Mom Comes Through
By now, Doug from 7th grade biology class should be 22 years old, right? He was the only 12-year-old in our grade with a mustache, remember? He insisted he was 12 just like the rest of us. But why did his dad let him drive the car? "That kid's gotta be at least 16," I told you all. "He must have failed, like, 3 grades, at least." But no one listened to me. Well, just today my mom sent me a clipping from the Buckeystown Daily Reporter, and what does it say? "North Buckeystown resident Doug Finkle was fatally injured last night in an alcohol-related hunting accident. He was 26 years old." Vindicated.
