MORE ADVENTURES OF THE KATZENJAMMER KIDS....MOE & NANCY
For a short time, our family lived in a house in the Belevedere section. It was called Park Drive, and near the Oak Street bus line. Again, Nancy and I were in the back yard playing. It must have been a weekend, because we were not in school. I was probably 7 and Nancy was 5. As we ran around the back yard, we spotted a gun on the ground. We picked it up and took turns playing cowboys and Indians, aiming and shooting at each other.
We went in the house for lunch and gave the gun to our mother. She was washing dishes, but stopped
for a minute and aimed the gun at the ceiling. It fired a bullet into the ceiling. She panicked and ran next door to our neighbor who threw the gun into the furnace to destroy our fingerprints. That was a mistake. We later learned that the Oak Street bus had been robbed, and the robber disposed of the gun in our yard. My mother realized that , again, we were lucky to be alive. Our previous escapade, the trip to the park had been published in the New Britain Herald. This incident made it into the Herald, also. One of our neighbors was reported to have said, "The Lynches are at it again."
All I can think of of now is that we were our generation's terrible twosome.. Our own two boys,Bob and Michael have carried on the tradition. I'm hoping this doesn't carry on to the next generation. So far, so good!

You're not just makin' this stuff up for your writing class are you Moe? Wow, you're lucky. I can see Gram and the neighbor coming up with a scheme to destroy the evidence.
Remember the time I threw a steal knife and stuck it in Mike's forehead? I must have got some of your wild genes. My kids have lived a sheltered life compared to me.
