and I
was.
My mom once caught me lieing and started
screaming at me.
"You lied to me! I don't want you lieing
to me!" She then stormed out of the room. I then went in
the other room and
told her, "I didn't lie
to you" and made up
a story to fool her!
She then said to me-
"I am sure glad you didn't lie to me!"
What a brat I was!
And I loved it so much! Loved being a
little brat!
I also lied to my mother about where I
was going and where
I had been. What a bunch of
brats,  me and my youngest brother were!
My youngest brother
would sneak cookies
out of the cookie jar!
Mom asked him once-
"Are you planning
to raid our Easter baskets?" He would
steal candy out of
our Easter baskets and eat it!
He would lie on his
bed and mom would
ask him- "What mischief are you planning to do now?"
He had a smart remark for everything!
A little know it all!
He would make his
teachers yell at him-
and then brag about
it! He once said-
"This teacher won't yell" when he was trying to make the teacher yell! What a brat my youngest brother was! He always told mom that he was glad
that he wasn't a goody goody!
Would eat his cookies
in the other room and
get crumbs all over
the floor, after mom
told him to stay seated at the table
to eat his cookies!
What a brat! Just
couldn't listen to mom. I would chase
him around the living
room, dining room,
and the bedrooms
upstairs. Would jump
on mom's good
furniture and the beds
upstairs. Would play
hide and seek and tag- and he would
hide under mom's bed, behind the bedroom doors and
in the shower. Would
sneak candy bars out
of the refrigerator and
eat them- as we were
playing. Would also
sneak cookies out
of the cookie jar. I
could hear him- put
the lid back on the
cookie jar- but mom
never caught on!
He just wouldn't listen
to mom!
Me and him would chase each other around the house and
have fun! Mom told my
brother- "I don't want
you running around the house." My brother said "Tell J. to! He's not a little
angel you know!"
My youngest brother
was so right!
Each day I used to
throw my daily vitamin
C tablet down the
garbage disposal.
My mom thought I
was taking it! I must
have tosed 2 or 3
bottles of Vitamin C
down the garbage disposal. And my mom
was paying for these
vitamins. I sure knew
how to fool my mother. Just like my
youngest brother used
to do, when he didn't
like his supper. He
would fool mom and
throw his food down
the garbage disposal.
He would then steal
cookies from the cookie jar or candy bars from the refrigerator! Two wonderful brats- me
and my youngest brother! Sure knew
how to fool mom!
I used to fall alsleep
at mass during the
sermon- and mom used to sheve me-
to get me to wake up.
At work, I was falling
alsleep during a class
and my supervisor
kicked me- and told me to pay attention
to the instructor.
I used to cut coupons
out of the newspapers
at various libraries.
I don't think my mom
would have approved.
My boss told me to get to work when I
was reading a
newspaper.
I once did a personal
project during work
time for about 2 or 3
days in a roll.
My mom had dad drive
me to see a psychologist a long time ago. I played chess with the psychologist all the
time- and mom thought I was discussing my problem, when I never
did so! What a brat I was!
I lied to my mom
many times. Mom didn't want me to
carry a lot of money.
I did anyway, and lied
to her. Mom asked me
if I was eating any extra food- because I
was putting on weight. I lied to her
and said no. I was
really stopping at
restaurants on the
way home.
I was once with my
dad at the restaurant
I usually stop at- and
the cashier asked me-
if I wanted my usual
hot dog basket. If
my dad had been paying attention- I
would have been caught! If my mom would have been there- she would have
caught on for sure!
Another time, stoped
at a restaurant with
mom and dad and the
owner told mom that
she seen me stop in
several times. Mom said that wasn't so.
I almost got caught
again.
I once was at a store
with my parents and
the baseball card store owner where I
used to buy my cards
from, came up
to me and asked me-
why I no longer come
to his store to buy
cards. Almost got caught again! I used
to stop at this store
owners store and buy
about $100 to $200
worth of cards a week- wait for my
parents to leave for
church- sneak the cards into the house
and meet mom at
church! My mom thought I was spending only $20
every couple of months- when I
was spending several
hundred dollars every
week! How sneaky!
What a good little lier
I was! And to think I
almost got caught-
running into that card
store owner. Lucky, my mom wasn't paying to much attention!
I opened a safe deposit box and my mom found out about it and made me close it. I opened up
another safe deposit
box and lied to my
mother about it.
The guy at the bank
was telling my mom
that I still had a
safe deposit box.
My mom told me about this- and I told
her the guy at the bank must have been
wrong! What a good
little lier I was! So,
good at fooling my mom! Vicious little
brat! And mom thought I was trying
to hide something!
How suspecious
mothers can be!
I once fooled my
mom for an entire week! Mom likes to
go on vacations by
car. I wanted to stay
home. So I told mom
I was going to work
each day for a week-
when I was really going to the University to have fun! If mom would have known that I wasn't going to work-
she would have scheduled a vacation
for our family! I left
for work each day-
but I never went to
work. I went to the
University and had
fun there! Mom tried
to call me at work,
but no one answered
the phone. Thank,
goodness!, other wise
mom would have found out and been mad. This is similer
to what my youngest
brother did when dad
drove him to religion
class each week, but
he never went to class.
He stayed on the playground and had
fun.
I went on a company
picnic with my parents
to a theme park. Mom
reimbersed me $16.00
for the picnic. The company was supposed to deduct $16.00 from my pay
statement. The company never did.
I never told mom and
kept the $16.00.
Once my mom reimbersed me for
something, she forgot
that she did and reimbersed me again!
As a good little brat,
I kept the money!
Once my dad reimbersed me for something, and mom
not knowing that my
dad did so, reimbersed me again.
I just kept the money,
as a good little brat
would! Dad was supposed to reimbersed me $2.00
for something- but
gave me $3.00 by
miskake. I just kept
the extra money.
What a brat I was!
If my mom would have seen some of the things my youngest brother did
when he was about 4
years old, she would
have screamed! Like
going to the bath room down the laundry chute!
He didn't want to go
to church- and told
mom- "I don't need
a crutch like other
people who go to church need!" What
a brat! And I was
a brat too! Never
confessed my lieing
to mom in confession,
as while as many other things!
Mom said to me- "I
suppose your going to
quit going to church when I die, like your
youngest brother?"
Mom loves her kids-
despite anything they
may have done! The
world has not come to
an end! Not even close! Mom always
telling me that she loves me. Mom says
that she is happy to
have such good kids.
And mom does know
about most of these
things! When my
youngest brother told
mom all the naughty
things that he did, she did not get mad.
Told about brother
fooling mom that he
was going to religion
class, when he was
not, mom said-
"I am surprised that
he did that! I can't
believe it!" When mom found out I was
playing chess with a
psychologist that I
was seen- she did
not get mad! But, I
was no longer able to
see the psychologist.
Sense, she was paying for it!
 
Youngest brother and
his family took a cruise. When he got back from his cruise-
his little 6 year old brat didn't want to go back to school. His
brat didn't like his teacher- because his teacher yelled at him.
My mom used to go to a roller skat rink and
roller skate when she
was a kid. She was
real good roller skating- but not very
good at ice skating.
Dad and mom both
used the same roller
skate rink- but, they
never ran into each
other.
Dad and mom went
to the same high school (Bayview)-
but, they never ran
into each other there
either. Mom is just
one year older then
dad (make that 8 months- to be exact)
Mom used to do things after school-
like go to high school
football games. Dad
never did- because
dad had to deliver
newspapers on his
paper route after
school.
Dad used to live
as a kid in the old
Town of Lake near
the airport and dads
mother moved to a house not
far from State Fair
Park in West Allis.
Dad was already
married to mom when
dads mother moved
to West Allis.
Dads mother died
about 1959.
Mom and dad were married in 1948.
Dad's dad is buried
in a military cemetery
in Milwaukee and dad's mom is buried
in a cemetey on the
south side of Milwaukee. Dad had
a younger brother
who used to live
with dad's mom in
West Allis.
Both dad and mom
had brothers and sisters. Mom- 2 sisters and 1 brother.
Dad- 2 sisters and
2 brothers. At least-
I think this is right.
Mom's parents both
died in their 40's.
Mom used to live
on the south side of
Milwaukee- and moved many times
when she was a kid.
Mom used to hike to
the cemetery with
her sisters when she
was a kid. She still
likes to go to the
cemetery. Cemetery
is on the south side
of Milwaukee- and she
goes to see her
parents grave sites.
Go to see dad's
mothers grave at
a different cemetery-
not to far from my
mom's cemetery.
When mom was single- she and her
sisters used to take
train trips to Chicago.
She went to see
Lawrence Welk perform at
a ballroom several times in Chicago.
When mom was single
she had a job in an
office. The boss gave
everyone gifts for
Christmas. Some
employees didn't
like the gifts that
they got- and they all
went to the bosees
home- and pilled
all their gifts on
the bosses front
yard. I think it
was fruit cakes.
The employees never
got any more gifts
from their boss again!
Mom resented this
and said all employees were being
punished- for the
acts of a few! People
were brats- even when mom was single!
Mom had access to
a real slot machine when she was about
18 to 20 years old.
Used to put money
in it and take the money out of the back
of the machine- when
done.
Mom's mom had to
leave a piano in a
house where she
used to live as a kid-
when her mom couldn't afford to
pay the movers $10
to move it. Mom still
wonders if that piano
is still in that house.
When mom was a kid-
she stood up in a boat
and fell in the water.
Mom's older sister had
to pull her out of the
water by her hair.
If it wasn't for her
older sister- she might have drowned!
Mom's mom told her-
"You know better then
to stand up in a boat!" and mom got
yelled at! Vicious
little brat!
In the 60's we took
a trip to visit and
stay at some relatives
house out of state
around Christmas.
Just as we were getting in the car to
leave- mom had to
sneak back in the house and put all
the gifts under the
tree- so Santa could
come- and we would
open the gifts when
we got back from
vacation.
An employee once took mom and dad
on a tour of the new
movie theater at
Mayfair mall- when the theater first
opened.
My dad has a telephone answering
machine, a small table top copier,
and 3 telephones
in the house.
Also has a chain saw,
many carpentary tools, and equipment.
Dad used to built houses- including our
own.
Second oldest brother
took his family bowling- and it cost $50 to $60 bucks to
bowl 3 games. Bowling alley was
near 76th st and
Oklahoma Av.
Youngest brother's brat wanted his dad
to get his marbles out
of the car. When his
dad refused- he went
over to his mom to
get her to do it. His dad said- "Don't you
dare go to mom. You
can't always get your
way."
Youngest brother's brat was fooling around and screaming
with my dad. His dad
told him to stop that!
Youngest brother's brat was pinching
his dad. My brother
wanted to know why
he was doing this-
and told his brat
that it didn't hurt.
One of my second oldest brothers kids
got his own video camera. Was taking
a course on videos
in school.
My family got gift
cards for Christmas.
I got one from work
for a supermarket.
I also got one from
mom for a restaurant.
Dad got one from mom for a restaurant.
When mom was going
to school she played
huckey from school and was caught. She
had to make up all that time in the principal's office. She
didn't like that.
On "My wife and kids"
the dad told his brats
not to eat the pizza
right away. "Your
going to disobey me - ya?" The kids started
eating the pizza and
dad couldn't stop them!
On My Wife and Kids-
one of dad's little
brats put perfume on
after dad told her not
to! But, what the brat
didn't know was that
her dad put skunk
smell in the perfume-
and that brat ended
up smelling like a skunk! Her dad outfoxed his little brat
and she was caught.
On My Wife and Kids-
Kate was jumping up
and down- and her
older sister was trying
to stop her.
A brat was having fun
running away from his
parents at a restaurant.
A brat at a computer
pulled the plug on the
computer that her mom was using.
The other older kid
was teaching this
little brat how to
add- asking her what 2+2 was and so forth.
A little brat was being
naughty at the computer. Her mom told her brat to behave or were going
to leave! Two seconds
later they left- as the
brat wouldn't behave.
Gerry, Billy and Mary Beth were the first names of some of the kids of one of dad's
relatives who used
to live in Greenfield
Wisconsin before
moving to Phoenix
Arizona in the 60's.
Used to play hide and seek and board games
with these kids in
their upstairs bedrooms at their
Greenfield house.
These kids put together models of
various things in their
bedroom- model airplanes and so forth.
Their dad was a pilot
and used to fly a
small plane. Took pictures while flying
and would show us the film slides- when
we visited them in their Greenfield home.
Their kids would fly
small model airplanes
in their backyard.
These relatives would
visit us in our Milwaukee home and
run around the house
playing tag and hide
and seek. Mom didn't
like this! What brats
these kids were!
Used to play tag and
hide and seek with
brothers and relatives
kids in both Milwaukee and New Berlin homes. Mom
didn't like the running
in and out of the house! But, she
couldn't do anything
about it. Used to play
tag and hide and seek
when visiting relative's houses too.
At relatives home
in Franklin- used to
like to look at street
maps that they had
and watch tv shows-
like Mister Ed on
Sunday's- when we
went to visit them.
They also had a bar
in the basement.
A different relative
in Franklin also had
a bar and a pool table
in their basement.
They also had a kid
named Dave.
Would play pool when
visiting them! Parents
would sometimes sit
at the bar and visit.
This relative owned
an excavating business and used to work on roads!
One of mom's relatives had a kid named Greg. 2nd oldest brother and Greg were good friends. Greg was a
brat too. Would go
through his sisters
diary and personal
things in her bedroom.
One time Greg and my
2nd oldest brother
went through an abandoned house
near our New Berlin
house.
Were never caught!
Could have been
charged with
treaspassing if they
had been caught.
Used to play tag and
hide and seek at this
relatives home.
Played games (Clue
and Monopoly) with
Greg's older sister
in their basement
and played rummy
with the same sister-
at least once at a next door
neighbor's house.
Used to keep score
too.
My 2nd oldest brother
once stayed overnight
at Greg's house.
These relatives used
to live in West Allis
before moving to
Franklin.
Mom used to stay
overnight at her
friend's houses when
she was growing up.
Two kids from 2
different relatives
were into Beatles
music. Had all their
records. I too- had several Beatles records. I think
one of these relatives
kids went to see
the Beatles perform-
when they came to
town - or may be
they both did- as they
were good friends.
At a food court at a
mall some guy sat
down and started talking about when
he served in the military during World
War II. Dad told him
that he also served
in that war!
I once seen a Arrow
street guide in a
drug store that I
wanted to buy. By
the time I was ready to buy it- it was gone.
I never did find it again! Many years
after I purchased
a map of Milwaukee-
and the map that
I had was worn out-
I was able to find
a new copy at a store
and was able to buy
a nice new copy.
This was at least 10
years after I bought
the first copy! You see- sometimes good
things do happen!
At work- an employee
who later became a supervisor used to
shot rubberbands
around the work place.
I was standing in line
waiting to pay for
a world atlas that
I was buying- and the
lady in front of me-
started talking to me
about it. She said that
she was looking for a good world atlas and
asked me if I found
one! I told her that
I was paying $150.00
for the one I was buying. She told me
that cheap world atlasses just don't
show enough places
and are junk! She
agreed that mine was
an excellent world
atlas! One of the
best- out there.
My parents used
to own an apartment
building in Milwaukee,
Some land in Brookfield- which was
purchased by the state to be used as
part of an interchange, A lake lot
on a small lake in
Kenosha county,
3 or 4 small lots in
Two Rivers- right
across the highway-
from Lake Michigan.
These properties were
in addition to our
own homes- in Milwaukee, New Berlin
and Waukesha. All
these properties are
now sold.
Dad was an alter boy
in 6th through 8th
grades. Dad was serving mass- and the
priest had to say dad's prayers because
dad couldn't remember the words.
Afterwards- the priest
yelled at dad- "I am
not going to say your prayers for you anymore. You have got to learn those prayers!" Mom told
dad- "You deserved
to get yelled at!"
Dad had his 6th, 7th,
and 8th grades all
in the same classroom- by the same teacher. 6th graders sat by the
windows- 7th graders
in the middle and
8th graders by the door. They would be out the door- the following year.
The people in dad's church wanted padded
kneelers. The priest said no- "You don't go
to church to be confortable- you go
to pray!"
The people in dad's church wanted heat
in the church. The priest said- "You want
heat- give me the money to buy coal!"
The priest got the money- and the church got heated!
Mom said- "They
were strict in those days. If
you looked the wrong
way the nun would yell at you!"
I told mom that I was going to work all week. I lied!
I went some other
places and pulled the
phone wire out of the
wall at work- so mom
couldn't call work and
find out I wasn't there! How sneaky I
was! How smart I was!
Dad mentioned that
when a relative died-
they found $200 dollars in his pocket.
Mom asked me- "I
bet you carry that much money- don't you?" I said "No."
I lied. I had so much
fun fooling my mom.
Lots and lots of fun!
What a smarty pants
I was!
I fooled mom into not
going to confession for Christmas!
I had a car accident and lied to my mother
about where I was going! Another time,
my car broke down
and I had to be towed
home. I lied to my
mom about where the
car broke down!
What a good little
lier I was! My mom caught me lieing to her and I quick made
up a story to fool her!
She was screaming at
me. I was lucky I was
able to make up that
story- and convence
her that I wasn't lieing! Little know it
all! Vicious little brat!
Another time, I told mom I paid next
to nothing for baseball cards when
I paid thousands of dollars- and was so sneaky - sneaking
the cards into the house- and meeting my mom at church- and acting like a
little angel! My mom
thought I was such a
little angel! What a brat I was! I lied to my mom at least once or twice a day about something! So good at
fooling mom! Vicious
little brat! And mom thought I was such a little angel! Never
confessed my lieing to
mom and many other
things in confession!
Vicious little brat!
When I was leaving
the house to go some
where- mom told
me that she was so
glad to have a good
kid like me! Sure!
I was so good at
fooling mom! Vicious
little brat!
 
