Have 5 computer

chess games.

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.

This brother of mom's

This brother of mom's

brother played huckey- and the nun thought mom knew

something about it-

when mom knew nothing!

Used to play with their kids- when I was a kid.

A brother of dad's who

used to live in Greenfield Wisconsin and Arizona is deceased. Their kids are still alive and I played with their kids when I was a kid.

Mom

has a sister who used

to live in several states- and once owned mansions in both Florida and Michigan at the same

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.

Were considered rich.

Another sister of mom's who used to

live in West Allis is still alive- I believe she is in a nursing home. The husband

of this sister of mom's

was a mail man and is

now deceased. This family had 2 kids-

a girl and a boy. The

relative (an uncle-

I think) who used to be a Milwaukee

I addition to my picture being in its

regular place in my

high school yearbook-

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

microwave oven-

ended up ruining it-

and had to throw it

out! Too bad!

More movies that

I watched- Farenheight 451,

Anadromedia Strain,

Battle of the Budge,

Ten Little Indians,

Day the Earth Stood Still, etc.

My favorate restaurant

is Culver's. Mom's

Dave, Danny (Franklin, Wi);

Jerry, Mary Beth, Billy,

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.

From the university

in Waukesha to a

gas station and back to the university-

about 2 miles.

Hikes- City of Waukesha- area

around library and

a park- maybe 2 miles.

Hikes in our subdivision- Pewaukee

home- about 2 miles

round trip.

Hike from county fair

to Waukesha home-

1 mile one way- 2 miles both ways.

Hikes in parks- such

as Grant park in South

Milwaukee and Frame

Park in Waukesha-

about 2 miles each.

State park- just south of Sheboygan- 2 to

4 miles.

Add about 2 miles of walking in

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.

Pennsylvania- Jammy.

Franklin, Wi- Dave.

Muskego- Danny.

West Allis- Eileen,

David.

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-

Milwaukee, S. 149th

Mom has a picture

of the Pope in a frame- hanging on the

wall in her bedroom.

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.

I think Bruce did that.

I used to play pool with Bruce and Bruce

told me- "You can shot at the 8 ball"

Played a card game called Down to One-

similar to Uno and kept score. Some clients played Monopoly on the floor

in the visitor lounge.

Dave used to talk to

staff after bedtime.

Ages of some people-

John Boy- 8, Karen

and Patti- 12 or 13,

Joanne- 16 or 17,

Me- 23, Bruce- 12 or 13.

I wrote down all the

clients names and room numbers- and a

staff member asked me why I was doing that.

Police once came on the unit to arrest some one. I think

it was for drugs.

At community meetings- everyone

would vote on whether clients should

be restricted for breaking rules.

Staff would sometimes take clients for walks outside.

Intercom in rec room

ro contact staff if

necessary.

Smoke alarm once went off in small

kitchen next to rec. room.

Clients selected their

own food from daily

menus. Hot dogs

were always on menus- and other dishes were changed

daily.

I played pool with Bruce, Tracy, and

anyone who wanted to play.

Played "Down to One"

with an older women

who taught me the game and several other clients. At night

when mom and dad

came - also included

mom and dad in the

card game. Kept score.

Also played pool with dad and others when

dad came to visit.

Karen and Patti carved

their names in a table

near the telephones.

I left my name in the

Bible in my room-

with a note that this

bible does not belong

to me- and signed

my name. This note was left inside the

Bible.

Unit was on 5th floor

with an elevator

for access.

My name plate wrist

band came off- and a

staff member thought

I took it off on purpose.

Bedtime was 10:30 pm.

I had off unit alone

privilages- meaning

I could leave the unit

with out a staff member.

Community meetings

in upper lounge.

Small TV in visitor

lounge.

Clients and staff went

to picnic at Minooka

Park.

Karen, Patti and Joanne used to knock

a back door open

and sneak out- when

they wern't supposed

to.

After several room changes- I ended

up with John Boy-

in the room closest

to the rec. room.

I believe Tracy was

in the room next to mine. Joanne's

room was on the other

side of the building-

further down the long

hall. There were 2 long halls with rooms.

Went to mass in basement on Sundays.

Stella used to see to it that the coffee pot

in the visitor lounge

had plenty of coffee

available.

John Boy used to live

in Brookfield and was

on unit because

ofr stealing problem.

John Boy was about

8 years old- and i requested that he be

my roommate.

The brats- Karen and

Patti used to chase

each other around- and would sometimes

goof up pool games

on the pool table- when other clients were playing.

Went bowling with staff and clients

to Sunset Bowl and

played miniature golf

at a place on Capital Drive.

I got restricted once

for coming late to a meeting.

Staff told a client-

"Your being naughty

just to get attention."

Client- "No. I'm not!"

Someone once rolled

a billiard ball downm the long hallway.

Karen and Patti were sisters- who said to one another- "I bet

were always going to get restricted." Used

to chase each other

around.

Someone once took

a pool cue- and I had

to go to that person's

room to try and get it

back.

