Two Blocks from Slab TownBall on the Roof Part Twoby Joey Boon 

I said to him," Come on, man!… did you really throw that ball?"
He said with "jet-black" eyes ( he must’a got those from Mom)," Yeah!…as a matter of fact, I did!"
We just sat there on the back porch and pondered for a moment. Kyle finally looked over at me and said," You know what, Joey? Dad always talked to us about other planets and aliens out there in space. He’s mentioned worm holes and an alternate universe. I wonder if he might’a been right (all this time)?"
He added," Now, somebody got that ball! I don’t know if maybe the upper air currents carried it away, or somebody saw just how much fun "ball on the roof" is…but, there’s some explainin’ to be done, here".
Well, even today, "ball on the roof" stands out as one of my and Kyle’s best games, ever. He might’a been right about an alien seein’ that game and thinking’," Hey man!…We could sure use that on our planet!" Who knows?
The world is a wonderful thing, though. And, by sharing things with our neighbors, you never know what kind’a joy it’ll bring, ‘till you try it. So, I say to you," Share the wealth……and just be glad ya got it to share!"
More to come this summer...