Bernie Mac Show-
Bernie took his kid
to preschool. Here-
the teacher asks the kids what they want to  do- instead of the
teacher telling them
what to do. Bernie's
kid wanted to play on the swings- but, the brat on the swing wouldn't get off the
swings, so Bernie ordered him to get off. The teacher told
Bernie that commands
are not to be used-
but reason must be used. Bernie reasoned
with the brat and it
worked.
Mom's mom used to
have a picture of the
Last Supper. Mom
doesn't know where
that picture went
when her mom died.
Mom thinks that her
sister sold their Dining
room set- when their
mom died to a neighbor. Mom doesn't
know what happened
to her mom's other
furniture when her
mom died. Mom had
a dresser from her mom and she let
dad's brother store it.
Never got the dresser
back- and there was
all kinds of pictures
in that dresser- including my class
pictures from school.
I belive mom's sister
or her own mom tried
to teach my mom
how to play the piano-
when she was little.
Mom's older sister
married a man who
was well off- so her sister
could live in big
houses and take
European trips.
Mom had a brother who died when he was
6 years old. Mom's
parents both died of
accidents when they
were in their 40's.
Mom blaimed God
and she quit going to
church. When mom
married dad- dad
convenced mom to go
back to church.
Dad was a cook in the
military during World
War II. Dad served in
the Pacific- Saipan.
When dad started
out in business- building houses- I believe that dad had
to go to Indiana- to learn how to build prefabs.
Played a game called
"Down to One" at
a place known as 5SW. I was taught
this game by an older
lady. The game was
very similar to UNO-
was played with 2 decks of cards.
Kings- reversed play,
Queen- skip the next
player and aces were
wild. Used 2 decks
of cards. Down to One
was invented about
1970 by someone
in Ohio. UNO with special cards came on
the market in 1971 by
the same inventor.
I learned this game
with regular cards
in 1974. I wonder
if the person who taught me this game
had a friend or a friend of a friend who
knew the inventor.
Otherwise, I wonder
how this person found
out about this game.
At 5SW- Joanne was
Karen and Patti's older friend. They used to sneak off
the unit together.
Seen them force a door open. Joanne yelled at my mom at
a meeting. Karen and
Patti used to chase
each other around.
Vicious little brats!
They were both sisters- about 12 years old. Joanne was
about 16 to 18 years
old. John Boy was about 8 years old and
was my roommate.
Tracy, Bruce and Dave
were about 12 years
old. Frank was a staff
member. I was 23.
I thought John Boy
stole my radio. I was
wrong. Stella used
to make coffee.
Used to play pool with Bruce and Tracy.
Went bowling and
played miniature golf
with Bruce and Tracy
also. Bowled a 121
game.
5SW , Training center
and my present job
are all less then 3 miles apart from one another by car.
One or both of my
brothers had a bicycle.
Another toy- marbles.
More Tv that I used
to watch- Beverly
Hillibillies, Bewitched,
Fugutive, Mission Impossable, FBI, etc.
Gerry said to me- "I
didn't think that you were Catholic?"
On trips in the 60's-
ran into big snow storms in West Chester, Pennsylvania
and Clines Corners,
New Mexico.
I have all my report
cards from 1st grade
through College.
Still have my high school yearbook.
Have the addresses
of all my high school
classmates- which
was sent to me-
to invite me to my
class reunion.
At the ball park- I told
my brother to look
at the bottle cap
of his soda- to see
if he won a free soda.
Brother didn't- but one of his kids won!
A dad's little brat
was giving her dad
a bad time at the
library. The brat didn't want to go with her
dad to look at the
children's books-
but, wanted to stay
in the adult section
instead. Wouldn't
corporate with her
dad at all. Vicious
little brat!
A libarian was yelling
at me- because she
didn't like what I was
doing on the computer. I wasn't
doing anything
wrong. What a bitch-
some people are!
You would think that
in college- you would
see no little brats
anymore. Not So!
There was some kind of a tap dance event-
and there must have been several hundred
kids there. One was
rollerbladding in side
the student union.
Another was going down (sliding down)
the railing on the stairs.

time- is still alive.
I believe this sister and her husband are in a nursing home.
Had a real smart kid- who became a lawyer.

I addition to my picture being in its

there is another picture of me- taking
a drink at a bubbler.
I had my picture and
a brief quote in the
Waukesha Newspaper.
A reporter asked me for my opinion as to
whether a hospital
should be built.
My dad had his picture
and a brief quote
in the Waukesha
paper. A reporter asked dad his opinion
as to whether the
death penalty should
be in Wisconsin.
A reporter from the
Milwaukee newspaper
came to the Waukesha chess club-
several times to take
pictures and do a story on the chess club.
About once or twice a year get to play chess
masters in simmules-
where everyone in the chess club sets up boards and the chess
master goes from board to board- making  moves.
When I joined the chess club- this is what was going on.
A chess club member
who left the club,
came back for a visit
and told me how happy he was- now that he got married.
Way back when- me and my brothers
got 25 cents for
an allowence each week. Back
then- would buy
comic books for 10 cents each- and baseball card gum
packs for 5 or 10 cents each. Back then-
a quarter was worth something!
Way back when- when
I was a little kid- our
family visited mom's
sister and their family
in Plainfield, New Jersey. Dad took
the New Jersey Turnpike through
New Jersey. Stayed at mom's sisters house
for about a week.
Also stayed at this
same sister's house
in Fulton, New York
and West Chester,
Pennsylvania. When
visiting them in Fulton- went to
see Santa Claus at Santa's village
in North Pole, New York. Still have a pennet that I purchased at Santa Claus village. I was just a little kid on this trip. Took several trips to Arizona to stay
at dad's brother's
family house for about
a week at a time. I
was an older kid now-
but I was still in school. Visited  and
stayed at one of dad's
war buddies friends house for about a
week in Kansas. They lived on a chicken farm. All of these relatives and friends visited our house
and stayed for about a week also.
We may have went
to Santa Claus village
on trip to Plainfield,
New Jersey- instead of Fulton, New York.
I was just a baby when mom made this
trip to Fulton, - and
mom made this trip
by airplane. The airplane made a stop
in Detroit. I was just a baby- and it's very
dooubtful that I would
remember this trip.
Must have visited Santa's village from
Plainfield, New Jersey.
This happened when I was 8 to 10 years
old- and I do remember this trip
and Santa's village.
When I was a little kid- I was telling dad where to go- and what
highways to take!
Took highway 66
from Chicago to Arizona and on another trip - took
highway 66 from
Chicago to Los Angeles! This was in
the 60's. Took turnpikes and tollroads to visit
mom's sister's family
in Pennsylvania.
On My Wife and Kids-
Katie was driving the tour guide crazy in Hawaii when the tour
guide was explaining things- and Katie kept
asking the tour guide-
"Why?" when ever the tour guide got done explaining something.
Katie was acting like
a brat and was driving
the tour guide crazy.
Way back when-
mom used to make bacon and eggs and
toast for breakfast
on Sundays. Now we
have toast and cereal.
Mom still makes scrambled eggs- sometimes on Fridays.
Mom's mom used to slap mom across the
face- when mom's
mom didn't want mom to get her way- when
mom was a kid.
Mom said- Can't do that today.
One time I bought
some vanilla folders
home from work.
My mom thought I stole them. Some moms can be so suspecious.
Mom wanted to know
what I was trying to
hide in a safe deposit box. Moms can be so
suspecious!
My boss at work
gave me a small pizza
to eat. I put it in the

A worker at work
reminds me a lot
of the wlfe of my
youngest brother.
Same build, same
personality- they both
like to gab, about the
same age, both are
mothers, both have jobs. They are the spitting image of one
another.  This worker
said she was being
punished because she
had to work late-
to make up for the time that the computer programs
wern't working. Of
course she had to work late- because the work had to get done- and it wasn't
her fault that the computer system
wasn't working right.
My mother thought that a picture of my youngest brother's
kid- was in a drug store  ad- because
there was talk that
this kid was going to be a model. Not true-
the picture wasn't him.
My mother thought she saw my youngest brother in church.
I told my mother that
she was wrong. Some one just looked like my youngest brother.
My mother thought that a kid in church- looked just like my youngest brother's kid. Of course, it wasn't him.
Pictures of me and my mom and dad were in the last 3 church directories of my church.
My youngest brother
after he left home
and got married
lived in apartments
in Greenfield, Muskego, Pewaukee,
A very large house
in Waukesha, and
two different houses
in East Troy.
My second oldest brother after he left
home lived in houses
in both Manitowoc
and Two Rivers-
and West Allis.
Went to both my brothers weddings
and receptions.
Also went when my youngest brother
had his kid baptized.
Ran into a grade school classmate
at my 2nd oldest
brother's church in
Manitowoc - Two Rivers. His name was Bob from 6th to 8th
grade. This was about
20 or 25 years after I
last seen him! Used to play on the playground with him-
playing with my Superball!
 
