My uncle was exactly one inch taller than my
father, but his stomach was soft. We knew this because we hit him in it
and he yelped in pain and threatened to spank us. We were sent to bed
without supper because our parents said hitting was the worst thing you
could do. Stealing was the second, lying was the third. Before I was
twelve, I would have commited all three of these crimes.
