Jane and MaryAnn ganged up on me. They followed close behind me home from school and yelled mean things. Of course I did’nt tell anyone because that would be giving in. But when MaryAnn grabbed my trading cards, I squealed.
My mother told MaryAnn’s mother who insisted on bringing her daughter over to apologize. Oh, no….. All I wanted was to be let back in.
I still pay too much attention to where I stand.
P.S MaryAnn was the daughter of Harry Heilmann, the announcer for the Tigers. I didn’t blame him, and continued my love of baseball.
A footnote, Joan. Harry Heilmann was a Hall of Fame baseball player before he was a broadcaster. His lifetime batting average was .342.
ReplyDeletePrior to HS I moved every couple of years, so had to learn to take the initiative on making new friends. Perhaps that’s one of the reasons I so cherish my adulthood long term friendships like ours!!!💞