Mom said- That tree house on our street is real nice. Has a slide
going down from tree
house. Mom said-
Those parents must really love their kids-
to give them such a nice tree house.
Mom used to visit
her aunt Torre on
Grange Ave. Mom
used to climb up a tree and her aunt would yell at her-
because her aunt was afraid mom would get hurt.
Mom's dad would carry mom on his shoulders.
Mom didn't like this.
Both of mom's parents died of accidents when they were in their 40's. (42 and 48
to be exact).
Mom lived by herself
on Lafayette Place
near downtown Milwaukee before she
got married. After
they got married- dad
moved in with mom
on Lafayette Place.
Lived there in an apartment for about
4 years till dad built
mom a prefab house-
north of Villard ave
in Milwaukee. Till
this day- mom still
has her original bedroom set from
Lafayette Place.
Has the bed, a dresser and a chest
of drawers.
A sister of dad's who
now lives in Franklin-
went to Bay View High
school in the 1940's.
This was the same school that mom and dad went to.
On the day that we moved to an apartment for 6 months in April of 1973- there was a big snow storm. Apartment was on 100th st- south of
Hampton ave.
Apartment was on the 2nd floor.
During the summer of 1973- ran away from
home (apartment).
When I was running
away a cop stoped me
and asked me what I was doing. I lied to the cop and told the cop I was going home.
The cop asked me where I lived- and
the cop told me to go the other direction-
because I was going
the wrong way.
After the cop left-
I turned around
and headed back to the bus stop- where
I caught a bus to go
downtown to stay
at a hotel. I stayed
at the hotel for about
1 or 2 weeks.
Got a job as a security guard and stayed at a hotel
downtown. Took the
bus to a bank at a mall and the bank notified the police
who came and took
me to my parents.
The police officer asked me what I did-
and I told him I was
a Security guard.
The security company
did not want to pay me- so mom got on the phone and told them to pay me- or
she would report them. They then paid
me. They didn't want
to pay me- because I
was fired for entering
a condo where people
were living. The condo
owner asked me what I was doing- and told me in no uncertain
terms to leave.
I was then reported
and fired.
Our present home
is a couple of blocks
from the freeway.
Live on a hill- and can
see the cars buzzing
buy on the freeway-
between all the trees.
House has to be at least 5 to 8 stories
above the freeway.
Can look over to the neighbors and see
their back yards and
inground swimming
pools and playground equipment for their kids. Quit a view!
Between the trees- one can see for miles!
We have a deck in our backyard- one story
above ground level-
with a stairway to
ground level.
Other neighbors
also have decks,
patios and inground
pools. We do not have
a pool.
Low flying private
planes often fly right
over our house- as
they are coming in for a landing at the airport- about 2 miles
from our house.
Once went to Cave of the Mounds in Wisconsin.
Mom said- we sure went to some nice places with our kids.
A McDonald's in our area has a juke box.
A McDonalds in the Twin Cities has a piano that plays itself.
When visiting Canada-
the McDonalds served
pizza. A McDonalds
in Lake Mills, Wisconsin used to serve pizza. Mom liked this so much and
even called McDonalds
main office to see if
all McDonalds would
do this. Mom found out- they would not
do this.
In high school I almost got in trouble
when I went to the
library instead of
study hall. Either I didn't follow the procedure or some one
else didn't. Lucky- the
librarian took my word
for it- that I was
actually in the library
and not fooling around
in the hallways or
outside.
My mom played huckey from school when she was a kid.
I once played huckey
when I was going to
college. Tried to take
a bus and hitch a ride
to go to Holy Hill.
Finally had to go into a bar and ask someone if they would
give me a ride back to
school. I offered some
one $10 bucks for
a ride back- and some
one gave me a ride.
I got as far as Richfield- where
the tavern was. I never did get to Holy Hill- because I was
running out of time.
I had to get back to school- so I could catch the bus- so mom could pick me up- at the end of the bus line. Playing
huckey was lots of fun.
I was a brat in college. Chased another student
around the student
union and that student reported me to security. Had to show my I.D. to security. Played cards
for money in the
student union. I lost.
The next time they
asked me to play cards again. This time
I lost again- but I
refused to pay up.
($36.00 bucks). They
said they would not
play cards with me
again. Vicious little
brat.
Tried to cheat on a test in college- when
the instructor was out
of the room. It was
an essay test and I
was looking at another students test.
Didn't get very far-
the material was over
my head.
I also got an "F" in
an English class in college. It was a class
about Shakespeare.
Was I ever a brat in
college!
I also played chess
at the university chess club. And several times checked
out a chess set from
the student union
recreational room-
and played chess with
another student in
the student union
sports bar and restaurant.
Several times I took
a whole week off
from work- and told
mom I was going to
work each day. One
time mom even tried
to call me at work-
but, no one answered
the phone. Just like
my youngest brat brother who let dad
take him to religious
class- but he never went to class-
but played on the playground instead.
What brats- me and
my youngest brother
were! Mom, would drive past my work place and talking to herself would say
"hi" to me. I wasn't even at work. Pretended to go to work- just like my
youngest brother
pretended to go to
religious class each
week! Vicious little
brats!
One time I went
through some of
mom's personal information in her
bedroom- because
I needed to get
the info for someone.
If mom would have
caught me- I would
have been in big trouble! Vicious
little brat!
Two other times I
went through mom's
purse. Didn't find what I was looking
for- these 2 times.
Was I ever a brat!
And mom always said
that she makes it a
point never to go through my things.
Was I ever a brat!
Liked to lie to my mother, just like
those brats on Nanny
911. It was so much
fun!
My mom used to hike
to the cemetery
and her aunt Torre's
house when she was
a kid. Maybe 2 or 3 miles.
A few hikes that I made are as follows.
From the ball park
to my 2nd oldest brother's home-
about 3 miles.
From the ball park
to where dad parked his car- about 1 mile.
From our apartment
in Milwaukee to a
library- about 2 1/2
miles- one way.
When I was a security
guard- Me and another
guard used to take
the bus to a shopping
mall. Then had to walk about 1 mile
to the condos - where
we worked. After
work - we both had to hike about 4 or 5
miles to the bus stop
because the shopping mall was then closed-
and we could no longer catch the
bus there. Other
guard- pointed out
to me - a road that ran on a angle.
Other guard took
me inside a condo
that was under construction and showed it to me.
Had walke talkees-
so the other guard and me could contact
one another. I went
into a condo where people were living.
I wasn't supposed to do that. I was only supposed to guard
the condos that were under construction.
A few days later- I
was fired- as the owner of that condo
complained to the
security company.
Was I ever a brat!
Other hikes that I took-
From our house in
Waukesha to the barber shop- about
1 mile one way and 2
miles both ways.

in Waukesha to a
gas station and back to the university-
about 2 miles.

On Bernie Mac Show-
Bernie's 3 little brats
told Bernie that they
took a vote among
themselves- and wanted Bernie to make a certain dish
for supper. Bernie said
no- and the 3 brats
started yelling at
Bernie and told Bernie
that sense Bernie made a promise-
that Bernie was now
a lier for telling them
one thing- and
then doing another
thing. Bernie's
brats kept yelling-
"Lier!, Lier!, Lier!"
tell Bernie got the
message that Bernie's
3 brats were in charge- and not Bernie!
On Bernie Mac shows-
a brat was swinging
on the light fixture
above the dining room
table- while everyone
else was eating.
On My Wife and Kids-
Clare was in the bathroom to long and
Katie wanted to use
the bathroom. Clare
opened the bathroom
door- and Claire's
hair was a mess.
Mom told Clare and
Katie to work this
problem out themselves- and
mom left.
Mom was a brat, too!
We used to go to all-you can eat buffet
restaurents. Mom
used to order for herself- just a sandwich and drink.
The rest of our family each ordered an all
you can eat buffet.
Mom used to send me up to the buffet counter- to get food for her. She was careful to make sure
no employee seen
her- when she was eating this food- sense she hadn't ordered a buffet- or
paid for one!
I too am a brat!
They very often charge me only 79 cents for a jumbo dog
at a gas station- when the real price for a jumbo dog is $1.59!
The small hot dogs
are 79 cents! I sometimes get my jumbo hot dogs for
half price! Of course-
I never tell the clerk
about it! I have saved
nearly $30.00 on hot
dogs- by not informing
the clerk that she made a mistake!
Am I ever a brat!
Several times I got free merchandise- because the clerk never rang it up!
Being the brat I am -
I just took the merchandise off the
counter and walked
out of the store.
Mom is also a brat-
because at a restaurant she would
take a dessert at the register and then receive another
dessert when she received her meal!
Of course- she just kept the 2nd dessert-
even though she only paid for one dessert!
This has happened
several times.
Mom also looked
at her receipt a few times- and when she
discovered that she
wasn't charged for something- would not
say anything- when at
restaurents!
Dad used to take
lots of packages
of salt, pepper,
mustard and ketchup-
with him as he left the restaurent. Same
thing with paper napkins!
My little brat brother
used to steal candy
out of everyone's Easter baskets- as while as steal candy bars and cookies
out of mom's kitchen!
I made photocopies
at work- for my personal use all the time! I even made
copies at work- that
mom wanted me to make for her!
My 2nd oldest brother
always fills up his soda cup for a refill-
and then takes the soda with him when
he leaves the restaurent. Free refills
are supposed to be comsumed inside
the restaurent-
according to my mom.
I am not a senior citizen- but got a senior citizen card at a restaurent and use it all the time to get discounts!
Mom used to get discounts at the movie theater-
because she looked younger then she was- and got in for the kid's price- even
when she was no longer a kid!
My mom used to take toilet paper from
motel rooms till
the priest told her that it was stealing. 
Mom told me that if
she found a large sum
of money and didn't know who it belonged
to- that she would
just keep it- and not
turn it in! Mom also
thought that anyone who reported income
to the goverment
that the goverment
did not know about-
was nuts! And my mom even quit
going to church when
she was younger!
You see- my mom is
or was just as much of a brat as me and my youngest brother!
What a bunch of brats
we have in our family!
My mom even says that no one is perfect-
and that all people
make mistakes!
Mom thinks people
should forgive one another. Everyone makes mistakes.
My mom was even willing not to yell or
get mad at my youngest brother
when he slept with
his girl friend and
quit going to church!
My mom liked former President Clinton so much-
that when he was fooling around- that
mom was willing to
forgive him! We all
make mistakes- mom
would say!
Dad and mom used to both drink and smoke
and on a few ocassions would get
hang overs from drinking too much!
They are both angels
now- and haven't drank or smoked in years! Mom started
smoking because of
pier pressure. She
wasn't allowered
to set at the same
table as her friends-
unless she smoked!
So she took up smoking! All or most
of dad's and mom's friends and relatives
drank and smoked!
Mom finally put a stop
to going to bars- and that was it! No bars-
in the past 30 years
or so! How nice!
A supervisor of
mine used to let me
go home early from
work sometimes
on Fridays. The supervisor told me and my co-worker
how to get out of the building without
being seen- by a higher up boss!
At work- my computer
once got a virus- and
had to be taken in
to be repaired!
The computer that
Chris used-
crashed- and
also needed repairs!
Chris is an outgoing
employee who likes
to gab a lot. Very
similar personality
to my youngest
brother's wife! Both
act the same- and
even look somewhat alike. Both work
outside the home-
and both have a kid or kids. And both like to gab a lot! Very similar
personalities!
I believe my youngest brother first met
his to be wife- at
the office where he
worked at the time. My youngest
brother now works for a
company- but does his
work on his computer
in his office at home.
Office is in his basement.
His wife drives about
45 miles one way
to get to her job
in Glendale.
Youngest brother works for an HMO
(health maintence
organization) and
I believe his wife-
works in some kind
of health care.
Mom used to go to
high school football
games when she
was going to Bay View High. Games were held on Wind Lake Ave. Sometimes
Bay View high
played South Division
high. Games were held on Friday - in the evenings.
I went to a high school football game at least once at my high school- New Berlin High.
Two of my favorate teachers in high school were Nugent
(History) and Parker
(Science).
Two of my favorate
teachers in 7th and
8th grade were
Witt (social studies)
and Strolls (English).
Mrs. Shane was a teacher- in earlier
grade school. Terry
was a kid- I worked
on projects with- in
earlier grade school.
Some 7th and 8th
grade students-
in my class were Bob,
Daniel, Ronald, Larry,
Pat, Dave, Joe, Mary, etc.
Used to play with my superball with Bob.
Dan and Ron were friends- and used to trade baseball cards with each other.
My 2nd oldest brother was one grade below me- and ended up having most of the
same teachers that
I had- at least in 7th
and 8th grade. My 2nd oldest brother and me- sometimes had the same teachers
in high school- and even college- even
though he was always
one year behind me!
I talked my 2nd oldest
brother into taking
a Sociology class
that I took in college-
because I liked the teacher.
Some one in my
Calculus class in
college- asked the
teacher when we were
going to study a certain thing. The teacher told that student that we just
got done studying
that thing!
One of my youngest
brat brothers teachers
at St. Williams was Rappest- when my brother was in 7th and 8th grade. This teacher recently
retired. My brat brother used to make
his teachers yell at
him on purpose by
being naughty!
A tutor I had when i was a little kid was
named Dore- or Doer-
I think. She was a women.
I won several contests- where I won
free gasoline for my car- and won money
and trophies at my
chess club.
I don't believe that I
ever missed a day at work- because I was sick!
I pay mom for food
each week- sense
I live at home.
A brat was trying to pull away from his dad
while walking in the parking lot at the library.
3 or 4 brats were laughing and fooling around in the next room at the chess club.
2 brats wern't getting
a long together so their dad told them to
behave- and not
punch one another.
This was at a tailgate
party in the parking
lot- prior to the
baseball game. My
youngest brother got
to the game about 30
minutes late- because
the game was a sell out- and he had trouble getting into
the parking lot with his car. Everyone at
game got bobble head dolls of a baseball player. My 2nd oldest brother has a cabinet full of bobble head dolls in a cabinet at
his house. Some
people at the game gave my youngest
brother and his kid- their 2 bobble head dolls- so my brother
and his kid ended
up with 4 bobble head dolls to take home!
I went to the game with my dad, my
youngest brother and his kid, and my 2nd
oldest brother and his 3 kids. My two brothers didn't talk to
one another at the game- and mom thought that was strange- because these 2 brothers
were always close buddies. My mom thinks that my two brothers don't talk to
each other- because
my 2nd oldest brother
wants to see my youngest brother's
new house- and my
youngest brother
won't invite my 2nd oldest brother over because he is afraid
that my 2nd oldest brother's 3 brats will
wreck his house! Mom
agrees with my youngest brother-
because she too doesn't like it when
my 2nd oldest brother
brings his 3 brats to
my mom's house- and
they run around and wreck stuff!
Also- my
2nd oldest brother's 3 brats would not talk
to my dad- at the ball game. Dad said to mom- "That's not unusual"- They won't even talk to mom when mom and dad
come to visit them!
When visiting my 2nd
oldest brother at his house- my 2nd oldest brother's wife would
often work on her hobbies- as if she had no company at all!
My mom didn't like this!
Cousins- Franklin, Wi.- Mel Ray, Greg,
Darlene, Kurt.
Phoenix, Az.- Mary Beth, Jerry, Billy.