Clients worked on arts

and crafts in the rec.

roon- which also served as the Lunch

room.

Went bowling with

Bruce and Tracy to Sunset Bowl.

Bowed a 121 game,

and went to play

miniature golf on Capital drive.

Srereo. turntable,

drums in upper lounge.

Joanne told my mom

off at a meeting and

told mom she was

treating me as a baby- because mom washed my hair.

Karen and Patti may

have had a food fight

in the lunch/rec. room.

Someone wanted Frank to take them for

a walk outside and
Frank said- "Nobody

tells me whatr to do."

And then Frank took

the walk.

I thought John Boy

stole my radio- but,

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

went to the Plaza

theater with mom when mom was a kid.

Angella sat down in what she thought was a seat- but it was really the floor. Angella didn't know

that you had to put the seat down- before sitting down. Mom used to get to the theater early so she could get a good seat and watch 3 Stooges clips before the movie started.

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!

 

Hugo, Maralee, Gertrude, Joe were a family that lived near Manitowoc. My brother Jan married Marilee.

Hugo liked to take pictures with his video camera of their family and our family- and play them back for us while we were there.

Joe and Hugo are both dead and Gertrude is in a nursing home.

I was 9 months old when me and mom took a plane ride from Milwaukee to New York to visit mom's sister in New York.

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.

Mom's aunt Ann,

uncle Eagnod, and uncle Fleece lived on College Av. Mom's aunt Torre lived on Grange Ave. Mom used to hike through the farmers field- to

go from her Aunt Torre's house to her Uncle  Fleeces house-

one mile away.

Dad's uncle Charlie was a Milwaukee county sheriff deputy.

Dad's brother Tom lives in Franklin Wis, during the summer

and in Arizona during the winter.

Dad's mom was buried from St. Alphonsus Church on Loomis rd

north of College ave.

She used to go to this church- when she lived in this area.

Dad's friend Johnny

used yo live on Grange Ave. Johnny used to run a tavern that mom and dad went to. Mom used to dance the Polka.

All of these relatives and friends are deceased- except for dad's brother Tom.

Dad once did some work on a house on Lake drive in Cudahy - South Milwaukee area.

When we had a dog- we used to take the dogs to a kennel on Oklahoma ave- west of hwy 100 in West Allis when we went on trips. Nippy was creameted at this kennel.

Mother of Perpetual Help Church used to issue booklets with all the members contributions to the church. My name was in this book to- when I was 13 years old and younger.

My picture and my mom and dad's picture are in the last 3 parish directories from St William Church.

Both neighbors filed lawsuits against one

another.

1st and 2nd neighbors have parties at their houses- and invite lots of people over.

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.

Mom went to dad's doctor and the doctor asked mom if she had an abortion. Mom said she was a Catholic and said no. Mom didn't like this at all.

She never went back to this doctor.

Training center- clients worked from 8:00 to 3:30.

Staff from 7:30 to 4:00.

Mom used to drive me and pick me up.

Present job work from 7:30 to 4:00.

Training Center- Lyndees work unit was #5. Unit at hospital were I was a patient was 5 south west.

Training center last 3 digits of address is the same as the last 3 digits of address where I work now.

I got some brown sugar from the donuts that I was eating on the floor. I rubbed the sugar into the floor with my shoe. Vicious little brat. If mom would have caught me- she would have swat me.

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.

A student named Dennis lived right next to my high school.

Got my first car in May 1977. Mom used to drive me to the Training center and to my present job- till I got my car. Dad used to drive me to play chess- till I got my car.

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.

Seen a psychologist from 1974 to about 1976 on Fond du lac ave in Milwaukee.

Psychologist was named Bob.

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

at hospital was Logan

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!

Just my kind of kid!-who slept with his girl friend before marrying her. No Catholic Church would marry Jeff and his wife- so Jeff got married in a chapel! What wonderful little brats!- Jeff and his wife were!

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.

 

-------------------------

Ed S.- friend of dad's.

Decrek- customer of dad's.

Lowell- dad built a house on Lake Buiheh

for.

Norm and Bernice owned a lot with a small lake and storage shed on it.

Shaffer cabinet shop-

on N. 91st st- dad did business here. South of Brown Deer rd.

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.

Chris at work said- If

When my brother Jeff lived at home- there were 4 brand new vehicles at our

4 or 5 little brats were with their parents at a Culver's restaurant.

Dad told Micheal- "Get over here!"

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.

Charlie went to UW-Waukesha at the same time that I did.

Charlie had a hard time finding this school- because he lived on the other side of town. Told Charlie that Jan worked at Manitowoc and Waukesha newspapers and that Jeff lived in East Troy.

A brat was leaning over the divider and looking at me at Culver's restaurant. Her dad was there with her.

Two brats were opening and closing the automatic doors at a library.

5 or 6 brats were fooling around in the youth room at the library. They were also fooling around the computers in the youth room and climbing and running around the furniture

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!
