CHAPTER III

One day I met Tommy. He was a friend of one of my brothers. He used to go out with a girl my brother went out with. She introduced us. Because of Tommy I began to do things I never thought I could do.

On our first date we went to a drive-in with my brother, Richard, and his girlfriend, but I'll never forget our real first date. We were driving along talking and he went through a red light. Then we went to a restaurant and he spilled water over himself.

Another day not long after this, we went for a drive in the country and we stopped at the side of the road where they were selling apples, and on the way back the apples fell out of the bag and spilled allover the back of the car. We had a good laugh about that. Another time we went with another couple to a park. Tommy started to pull the car rug off the seat of the car and tore it badly. We had to have our lunch on a park bench.