Franklin, Wi- Dave.
Muskego- Danny.

Some Training center people-- Lyndee,
Lee, Mick, Sue, Margaret, Randy-client, Randy- supervisor, Barb,
Bob, Ben, Larry, Kim,
Margee, Karen, Gerry,
Tom, John, Bill.
Some 5sw people-
Tracy, Bruce, John Boy, Joanne, Karen,
Patti, Dave, Frank,
Stella.
Some chess club people- Jim-president,
Jeff- a doctor, Thomas, Kyle, Tony,
Little Samuel, etc.
May have had a cousin named Rammy.
All of the kids that my
mom had- had names
that started with "J".
Same with my 2nd oldest brother. Six
kids- with names that started with "J."
Jeff was my
little brat brother.
Mom signed a petition
saying that she wanted sewers in
our subdivision. I think she was the only one who wanted sewers. Mom is a fighter and when she thinks she's right-
she's willing to stand
up against everyone!
At 5sw- mom got into
an argument with
little know it all Joanne. Joanne told
mom that she was
treating me like a baby- because she was washing my hair
even though I was an adult! Mom got mad
at Joanne and started yelling at everyone-
and told everyone that she washed my hair because I had a dandruff problem!
Everyone at the meeting agreed with little know it all
Joanne- and mom got
mad at everyone!
Little know it all Joanne- would get into arguments with
the staff- when she felt that her rights
were being violated.
Joanne, and 2 sisters
(Karen and Patti)
would push on a locked back door
to get it open- so
they could sneak
off the unit together.
I seen them do this-
at least once! Of course, they would get restricted (loose
their privilages) when
they returned. What
a bunch of brats!
One time at the barber shop- mom
was waiting in the
car- till the barber
cut my hair. When
the barber took a person that came in
after me- before me-
mom got mad and came in the barber shop- and pulled me
out of the barber shop
and took me home
without a hair cut!
When mom thinks she's right- she will stop at nothing!
She once got mad
at dad and kicked
dad out of the house.
Dad then went to live
with his youngest brother for awhile.
Mom later got mad
at dad again- and
told dad that she kicked him out of the house once- and was
willing to do it again!
When mom gets
overcharged at a store- she already has told people off. Like
when she told a manager she would never shop at his store again- because
of a dispute on the
price of an item!
Mom doesn't care
how many people
see her get mad!
If she thinks that she's right- she will
get mad and yell!
Lyndee at the training
center- was the same
way! Lyndee would
yell at anybody-
including me, Randy,
and Karen when we
3 little brats were
naughty!
At the training center-
Randy used to shoot
rubber bands. Karen
told Lyndee that she
was a bitch, and I
refused to obey Lyndee- even when she was screaming
at me! The training
center even called
my mom- and told mom that I was being naughty! Mom asked
me if that was so-
but mom never did get mad at me!
She didn't even raise her voice! What a good mom I have!
This is the same mom
who never got mad or yelled at my youngest brother for sleeping
with his girl friend before marriage
or for quitting church!
What a good mom!
 
On My Wife and Kids-
Katie made her dad
some soup. Her dad
side to her- "This
isn't out of the toilet-
like last time- is it?"
Katie- "No",
It's out of the fish tank. Her dad almost threw up. What a brat
Katie is!
Mom's Uncle Eagnog
and her Aunt Torre
did some farming.
These relatives lived pretty close to one another on the south
side of Milwaukee
near Mitchell Field
airport. Mom's mom
used to get stuff
from these relatives
gardens- like tomatoes. The going
price of tomatoes
was 5 cents per one pound or 6 pounds
for 25 cents. This was
when mom was a kid.
Dad lived in the city
for awhile on Van
Buren St. Dad's
parents would tell
dad- you better
behave- or I am going
to give you to the junkman.
The junkman used to come around mom and
dad's neighborhoods
and pick up junk that
people wanted to get rid of. Of, course
dad believed his
parents- when they
said stuff like this!
Went to an outdoor
mass at a church festival. Mom said
to me- "If the nuns
that I went to school
with at St. Josaphat
school would have
seen this- they would
have turned over in
their graves! When I was in school- the nun
sent me home to change my stockings
because they were
too short! The nuns
were very strict at
my school!" The 4 year old brat in front
of me- at this mass
kept climbing over
the cardtable chairs,
was playing with his
dad's umberalia,
and kept poking his older sister in the back.
I once went to confession where the
archbishop was having
confession. I did
not go to confession
to the archbishop.
What a brat I am!
I didn't even remind
mom and dad to go
to confession at
Christmas- and they
forgot to go! That
means I didn't have to go for Christmas either! I didn't remind them for Easter either- and they never went for Easter either!
What a little devil-
I am! I never confessed all my sins in confession anyway!
My youngest brat brother doesn't go to church or confession
at all! What brats- me and my youngest brother are! 
In Milwaukee home
when I was a kid-
my dad stayed up
half the night on
Christmas Eve putting
together a train set
that he bought for
me and my brother
for a Christmas gift.
Some streets that I
lived on. Lafayette Pl. Milwaukee, N. 55th st-

Used to take travelers
checks on vacation.
Because so many places didn't accept
them- we now just
take cash.
Baseball movies
that I saw on TV
and liked- Damn
Yankees, Field of Dreams, Major League-which was
filmed at Milwaukee
County Stadium.
Tv shows that I
watched- Voyage to
the Bottom of the Sea.
Chess club locations
sense I becamer a member- about 30
years ago.
Knights of Columbus-
Moreland blvd. Rent
was free- but club
members were expected to purchase drinks at the bar.
Played in at least
2 different rooms.
Steeplechase Inn-
Waukesha. Played
not far from the indoor pool- and sometimes in another
room. There was a bar.
The Loft- restaurent
on Bluemound rd.
Only served lunch.
When chess club was there- there was no one else there. One of the chess players had
to get a liquor license- to be able to get drinks from the bar to serve the club members- honor system.
Motor Inn- on North st
in downtown Waukesha. Had a bar.
Labor Temple- south
of Sunset dr. Waukesha. Very small
area to play chess. And members were expected to stay
in that small area- even though the rest
of the room wasn't being used at that time.
H & R Block- Sunset dr. Waukesha. Small
room. A temporary
location- till the club
was able to find a bigger location.
Couldn't use this location- during income tax time.
Once forgot the key-
and some chess members took the
back door off the hinges- so we could get in and play chess.
The rent on the place was already paid- at that point.
Sunset Bowl- bowling
alley on Sunset Drive Waukesha. Played
in a very large room
or rooms and then was transfered to an
extremely small room-
after bowling alley was remolded. Room
was way to small- so
the club went to H & R block- a block or 2 away- till a better
location could be found. I went bowling
at Sunset Bowl a few times with Bruce
and Tracy from 5SW.
Eagles club-  Grandview Blvd-
Waukesha. Large
rooms for chess and a bar. Current location.
Member weekly rent-
club met once a week-
low- free, high $3.00
a week, present- $2.00 a week.
Starting times varied from 8:00 pm to the current time of 6:30 Pm. Days met- Mondays, changed to
Thursdays, changed
to Wednesday- which
is the current day.
Sometimes go to Southwest Chess club
at Christmas time-
when they serve food
and snacks- to celebrate Christmas.
Met in Hales Corners
library- and now they meet in the basement
at the Hales Corners Village hall.
At my chess club-
the club champion
named Jim was playing all the other chess players in a simo. I beat the club champion in 34 moves
when he resigned.
This same day- the club president- also
named Jim- gave
the club champion-
the trophy for being
club president.
The club president was watching me-
when I beat this guy!
The champion was
playing about 16 or 17 players at once.
2 brats- Little Samuel
and Tony were having
fun playing "monster"
chess. Tony spilled
some soda- and wiped
it off the table- onto
the shirt that he was wearing- instead of going to the restroom
to get paper towels to wipe it up with. Tony
also opened up a closet door to see what was inside.
Little Samuel is about
5 or 6 years old. Tony
about 13 or 14 years old.
5sw events in 1974-
Staff suggested to the
clients that they should have pillow
fights to relieve tensions.
Some clients bought
records to play on the
stereo turntable in
the upper lounge.

up with John Boy-
in the room closest
to the rec. room.
I believe Tracy was
in the room next to mine. Joanne's

