I decided to try another tactic for getting one of those bottles of soda. It’s called, ‘open-the-glass-door-and-pull.’ Since the shape of the bottles were different, maybe I might get lucky. I began trying every flavor, starting with the number one choice, orange soda. I yanked…nope. I tried coco cola…nope. Next, was grape soda…nope.
Joey began to whine. “Let me try.”
I closed my eyes for a moment and imagined him pulling the bottle out.
He pulled and out it came. It happened to be a root beer.
“Do it again,” I said urging him on.
He managed to pull the last one. I was going to have him try another flavor, but stopped when a customer at the gas pump began walking towards us.
Joey and I looked at each other. We knew what we had to do. RUN LIKE THE WIND!
Another true story from the book, “Two Blocks from Slab Town,” is published here.