I was wrong.
A staff member told
me to get off the phone and I told the
staff member to tell
another person to get
off to.
Used to wet the bed-
when I was a little kid.
I was so good at fooling my mom.
Mom said to me- "It
isn't how much that
you eat- you just don't get enough ecercise. You eat the
same amount as your dad." I sure fooled
mom. I stopped at
gas stations and
restaurants to eat
extra food.
I lied to my mom about everything!
It was so much fun!
I told her I no longer
had a safe deposit
box- after I opened
another one up.
I told her I was carrying a small amount of money- when I was carrying
several hundred
dollars. I tod mom
I was spending very
little on baseball
cards- when I was spending several
hundred dollars
each week for about
2 years. I used to be
real sneaky and wait
for mom to go to
church- sneak the
cards into the house
and rush over to church to meet mom.
I acted so innocent in church- when mom asked me what I did
that day! Was I ever
a good little lier! Vicious little brat!
Mom once caught
me lieing to her and
I fooled mom by
telling her that I didn't lie to her- and
then making up a story to fool her!
She was screaming
at me- jusk like
Lyndee used to!
She screamed- "You lied to me! I don't want you lieing to me!" She then said to me- "I want you to
promise me that you won't lie to me."
I then made up a story to fool her! Was
I ever a smart little brat! So good at fooling my mom!
I lied to her every day- about where I was going when I left
the house! Vicious little brat- just like my youngest brother.
You would have thought that the world
just came to an end!-
when mom was yelling
at me for lieing to her!
Lyndee acted the same way- when I wouldn't obey her-
and Lyndee was screaming at me!
Lucky, I was able
to make up that story
to fool mom! And talking so smart back
at Lyndee when Lyndee was screaming
at me!
Was I ever smart!
Just like my know it all little brat brother
who made his teachers yell at him-
and just wouldn't
listen to mom. He
was naughty all the
time! Talking back
to mom and disobeying mom-
like eating his chocolate Easter bunny afrer mom told
him not to! He then laughed at mom-
and told mom the
Easter bunny was getting smaller- because it was the incredible shrinking
Easter Bunny! He was laughing at mom
after mom yelled at him by saying- "I thought I told you-
you couldn't eat any of that!" Mom was
mad- and he was
laughing! What,
a vicious brat my
my youngest brother, Jeff was!
He used to pretend
to eat his supper-
put a napkin over
his mouth- put
the food from his
mouth into the napkin and then
put the food down the
garbage disposal-
all the while talking
to mom and laughing!
What a smart kid- Jeff was! Mom then gave him dessert because
mom thought that
he ate his supper!
Told mom he didn't need a crutch like
others who went to church- and pretended
to go to religion class- while playing on the playground! Also,
slept with his girl friend before marrying her and quit
going to church!
What a vicious little brat! Him and me
chased each other
around the house
and Jeff peed down
the laundry chute
and stole cookies and
candy bars out of mom's kitchen. He ran across mom's good furniture and played with mom's stereo
and turntable- fooling around with mom's records on the turntable. He always told mom that
he was glad that he was not a goody, goody! He liked
to raid everyone's
Easter baskets- and steal candy! Mom even asked him- "Are
you planning on raiding our Easter baskets?" As he
was lieing on his bed
with his shirt sticking
out- mom asked him-
"What mischief are
you planning to do now?" Thid kid would
get up from the kitchen table and eat his cookies- and get crumbs all over the floor- after mom told him to stay at the kitchen table! He would not listen to mom- and dad refused to say anything because dad said-
"What good would it do?" This kid had a mind of his own.
He used to be naughty to make his teachers yell at him-
and then he would brag about it! He said- "This teacher won't yell!"- when he
was being naughty-
trying to make the
teacher yell at him!
He said- "I don't see how anyone would want to be a teacher-
with brats such as me!"
He used to blow up plastic bags and pop them with his hands-
to make loud noises.
Played with fire and got burned. Mom then
spanked him!- the only time he got a spanking! What a brat! No wonder me and him had so much fun- chasing each
other around the house!
I once told a priest
that I committed
a mortal sin 14 times
and the priest did not think that I was sorry-
and didn't want to
give me absolution!
Was I ever a little devil! I committed this same mortal sin-
many other times as while! And mom thought I was such
a goody, goody!
When I first started
college- I did real
well. I even got a's
on most of my papers
I wrote for English class. I then became
a brat- and got an "F"
in an English class
about Shakespeare.
I then got poor
grades and droped
out of college- when
I was a senior. I droped out near the start of my senior
year- so I got grades
of "incomplete" instead of "f"s.
Was I ever a little devil!
What brats- me and my youngest brother were!
My brat brother used to stick out his tongue
when ever dad took
his picture!
I would have liked to
stick out my tongue
and laugh at mom-
if mom caught me
being naughty! It
would have been so
much fun! Little
know it alls! Vicious
little brats!
No body can tell us anything- we know it all!
 
On My Wife and Kids-
dad left his kids to live with out any rules! Eventually all the kids came back to dad- because they discovered that they
needed rules. Dad wouldn't give them any money- and the
oldest brat had to sleep outside and got
all wet when his
dad turned the sprinkler on.
Dad once had n International truck.
Dad once had a sprinkler and used to sprinkle the grass.
Dad had or still has
an answering machine,
a small desk top copier,, a paper shredder, a drawing board, office desk and chair,  filling cabinets,
bulletin board and Paymaster machine for checks and a telephone. Shelves
in office closet.
Went up to the observation deck
at the Sears Tower in Chicago and the Firstar building in
Milwaukee. Used
to go to Mitchel Field
to watch the planes
and once went to O'Hare airport in Chicago- but couldn't see much of anything.
Mom took about 8 rolls of toilet paper
out of the motel rooms we stayed at.
She was very sneaky-
to make sure dad did
not see her. Mom said
that a priest told her it was a sin- but, she did it anyway. At least, my mom isn't a goody goody! I like that! Mom said-
"Those priests aren't
angels themselves!"
Mom had pen pals
in various states-
Texas, New Hampshire, Kentucky,
Pennsylvania, N. or S.
Dakota. Started as a
school project. The pen pal from Texas wanted to marry
mom- but, mom said
no. Roy was from Texas, Jim from Pittsburg. Mom had
pen pals all over the country.
Mom met her sister,
or sister's husband
at O'Hare airport in Chicago a long time ago. Her sister or her husband stayed at the Hilton Hotel- near
O'Hare airport. They flew in from their
home- out east.
Sister's name is Ruth.
Mom and her sister
Ruth were staying
at the Shorecrest
Hotel- and Ruth's
future husband made
a pass at mom.
Mom complained to Ruth. Ruth's future
husband was Bob.
Mom wanted Bob
to pay for mom's
lunch. Bob said-
"You have got to be kidding"
Ruth before she got married- went out
with a guy who designed highways.
Mom said- "I wonder
if he designed the
turnpike- that we are driving on?"
Someone (may have been Ruth) talked
mom out of joining the Wax. She told
mom that she would have to sleep
with the men.
Dad was a cook in the
CB's (Marines) in
the Pacific- Saipen,
Hawaii, etc.
Mom's Aunt Torre-
used to call mom- E-Lee- instead of her name.
Mom used to work at Woolworth dimestore
downtown, Supercharger, and Master Lock- when she was single.
She and her sister quit Master Lock-
because mom had to put small springs
into locks- and mom
hated that.
Mom also worked in
the office at the Heil Company when she was single. There was
once a power failure
and everything came to a halt. Couldn't
operate electric typewritters.
Mom wasn't allowed
to set with the smokers at the Heil Company- unless she smoked. So mom took
up smoking. This was
a lunch room thing.
One time at the Heil Company- the head guy gave everyone a Christmas present. A few employees didn't like it- so they dumped all of their presents on the head guys lawn. That was the end of the presents.
Another time at the Heil company- a cat got into mom's office
and mom was scared of cats.
At my company- I get a gift certificate every
Christmas for food at a grocery store.
Had power failures in all of our houses. Even in Milwaukee-
when they put the
new streets in.
Had power failures
at the training center and at my present job.
My youngest brother's schools were Hickory Grove, Holy Apostles,
St. Williams, Waukesha North High,
UW- Milwaukee.
Jeff used to drive his grade school teacher's crazy- by being naughty and making
his teachers yell at him.
Me and my 2nd oldest
brother- each went
to the same schools-
Carleton, Hampton,
Holy Apostles, New Berlin High, UW- Waukesha, UW-
Milwaukee. I was always one grade
ahead of my 2nd oldest brother.
Me and my 2nd oldest brother went to religion class at Mother of Perpetual
Help and Holy Apostles. Junior and
senior class was in the basement of
the teacher's home-
near Holy Apostles.
Jeff was assigned to
go to religion class
at St. Williams-
but, Jeff was real
sneaky- pretending
to go to class-
but instead playing
on the playground!
What a smart kid,
Jeff was- to fool both
mom and dad- who thought he was at class! And dad drove him each week and picked him up!
Was Jeff ever a smart kid- to ber able to fool both mom and dad!
Just, my kind of kid!
And Jeff used to complain to mom each week that he didn't want to go to religion
class! What a good act- Jeff was putting on- to fool both mom and dad! Just my kind
of kid! Real Smart!
Just like me- when I
was buying 100's of dollars of baseball cards each week- waiting for mom to leave for church-
sneaking the cards
into the house- rushing to church to meet mom- and then lieing to mom about how much I was spending on cards!
I was just as much a brat as Jeff was!
Being so sneaky and lieing to mom!
Me and Jeff- 2 peas
in a pod!
Jeff used to drink beer- but he gave it up long ago. None
of mom's kids- drink
alcohol, smoke,
or drink coffee!
Pretty good I would say!
I slamed the car door
on dad's fingers.
Dad yelled at me to open the door. I should have been looking - before closing the door.
What a brat I was!
I almost burst out laughing- but I didn't.
Mom's dad had a garden when mom was little. So did dad's dad- when dad was little.
Dad got tattos- because dad's dad had some- and dad's mom never complained about them.
When I was a baby-
mom took me to the doctor because I wouldn't stop crying.
The doctor couldn't find anything wrong.
Mom's dad used to buy all his clothes
in Chicago- and only
let mom's mom buy
his underware and
socks in Milwaukee.
Mom's dad read the Chicago newspaper
and went to doctors
in Chicago. Mom's dad
worked for the railroad
that went from Milwaukee to Chicago-
and Mom and her sister Ruth- used to go to Chicago- free
on the railroad.
Stayed at several hotels- in downtown Chicago.
Mom collected rocks
from Canada, Along the Pennsylvania Turnpike, Colorado, Maybe
New Mexico and Arizona. She did
the same thing
with Drift Wood.
She had dad stop the car- so she could collect these things.
Remember going threw the tunnels
on the Pennsylvania
Turnpike.
Mom and dad used to go to a tavern owned
by their friend- Johnny. Mom used to dance the Polka with dad and Johnny.
2 vicious little brats
were chasing each other around a McDonalds restaurent.
They were running in and out of the play area. Reminded me of when me and my youngest brother
used to chase each other around the house.
2 brats were chasing each other around
a department store- and their mom told them to stay put!
Some mom's just don't want their kids to have any fun.
2 little brats were climbing and running
on the chairs in a food court. At least- this mom let them have
fun.
A mom told her little brat named Josh,
to be good, while standing in line
at a checkout lane-
at a gas station.
I almost hit a little
brat with my car- when the brat ran in front of my car! No harm done! On city street.
At a store- 2 brats were at the check out-
and the clerk told the one brat that it was okay to talk back to the other brat- because they were both sisters.
Several brats were
chasing each other around on some playground equipment
at the library.
At a restaurent- the bill eas $6.20. I counted out $6.20
and the cashier thought I gave him
$10.20 and gave me back $4.00 in change.
Of course- I kept the change!
Mom never got charged for a dessert
at a restaurent- and
mom never said anything! I guess
that makes mom and
me- little brats.
My youngest brother
and me used to chase
each other around our
New Berlin home-
and we would run up and down the stairs,
and I would chase Jeff
running on mom's living room furniture,
around the dining room table, and Jeff
would run over the beds- and sometimes
hide under the bed,
behind a door, or in the shower stall.
Jeff also threw a ball-
real hard against a wall. Jeff didn't care!
Jeff would blow up plastic bags and pop
them with his hand
or stamp on them with his feet. He would laugh at everything mom told him- and seldom if
ever- did anything mom told him to do-
or not to do. I encouraged him to
be naughty and was naughty myself- when
I was chasing him around or he was chasing me around the house or playing with mom's stereo,
peeing down the laundry chute, or stealing cookies and candy bars out of the kitchen. He would always talk back to mom and told mom that he knew it all!
He would raid everyone's Easter baskets! What a brat!
Laughed at mom when mom caught him eating his chocolate Easter bunny- after mom told him not to!
He said it was the incredible shrinking Easter Bunny!
Vicious little brat!
He told mom he didn't need a crutch, like
others who went to church! What a wonderful little brat!
Who fooled mom and
dad that he was going to religion class each week- when he never went! And fooled mom
by pretending to eat his supper- and then threw it down the garbage disposal-
all the while talking to mom and laughing!
Mom never caught on-
even when he took a half dozen napkins
to cover his mouth (one napkin at a time)
and sneak the food from his mouth to the
napkin!- all the while-
talking to mom and laughing! What a smart kid- who slept
with his girl friend before marring her-
and he quit going to church! He made his teachers yell at him on purpose by being
naughty and wouldn't listen to anything
that mom told him.
Would eat his cookies
and get crumbs all over the floor after mom told him to stay
at the kitchen table!
Played with fire and got burnt. Mom spanked him!
He was a comedian-
and acted real smart
and made a joke about everything that
mom said to him!
He would but into mom's conversations all the time- and wouldn't stop- even
when mom told him to! What a wonderful
little brat! Just my kind of kid!
I would lie to mom
and be real sneaky
with mom, and not
confess all my sins in
confession, disobey my mom all the time
and lie to her about it! Both me and Jeff
were wonderful
little brats! Two wonderful little brats!
I committed a mortal sin 14 times and the priest didn't want to forgive me in confession- because he thought that I wasn't being serious about it. I fooled mom into thinking I was
spending very little on baseball cards and lieing to her about it,
lied to her about where I was going,
how much money I was carrying, whether I had a safe deposit box, how much food I was eating!
I was just as much a brat as Jeff was! I made Lyndee scream at me, made another supervisor get mad at me and that supervisor took the
program I was working
on and crumbled it
up and threw it in
the wastbasket and
then stormed out of
the room.
And made up a story
to fool mom- when
mom caught me lieing
to her and was screaming at me!
I was a real smart brat- just like
Jeff was! Stole my brother's superball-
and pretended it was mine- while I was playing with it right in front of him. Forged my mom's signature
on a test paper- that the nun wanted mom
to sign- because I got an F and tore several pages out of my grandmother's encyclopedia- that I wanted to keep! And I never
confessed most of my sins in confession!
Two little brats- Me and Jeff! Two peas in a pod.
Mom told me to wait
for her by the restroom- till she
came out. I left-
and mom said to me-
"I thought I told you
to wait for me!"
I tried to use mom's library card number to use
the library computers-
to get 4 hours of time- instead of the
2 hours of time I would get by just
using my card! What
a brat I was!
Mom told me to remind her- to figure
out how much money we owed each other
for expenses on a trip.
I think I am just going
to ignore what mom told me- and hope that mom forgets
about it! Am I ever a brat!
Mom once told me to close a safe deposit box- and I just
ignored what she said. A few weeks later she remembered
and started yelling at me! I was hoping that she would forget about it- and she almost did! I don't care if mom yells at me!
Another time- I just
didn't remind mom and dad to go to confession at Christmas! I did the same thing for Easter!
Mom and dad never did get to confession!
I wonder if mom is going to scream at me- when she realizes what happened?
If mom does scream
at me- I think I will
just laugh and tell her
that I am a saint
and don't need to go to confession!
My brat brother laughed at mom when mom caught him eating his chocolate
Easter bunny- after
mom told him- "I
thought I told you that you couldn't
eat that!" and Jeff told her that he wasn't eating the bunny- but that the bunny was the incredible shrinking
Easter bunny!- and Jeff was laughing at mom! If mom catches
me - I plan to tell
her that I am a saint
and don't need to go to confession! I then
plan to laugh in her face! What vicious
little brats me and Jeff are!
One time mom caught me lieing to her and I told mom that I didn't lie to her and made up a story to fool her!
She was screaming at me!
She said to me- "You
lied to me! I don't want you lieing to me!" "I want you to promise me that you won't lie to me!"
After I made up that story- mom believed me and I had fooled her! What a good
little lier I am!
So good at fooling mom! Even if mom
catches me lieing to her or being naughty-
I can always make up
a story to fool her!
What a vicious little brat I am! I really don't care if mom catches me- for I think I would actually enjoy it when mom is
yelling at me! After all
I am so smart- that I
can always make up a story to fool her!
What a vicious little brat I am!
If mom catches me-
about confession and I tell her that I am a saint- that would be an even bigger lie!
And to think- I don't
even confess these
sins- when I do go to confession! I have never confessed lieing
to mom, or being
so sneaky! Am I ever
a little devil!
Am I ever smart-
to be able to laugh in mom's face and fool her! Just like Jeff used to do- when Jeff pretended to eat his supper and then threw it down the garbage
disposal- talking to mom and laughing!
Me and Jeff are 2 vicious little brats-
who can fool their
mom about anything!
Vicious little brats!
 
Mom's cousin, Angella

I believe Dave lived in a subdivision- close
to his parents.
And Rammey may have been one of dad's
relative's kids too.
Dad had a
friend in Waukegan named Riley. I believe this friend of dad's-
had a kid named Randy. This friend of dad's used to live on Gretta Lane in Waukegan, Illinois.
They and my parents each used to own seperate lake lots in Kenosha County.
Dad had a friend named Clearence
and his wife was Viola. Dad also
had a relative named Charlie who was a Milwaukee county sheriff deputy.
Mom and her brother Earl both went to Saint Josaphat elementary school.
Both mom and Earl used to play huckey from school.
Dad and dad's sister
Bernice both went to Bay View High School.
A lot of these names escape me- because
we didn't see these people to often.
Mom went to St. John's Cathedral
when she lived on the east side of Milwaukee.
Roy (a pen pal of mom's) - sent mom some cash so mom would come to Texas to merry him. Mom declined and sent a money order back ro Roy. Mom lived on Kavanaugh Place
in Wauwatosa at the time.
At Holy Apostles school- 2 students that I played with on the playground- Bob lived on Coldspring Rd. and Dan
on Sunnyslope Rd.
Dan's dad owned a gas station on Cleveland Ave in New Berlin.
A few names of people at my present company- that I work
with or use to work with; Bob, Lyle,
Shirley, Chris, Pat,
Ivan, Tom, Lyle, Gordy,
Sharon, etc. These are
people that I worked with on a daily basis.
Also- Mary- but I worked with her
on an occasional
basis only. Lyle always went deer hunting and played in pool tournaments.
At work- had to go to a safe area when there was a tornado
warning. Some one left the building during the warning-
when they wern't
supposed to.
My company gives their workers popsicles on real hot days. Had popsicles a
lot- when I was a kid.
At the Heil Company-
where mom worked when she was single-
the men could take their suit coats off in
the office.
The woman could not.
Telephone was out at our house and mom had to call the phone company to get the problem fixed. Mom
went over to the next
door neighbor- and he
let mom use his phone to get our phone fixed. Real
nice and friendly neighbor. They have
a real nice house. Mom seen his wife and one of the neighbor's 3 kids.
The other neighbor
on the other side of our house- gave us vegetables from their garden.
Over the years- all sorts of problems occurred
at our Pewaukee home- roof was replaced, Hot water heater, furnance,
water softener, septic pump were all replaced. Tv's had to
be replaced. Problems with refrigerator, microwave oven,
and even the toilet,
as while as the telephone. Facuits on sinks needed work.
House needed painting- inside and out. VCR was relaced several times.
Refrigerator and Freezers were replaced. Put sealer on floors, retar driveway, replace rain gutters, had dead trees cut down,
telephone answering machine broke, Septic tank pumped out several times, Garbage disposal replaced, Lamp in living room broke,
Toaster broke, Water
pump and tank had to be replaced, 2 book shelves fell off the wall when the bolts holding them to the wall broke.
And the house is only 27 years old. I don't
believe anything ever went wrong with the dishwasher or air conditioner- central air. Not sure about washer and dryer.
And the snow blower still works. Oven in kitchen still works.
Lawn mowers had to
be replaced a few times, humidifier never had enough power to cover the whole house, problem with fireplace and chimney, occasional power failures, replaced cars a few times, got very few tomatoes from garden. Not the first time that has happened. And I do think there was a problem with the washing machine
and may be the dryer at least once.
Microwave was replaced, toaster
replaced. Mom had dad replace the counter tops in kitchen after we first moved in. Shower head in shower
may have been replaced. Gas leak from furnance was fixed. Gas company was called. Before we moved in - mom had dad have his plummer
move the shower head in the shower.
See an occassional
bug- once in a while.
Dad sometimes
traps mice in the basement using mice traps.
All of the above things that went wrong were at Pewaukee house.
In New Berlin home-
the sewage from the septic would overflow
in the laundry room,
mom didn't like all the bugs, and she went to her sister Lorraine's house for water because she didn't like the water at our house. I think she had an extermanator in for the bugs at least once.
Dad used to have a sign nailed on a tree in our New Berlin
home- "Built by-
with dad's business name and phone number."
When one of our houses was being sold- dad bought new light fixtures for our new house. Mom made dad put the new fixtures in the house that we were selling
and put the fixtures that were in our old house in our new house- because they were better fixtures.
I think our house was already sold or in the process of being sold when mom had dad do this.
My mom was no little angel. In addition to that light fixture thing- mom had dad
transplant a tree from the neighbor's yard
in New Berlin to our yard- may be a distence of about 20 feet or so. Mom also swips toilet paper from motel rooms,
keeps free deserts when the restaurant makes mistakes and
sees nothing wrong with not reporting income that the government knows nothing about.
I increased my weekly contribution to church- and mom made me reduce it! This is the same mom who quit going to church when she was younger.
And drink and smoke- along with dad.
And dad and mom argued with each other alot and yelled at one another.
I was no little angel either. I was listening to dad's confession while I was standing in line waiting to go to confession. Dad confessed the same mortal sins that I used to commit!
My mom at Jeff's birthday party for Mathew noticed how outgoing Jan's 3 kids were. Mom said that she liked that. At restaurant where they had lots of video games. At Jeff's house - mom asked Becky if Mathew had any friends at school. Becky said-
"Oh Yes."
Mom thinks she's an expert on these sort of things. But, mom couldn't solve my problems!
There was once a power failure at the Training Center that
lasted several hours,
as while as a bomb threat- that turned out to be a false alarm. Everyone had to leave the building while it was checked out.
A brat in a small town- threw water at a sheriff's deputy- while
riding on a fourth of July float in the parade. The deputy
tried to spray the brat with pepper spray- but
the brat was smart enough to turn around. But several other kids did get sprayed and they thought it was a game and squarted their water pistols at the deputy. This episode was featured as a joke on Jay Leno.
A brat driving down the road - turned right in front of me. I made a sharp right turn and honked my horn.
I was once naping at my desk when my boss walked in.
No problem- nothing happened.
A brat was walking up the down escalator
at a store until my mom got on. Then the brat turned around.
2 brats were fooling around with their dad at a bookstore.
Parents at Miller Park
would sit their kids on the Aaron and Yount stuates and take their kid's pictures.
A kid at a computer asked me how to log into the internet
and how to spell Nick.
A wonderful little brat
was making lots of copies from the internet to the printer.
What smart kids are out there.
Three brats were doing research at 3 different computers.
The brats were laughing and thrown
crumbled up papers at one another.
Had a lunch picnic at work. Company served brats, hamburgers, potato salid, baked beans, pickle, melons,
brownie and soda.
Served under a tent outside- with tables set up.
Company took employees to a ball game at Miller Park.
Had the same type of food as my picnic lunch at work. About 2100 employees showed up to eat lunch in the parking
lot and watch the ball game. I think the same people who catered the lunch at work also catered the ball game. Got a free
shirt when I signed up for the ball game.
Got a free cap at the game, free food and the ticket was free.
A brat was running up
and down the aisle- during most of the game. Someone threw
some paper at me-
during the game.
Ivan asked me if I was going to the game. I said yes.
Ivan couldn't go- because his girl friend
wanted Ivan to go to a wedding with her.
Ivan said- My girl friend owes me one-
for this.
I played chess with 2
smart little brats at the chess club- named
Andrew, and
Samuel. And another brat named Greg joined the club.
One of them even beat me. Now there are two little Samuels
at the club. And Tony
is another smart kid.
Andrew and Samuel's dad thanked me- for playing with his kids. The chess club president asked me how I did against these kids and signed these kids up to play
in the tournament.
I drew against one
of these brats and lost the other game.
While other chess players were watching and talking about the game. Some of these little kids are really
smart. Its nice that
all these little brats
are in the same section as me in the current tournament
and I get to play them all twice! Makes me
feel like a little kid again! And these little brats are really smart chess players. I got 2 draws and about 4 losses so far! You wouldn't think these little brats could be so smart.
Two chess players were talking during
the tournament and
another chess player
got mad- because he couldn't concentrate
on his game. There are brats even at the chess club.
This same chess player told me to keep quit also- because I was talking too loud.
I quess this makes me a brat also.
I once suggested some moves for some one- and someone got mad bacause your not supposed to do that when playing chess.
You see- I was a brat too.
I play Clue and a card
game named war- with mom and dad.
I sometimes play Yahtzee with my mom and dad.
A cop once pulled mom over for not having the plate
renewal sticker on her license plate. The cop
followed mom home-
and the cop stuck it on for her. Nice cop.
A cop once gave mom a ticket for going straight- when the sign said- right lane must turn right. I seen an article in the newspaper- that this sign was not legal- and mom didn't have to pay the fine.
Dad once got a ticket for drinking coffee while driving.
Dad once got a ticket for going straight in a turning lane and a
parking ticket in
Washington DC.
I am not a little angel either- I must have gotten at least 3 or 4
speeding tickets- sense I have been driving. And got one ticket- because I was at fault in one accident that I had.
3 or 4 other accidents- I was not at fault.
Dad once drove our family home- after having to much to drink. Dad was never caught through. This
was a long long time ago- at least 40 years
ago.
My brother Jeff once knocked over a neighbor's mail box with his car. I don't believe he was ever caught. My brother Jeff also got speeding tickets. One time dad's relative who was a sheriff's deputy- got Jeff off from getting a speeding ticket.
Mom once had an accident- where a motorcycle ran into her. I had 4 or 5 accidents- only one of which was my fault.
Some one ran into the back of dad's vehicle on the way home from some where. Fender bender- at the end of an exit ramp..
Mom used to hang her clothes outside on a clothes line to dry-
in all of our houses.
She now has a clothes line in the basement. Mostly uses the dryer to get clothes dry.
Had a dog named Nippy in Milwaukee home. Dog died and was creameted.
Got another dog named Whitty.
This dog died on my bed in Pewaukee home. Brother Jeff tried to save him- but wasn't able to. Buried in front yard of Pewaukee home.
Both dogs were toy fox terriors. Both were
purchased from the same family! Believe it or not- this family was still selling dogs
about 15 years after we got our first dog.
Nippy once ran away in Milwaukee home
and we had to go to the humane society
to see if anyone turned him in. We got the dog back.
We always had to take the dog to the kennel- when ever we took a trip. Dog was real glad to see us-
when we got back.
I think the kennel
was in West Allis near highway 100.
Nippy used to like to
dig holes in the back yard at our Milwaukee home. Dad used
to get mad and swat the dogs - if the dogs
did their duty inside the house. Dogs did let us know- when they had to go outside. They were
very good- about letting us know!!
Used to walk the dogs
on a leash or tie the dog up on a chain in the back yard. Dogs went crazy in a moving car. And if the dog wasn't on a leash
while outside- the dog
would just run away from home. Leave a door to the outside open- and the dog would just run off.
These dogs would bite- only if they were attacked- like someone hitting them.
My mom's sister Lorraine, had a big black dog named
Sponkey.
A neighbor in New Berlin had a big black
dog. The neighbor
let the dog run free-
all over the neighborhood- including our yard.
Dogs name was DeGalle. Dog would do his duty in our yard- including doing it on our evergreen trees.
At Pewaukee home- neighbor's dog sometimes barks at me- when I go get in my car. I leave my
car parked in the driveway. The neighbor sometimes yells at his dog to stop barking at me.
My parents park their cars in the garage.
Neighbor used to have invisable fence for dog. No longer has it- because dog is trained.
Jan's wife has  a mother named Gurtrude. Gurtrude
used to have 3 or 4 cats. Jan used to have a gerabol. Jan's kids
used to have a pet hampster. At least- I think it was a hampster. Gurtrude's
husband- who is now deceased- used to like
to eat out at Hardee's. His name
may have been Joe.
Gurtrude and Joe
used to live near Manitowoc on a farm.
Their kid got married
to my brother Jan.
Jan and his wife Marilee moved to Two Rivers and Manitowoc
and then moved to West Allis. Gurtrude then moved in with Jan and Marilee in West Allis-
when her husband died. Gurtrude now in a nursing home- near by Jan's house.
Gurtrude was born
in southern Illinois-
before moving to Wisconsin. Gurtrude
used to have a barn and a piano at her farm house near
Manitowoc. Another relative used to live with Gurtrude and Joe.
This relative also died. Used to like to shot videos with his video camera. Would always film our family and play it back on the TV- when ever
we came to visit Jan.
Jeff's wife's (Becky's)parents used to live in Milwaukee on the south side- on or near South 20th street.
I think Jeff met his wife at his job. At least- I think that is right. I went to Jeff's wedding at a chapel-
and to the reception.
Went to Jan's wedding too.
Mom used to break bread, bake cookies,
make cakes, cook Thanksgiving turkey and dinner, iron clothes, hang clothes outside to dry. Mom
still does some of these things. She just made some bread!
Zookeenee bread that is- from zookeenee that our neighbor gave mom. Neighbor also gave us green beans.
And she still makes Thanksgiving dinner-
once in a while.
Subdivisions that I lived in. Pebble Valley
in Waukesha, Woodhaven in New Berlin, and Rolling
Ridge in Pewaukee.
Rolling Ridge and Woodhaven were
heavely wooded.
Several neighbors
in Rolling Ridge
have inground pools,
decks, patios and patio furniture, playground equipment
and one even has a tree house with slide leading down from the tree house. Nice neighborhood- with lots of trees.
Farms in my life;
Visited and stayed at dad's friends house in Kansas- who lived on a chicken farm for
about a week. Slept in their house and seen
chickens- as while as corn fields. 
Farm next to mom's brother Earl's house
in Franklin. Played on farm- and went inside farm house and barns.
Played with Earl's kids, farmers kids and my brothers.
Jan's wife used to live on a farm near Manitowoc. Visited their family many times at their farm house. Seen inside of
barn.
Farm near house in Pebble Valley. A cow
once broke out and walked down our street.
Field trip in 1st or 2nd grade- visited a pumpkin farm.
My Wife & Kids-
Clare and her friends
were planning to attend a surprise
party. Dad found
out about it - and
snapped their picture
when they opened
the door- expecting
to be surprised.
They were caught.
Katie had Clare's
cell phone and their
parents found out
about the party- when
they read the message that Clare's friend left on Clare's
phone. They found Clare's cell phone in Kattie's clothes- in
Katies bedroom.
And Clare thought she
wouldn't get caught.
She was thinking-
"You can't catch me-
na, na, na, na, na."
On My Wife & Kids-
dad wanted the person who ate his lemon pie to confess.
Dad forced his kids to eat nothing but lemon pies - till somone confessed. No one did- and the kids refused to tattle on one another. The kids finally won when dad admitted defeat. All
the kids said they did it and Katie (after dad admitted he was defeated) told dad that Clare did it.
They then had a lemon pie fight- thrown pies at each other.
On My Wife & Kids-
Clare was coughing
and pretending to be
sick- so she get get out of going to school.
As soon as her dad left the room, Clare stopped coughing and rushed to her room-
so she could sneak
her boyfriend (Tony)
into her room. Dad was watching Clare
threw the windows from outsde. Dad then ordered Clare to unlock her bedroom door and told Clare that he did not want Clare lieing to him!
Dad found Tony and threw him out of the house. Later, mom gave Clare permission to see Tony. What a
brat- Clare was.
On My Wife and Kids-
Katie's brother traded
his jar of nickels for Katie's jar of dimes.
Katie also spit in her
brother's soda. Her brother doubled his money. Mom told
her brat to undo the trade, but he refused.
It turned out that Katie ended up with
a buffalo nickel worth
$200.00. Katie really
tricked her brother-
and her brother thought he tricked Katie. Katie also told her brother- that she spit in his soda.
What a bunch of brats- smart brats that is! Just my kind of kids!
My Wife & Kids- the kids were shooting spit balls at a restaurant. Mom kept
saying- "Stop that!"
but they kept on doing it. Dad pushed Katie in a pool of water on
purpose. No body at this restaurant could get along with each other.
A brat was fighting with another student on a school bus- while the bus camera was filming it.
I am really getting fed up with some of those religion shows on tv.
On one they were singing about burning in unquensibile fire.-
as if it was God's will that they burn in hell!
They don't do that at my church! The Good Lord came into the world to save sinners
and not to pounce on sinners and send them to hell! I am getting fed up with these fanatics who think they know it all- as of they  themselves are God.
May be- that's one of the reasons my youngest brother quit going to church!
At one point I wanted to quit college- but
mom talked me into staying. And bought me a tape recorder
for a class that I needed it for. I finally got my way- and dropped out of college- later on after mom finally agreed with me. Just like Jeff- who finally convenced mom that he didn't need to go to church anymore!
Two wonferful smart little brats- Me and my brat brother Jeff.
Who could convence their mom of anything! After I got
out of the hospital- I could have went back to school- but talked my mom out of it- just like Jeff talked mom out of having to go to church! Two wonderful smart little brats! Yes, I was in the hospital for a problem that I had-
but, I certainly could have gone back to school after I got out-
but I didn't want to!
Several brats were fooling around at the library check out line.
A brat was fooling
around at McDonalds.
A mom told her brat to behave- or were going to go home-
at the library.
Seen 2 brats in a farmer's field stealing corn. The boy was picking the cobs, and
the girl was holding the bag. You don't see that to often!
Mom got mad at me because I sat down in
the back of a book store- when mom wanted me to wait for her at the front of the store.
My mom once got mad at dad and called the cops to kick dad out.
Mom said- "I don't have to put up with this ****."
Cops wern't able to do
anything- so dad was
able to stay.
If mom had known how much I was lieing to her and being so sneaky- mom probably
would have had me thrown out. But, I was
so smart- to always be able to fool mom-
and mom thought I
was such a little angel. One goody goody- who was really nothing but a vicious little brat! I was no better then my brother- Jeff.
I let the door from our garage slam into mom after I went through.
Mom said to me-
"You better learn to hold doors for other people."
Mom told me to wait for her by the grocery store door so she could pick me up by the door because it was raining. Instead of waiting - I walked out to the car in the parking lot and mom got mad. Mom's little brat- just can't listen to mom!
I fooled the libarian
by using my mom's
and my own library card to stay on the computers longer then I was supposed to.
You can't catch me.
Na, na, na, na , na.
Mom told me to remind dad to get a receipt at the restaurant. I never did! Na, na, na, na , na.
Mom asked me- "What took you so long? (at
the dentist) I yelled at mom and mom
came up to me and said- "I don't want you talking to me like that!" And then she hit me. Was I ever a brat!
Several times I have yelled at my mom-
when my mom accused me of something. Mom always yells back- "I
don't want you yelling at me like that." Sometimes
mom would slap me.
I once bought home some vanilla folders
from work- and mom
accused me of stealing them! Some
parents just don't trust their kids!
One of mom's relatives used to work
and bring samples home from work- like
dishwasher soap.
I use the copy machine and computer at work all the time for personal projects-
and take the papers home with me. I guess that makes me a brat- just like everyone else.
Me and Jeff were real sneaky and smart!
When mom was in church- Jeff and his girl friend came to mom's house to sneak some of Jeff's things out of the house.
Mom caught Jeff and she was mad. Jeff was
sleeping with his girl friend and mom didn't approve of that.
I too was real sneaky.
I parked my car at a park and ride lot and
waited for mom to go by in her car- on the way to church. I then sneak my baseball cards in the house-
that I was paying about $200.00 a week- when I told mom that I was paying about $10.00
every couple of months. I then rushed over to church to meet mom and to lie to her about what I was doing all day. Yes- I lied to my mom - right in church! And I did this sneaky thing for about 2 years or so-
spending about $200.00 or so- every week! And mom thought I was such a little angel. I lied to my mom and never confessed it in church!
And several times- when I wanted to find out if mom left for church or not- I stopped at a store
and called mom on a pay phone. If mom didn't answer the phone- that meant that she wasn't home
and I could sneak my cards into the house
and rush over to church to meet mom!
Several times- mom
answered the phone and said "Hello".
In those cases I just hung up. I then waited awhile and when I was convenced
that she left for church- I would then rush home and then
rush over to church
to meet mom and to lie to her! Was I ever a brat! And mom thought I was such a little angel- sitting next to her- and talking to her in church! I was so good at fooling my mom!-
Even in church!
Just like Jeff who used to fool mom and pretend to eat his supper and then be sneaky and throw
it down the garbage disposal! What smart kids- Me and Jeff were! Two real smart little brats!
Jeff told mom- "Tell
J. to behave too.
He's not a little angel you know!" Jeff was so
right. I was not a little angel.
Mom told someone-
"I have a little know it all for a kid" (Jeff)
Someone- "You have
one of those too. So
do I"
Mom- "Better watch Jeff, so he doesn't burn the house down."
Me- "Better watch Jeff- so he doesn't tare up your home
work- or else you
will have to do it-
all over again"
Jeff did tare up some of my stuff- at least
once or twice! What
a little devil!
What a wonderful little brat- Jeff was!
Na, na, na, na, na!
Mom can't catch me!
I am so smart!
I committed mortal sins and mom never caught me. I was so smart! Vicious little brat- who was so sneaky! Mom didn't catch me! Na, na, na, na, na!
I lied to my mom
all the time- and did
what she told me not to! Was I ever a little devil! You can't catch me! Na, Na, Na, Na, Na! Lots of fun!
Me and Jeff were
so smart! Na, na, na,
na, na. So good at fooling mom! But, mom knew that Jeff was a brat- even through mom never caught Jeff being naughty most of the time! Na, na, na, na na!

The plane made a stop in Detroit.
Mom and Dad took dad's mother to Lake Forest Illinois so dad's mother could visit her friend.
When we lived on 55th st in Milwaukee-
a farmer who lived on 55th st was selling
off lots from his property and planting corn on the rest of the property. We used to walk to and from church- and sometimes buy corn from his stand on 55th st. I think the farmer had only 1 or 2 lots left to sell before his farm would be all sold off- when we still lived there in the early 60's. Of course- the farm is now completely sold off and gone. Farm was about 2 blocks from our house.
Also, bought corn from a farmer's stand on N. 76th st. and a farmers stand on Northview rd. in Pewaukee. Bought other things- like tomatoes also at these stands.

Lyndee from Training Center used to live in West Allis. Lyle from work used to live in Dousman. Lyle used to go to a tavern in Dousman and play in pool tournaments.
Lyle had no kids- because he said he wasn't prepared to handle little brats.
An employee wanted to do a job her way-
and Lyle wouldn't let her.
My supervisor would give Lyle a bad time about everything that Lyle did. Lyle was doing nothing wrong. Finally Lyle went on medical leave and my supervisor got stuck doing Lyle's job. That
supervisor soon learned to respect Lyle- and Lyle never had this problem again.
When I first got this job- I used to play chess with another employee during breaks.
A girl that used to sit next to us in church used to live in Dousman.

At the university - hundreds of brats were in the student union food court-
for a tap dance contest. Had a hard time finding a place so I could eat my lunch.
I got home 15 minutes late and mom was worried about me. I got home an hour later then I usually do from playing chess- and mom was ready to go get the car and look for me. Was I ever a brat!
When mom sees kids that are good- she tells the parents-"What good kids
you have!" Mom likes kids who are good.
I tricked mom into going to our church at the mass I wanted to go- instead of the church and mass that mom wanted to go. So good at fooling mom!
A brat was fooling around during mass and standing on the kneelers when the kneelers were up.
My Wife and Kids- dad tells Katie "Your being a smart alick." Clare
charged hundreds of dollars on her dad's charge card on Hawaii trip! What a bunch of brats!
A brat finds Katie's
doll on the beach and keeps it. Katie's dad
tries to get it back-
and the brat says "Haven't you ever heard of finders keepers?" Dad then offered to pay $5 dollars- and the brat said- "If your willing to pay $5 then you must be willing to pay more." Dad then offered $100, and then $500. Finally dad just grabed the doll and ran. The brat ran after dad saying- "This guy just stole my doll!" Dad lost the litttle brat and got back to his family at the hotel. The family then got ready to leave Hawaii and go home. That little brat thought she was real smart- but she ended
up with no money and lost her doll to Katie's dad- who rescued it for Katie.
 
A mom and her 4 or 5 brats were rushing to the library check out- when the library was closing. Running and making noise.

In Milwaukee mom used to drive me to Carleton school, and I walked to Hampton School. Took school bus to Holy Apostles and New Berlin High.
Used to drive mom's car to UW-Waukesha when mom didn't need her car- otherwise mom drove me. At
UW-Milwaukee mom drove me to the bus stop and I took the bus. Mom drove my brat brother to grade school because Jeff refused to take the bus! Jeff didn't drive himself to school till he went to college and got his own car!
What a spoiled brat- to make his mom drive him to school every day- sense kingarteen! Schools-
where mom drove Jeff to school and picked him up everyday- Hickory Grove, Holy Apostles, St. William, Waukesha North High.
When mom didn't need her car- Jeff sometimes borrowed mom's car to go to Waukesha North High- after Jeff got his license to drive. Otherwise mom drove him - when mom needed her car.

Played chess with him every week- and mom was paying him!
Dad drove me to his office and picked me up once a week-
every week for a long time. Dad drove me- all the way from Waukesha to the northwest side of Milwaukee to see Bob once a week for a couple of years.
I think dad went to a shopping mall and then came back to pick me up. Mom thought that I was talking about my problems- but I was playing chess!
I just wouldn't talk to the psychologist about my problem!
Vicious little brat!
As bad as Jeff- when dad drove him every week to religion class and picked him up- but he never went to class- but played on the playground!
Two wonderful little brats- me and Jeff!
Seen a psycharist
at the hospital in 1974 and another one at my high school once a week for one hour. Psycharist

and seen Larson at high school. All the while I was seeing
these psycharists- I never did talk about my problems. At 5SW-
I played lots of pool
with the other people- but I made little or no attempt to get the doctors to solve my problem. I also played cards. I really enjoyed myself at 5sw- and it cost mom and dad thousands of dollars to send me there!
I also enjoyed going bowling and playing miniature golf. Had lots of fun- at my parents expense!
I didn't even make any attempt to talk to the doctor about my problem! Was I ever a brat- to take advantage of my parents this way! Had lots of fun! Didn't even want to leave the place- but they had a 3 month rule- so I was forced to leave. Then I went to see Bob and instead of talking about my problems- I did nothing but play chess with him! And it cost my parents hundards of dollars more! Was I ever a brat! And mom thought I was talking about my problems! What a little devil I was!

Two 4 year old brats
were chasing each other around the library with their shirts sticking out. Just like me and Jeff used to do- running around our house.
At the library a brat
said to his friends- I am only 7, so what!-
I am going to put someones head in the toilet. I had to go to the principals office-
because I cused a teacher out. His friend told him- "Your stupid!" This brat ran away- when the libarian came over- and the libarian ran after him and bought him back. These kids then left the library.
Every once in a whole- I see paper airplanes on the floor at the library. I also see the brats throw them
and hit one another as while as talking out loud! You aren't supposed to do those things at the library.
Someone at the library was playing a game on the computer- when he wasn't supposed to.
Vicious little brats!
At work some employees would rush out of work and speed in the parking lots and not stop for stop signs. The company is trying to put a stop to that. There are brats- even at my work place.
At work Tom asked me how long I have been working at the company. I told him 30 years and I got a watch for that.
Tom asked me if that was the watch I was wearing- And I told him "no"- I was wearing a cheap watch.
Another employee got a telescope for working 30 years.
Back in 1985 or so-
the employee who got a telescope- had to lay out everyone's desks in a small area in the cafeteria- while new carpeting was installed in the office. No one seemed to like who they were sitting next to.
We were having a special luncheon for this employee who got the telescope.
 
-------------------------

Decrek- customer of dad's.

Lights Unlimited-
dad bought our light
fixtures for our New
Berlin home. Was on Capital drive- near 100th st.
Tippecanoe Linimum-
south side- dad did business here.
At New Berlin High-
I got in trouble because the principal
didn't have a record of
me being in the library- instead of study hall. Maybe I forgot to get a hall
pass from my study hall teacher. I almost
got in trouble- but I
was able to convence the Libarian that I was indeed at the library- and not skipping out of study hall- in the Little Theater.
A chess club member asked me how long I was a member. I told him- sense about 1973 or so. He asked me if I knew Jack R.-
and I said yes. Jack
was the president of the club- at that time.
At work I was being
naughty and recording the wrong info onto the sheets. Lyle caught me being a brat! Vicious little brat!
If mom would have found out some of the
things that I did- she
would have screamed
at me! Was I ever a
brat!
I confessed a sexual
sin in confession and
the priest wanted
to know if there was
another girl involved.
I committed this same sexual sin- many many times!
One time when I told a priest in confession
that I committed
this sin 14 times- the
priest did not want to forgive me- because I
wasn't being very serious! And I even went to communion
in mortal sin- and
didn't even confess
all my sins in confession! If a nun
that I had in school
would have known this- she would have
thought that that was
terrible! And if my
mom had known what
a brat I was- she
would have taken
me out to the wood shed- and let me have
it. Lucky- we didn't have a wood shed
and that mom never found out!
Mom thought I was
such a little angel.
The one time she caught me lieing to her- she was screaming at me-
but, I just made up another story to fool
her again. I was so smart!
And a psychiatrist that I was seeing-
told me that these
sexual sins where
not sins at all- and told me to get over
these guilt complexes!
And my brat brother Jeff- was naughty all
the time and had no guilt complexes at all.
Jeff told mom that he didn't need to go
to church- because he didn't need a crutch
(Like God) that other
people needed and Jeff slept with his girl
friend before marrying
her, and talked back
to mom and defeyed
mom all the time!
Jeff didn't care!
What brats me and Jeff were! I lied to mom all the time- and
was very sneaky- getting away with all
sorts of stuff! And I didn't even confess
all my sins in confession and
Jeff quit going to
church and confession!
What brats- me and Jeff were!
I am sure glad that I
no longer have guilt
complexes any more!
I not only didn't confess most of my sins- I often wasn't
sorry for the ones I did confess! That priest that didn't want to give me absolution- may have been a lot smarter then I was willing to give him credit for! Was I ever a little devil!
Even going to communion in mortal sin!
No guilt complexes anymore!
I just don't care anymore! A brat- just
like Jeff! I actually
enjoyed it when mom
was screaming at me-
and I enjoyed it when Lyndee was screaming
when I wouldn't obey her! No guilt feelings
anymore! Am I ever
a brat! I actually enjoyed getting away with stuff- lieing and fooling mom all the time! It's so much fun!
Jeff always told mom
that he was sure glad
that he was not a goody goody! and I
am so glad that I am not a goody goody!
It's so much fun being
naughty! Lots and
lots of fun!
So much fun- being naughty and chasing
Jeff around the house
while Jeff was running
over mom'e living room furniture,
butting into mom's
conversations with dad, talking back to mom, stealing cookies
and candy from mom
and defying mom all the time! What brats-
me and Jeff were! Vicious little brats!!
Little know it alls-
who were so smart-
that they were able to fool mom about anything!
 
-------------------------
Mom told me- "You
are such a good kid!"
Yell, right! So good at fooling mom! I have fooled mom hundreds of times! I think it's so funny! I am so smart! I could just burst out laughing!
As smart as my brat brother Jeff! I am so good at fooling mom! She thinks I am such a little angel!
I was such a little brat! I lied to mom all the time and did everything she told me not to do! -
like eating extra food,
opening up another safety deposit box after she told me to close one, sneaking thousands of dollars of baseball cards into the house and lieing to mom about how much I was spending,
Lieing to mom about where I was going each day! Being naughty with Jeff and encouraging Jeff to be naughty, committing sexual sins, Not confessing all my sins in confession, not being sorry for all my sins, even lieing in confession, going to communion in sin.
Having no guilt feelings about anything! Vicious little brat! And mom thought I was such a little angel! So good at fooling mom! Was I ever a brat! I could just burst out laughing! It's so funny!!
Mom caught me lieing to her- and was screaming at me- as if the world just came to an end! I just made up another story to fool her again! I was so smart! Vicious little brat!
 
--------------------------
Jeff used to drink at one time. He no longer does. Jeff tried smoking once- he didn't like it. One time when Jeff had to much to drink- Jeff ran over a neighbor's mailbox with his car. Jeff used to get speeding tickets at one time!
Jeff's wife- Becky and Chris at my work place- could pass as being twins. They even have the same personality- outgoing and like to talk. They even act the same!
Both have families and are about the same age! They even look like twins! It's incredible! Chris even talks to me- and treats me the same as Becky does! Chris said to me- you sure got a terrible cold. Another day- Chris gave me more work to do.
I complained to her-
and Chris said to me-
"And you don't even feel good. I feel sorry for you."
That's the same way Becky treats me!
As I said- these two could pass as twins- in both appearance and personality!
Lyle at work once lost 2 to 3 hours of computer work- that Lyle didn't save! Lyle had to redo it all!
2 brats were playing with the fountain drink despenser at Culver's restaurant.
4 or 5 brats were kicked out of the library- because they were talking too much. A mom told  her little brat- Don't you dare run out in the parking lot- or your going to go to your room.
A 4 year old brat got
out of her pew in church and her mother
went running after her down the center aisle of the church. Everyone in church was laughing!
I stayed for 3 hours on the computer and the libarian didn't say anything. The limit is 2 hours per day. The next day- I was doing the same thing and the libarian came up to me and wanted to know if I was on the computer too long.
I lied to her and told her "No". I told her that I didn't remember what time I loged on!
What a good little lier I was! I sure fooled her! So much fun!
Just, like when I lie and fool my mother!
What a good little lier I am! It's so much fun! I can fool anybody! I even lied in confession! And didn't even confess all my sins , nor was I sorry! Even went to communion in serious sin! Was I ever a brat!
And mom thought I was such a little angel- sitting so nice to her in church!
I sure knew how to fool mom and everyone else!
Even when mom caught me lieing to her- I just made up another story to fool her again! I was so good at this!
Mom keeps telling me what a good kid I am- everytime I leave the house!
Boy, am I good at fooling mom!
Of course mom thinks that Jeff is a good kid too and Jeff slept his girlfriend and quit going to church!
Mom thinks all of her kids are good kids!

Mom's kid friend- Josi wet her paints in church. Josi and her parents had to wipe it up and leave early.
When I was a little Kid- I used to wet the bed. Made extra work for mom- who had to wash all this stuff.

mom would dance the
polka with Johnny- while dad played pool. Dad wasn't a good dancer.
Jeff went to Hickory Grove school in kingerteen, and 1st to 5th grade at Holy Apostles. 6th to 8th
grade at St Williams.
Most of Jeff's friends that went to Hickory Grove school also transfered to Holy Apostles- so Jeff got to keep all his brat friends. Jeff and his brat friends used to be naughty on purpose- so the teacher would yell and scream at them.
I believe Jeff and his friends even got a teacher fired- because the teacher couldn't control the class.
Mom was a playground monitor when Jeff went to Holy Apostles- Grades 1 to 5. Mom had to deal with these brats on the playground during lunch.
At St Williams dad did carpentry work in the church, the school and the rectory.
When mom went to school- if you turned around in church- the nun would make the kid sit in the back of the church.
Had a talk with my dad's cousin- Charlie who at one time was a sheriff's deputy.

as while as talking and laughing.
One of them who wasn't being naughty apologized to a library patron for the disturbence.
Was I ever a brat.
I would never fast on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday- and only confessed it in confession once.
I am a little know it all- just like my brat brother Jeff. I think I know it all- and no one can tell me anything!
My mom caught me lieing to her and was screaming at the top of her lungs! I was so smart- that I just made up another story to fool her again.
And I lied to my mother hundreds of times- and never confessed any of it in confession!
And just about every day- my mom would tell me what a good kid I am!
I was so smart- to fool mom into thinking that I was a good kid!
And I never confessed most of my sins in confession, and wasn't sorry for many of them! Was I ever a brat!  A smart little know it all brat!
I know it all! Little know it all- who made Lyndee scream at me- when I wouldn't listen to her! And I fooled mom all the time! Was I ever a brat!
