10-17-08...CANT BELIEVE WE WENT THERE
When Brenda's older Sister started driving she sometimes would take us places that we could not go by ourselves. That is when we started seeing how other people did things that we were never allowed to do and indeed did not even understand. She knew better than to do anything wrong because she knew that we both had motor mouthes and the first thing we would do was spill the beans. She didn't want us with her anyway but my Auntie would say, Either you take them or you don't go. And of course she was threatened to within an inch of her life if she didn't watch us. She had a boyfriend and wanted to see him but my Auntie didn't like him and said no. She took us to the Little Big town of Altus one night with the intention of dumping us at "Teen Town" and going off with her boy friend. Well we were good babysitters for her and watched her close but she was there one minute and gone the next.Clydene we better go find her or we will all get in trouble. We are supposed to stay close to her. Brenda she probably got in (i'll call him Terry) Terries car but I know what it looks like, Lets go outside and look.We walked up and down the street which was only about one block with stores on only one side of the road. We didn't see the car or her so we walked across the road to the Park where some couples were sitting on the picnic tables smooching. "OMG" Did you see what they were doing. My sister sure better not be doing that. Well they were not in the park but I saw the car, I thought. It was parked on over across the highway in front of a place called (I'll call it BUBBA JOHNS). Brenda look where they are. Well I'll tell you right now, she is gonna' get in trouble. Just wait till we tell. Yep, just you wait till we tell.Boy we went prancing across the park to the Highway, crossed the highway,( which we were not supposed to do) and went right on up to the door. Clydene it sure is loud in there, I don't wanna' go in there. Brenda we gotta get her out of there or we are'a'gonna be late gettin' home and we will all be in trouble.Now it's not that we didn't kinda know what we might see in there, that was just it, we kinda' knew. We opened the door and peeked in. The building was a long one. As I remember the bar was right across from the door. People were sitting there on stools. Then there were booth's all along the walls, red I think' and the wooden floor looked slick. Smoke and other smells blasted us in the face, and loud talkin' and laughin' like you never heard. It just scared the ever lovin' tar out of us. Of course Brenda was behind me and I turned around to run and we hit head on smack dab, forehead, nose, chin, smack! I saw stars and she said so did she. Clydene, I see her, there she is, go get her. Heck no I aint'a gonna go get her, she's your sister, you go. OK, but you gotta come with me. Well go on then and I foller' ya'. No, Clydene you stay right beside me. She grabbed hold of my arm with her vice grip that she always used on me and off we went. Well we were about half way there when the one we thought was Brenda's sister looked around at us. OH MY GOSH, that was the ugliest woman I had ever seen, and it sure nuff wasn't who we thought it was. HECK FIRE NO. That woman woulda' scared the britches off a witch. PSEW I mean ugly. I turned round and dug out on that dad-blamed slick floor with Brenda draggin along behind me stuck to my arm as usual. We both hit the floor with Brenda on top of me still holdin' on to my arm. She was'a holdin' on so tight my arm was goin' to sleep. That girl had a grip I tell ya'. Brenda get off of me and turn me loose, durn you anyway. I'd a been out side by now if it hadn'ta been for you! As I lay there squashed on the floor under Brenda, I saw a big ol' pair of boots a'comin' towards us. I mean to tell you now I was gonna' move and Brenda better not be there when I did, cause she would'nt see anything but my dust as I left. Yessiree! I was'a leavin'. I come up and dumpped Brenda off my back but that little nut still had my arm. Heck I couldn't feel the durn thing by now, and I don't think she coulda' turned loose if shed'a wanted to cause her fingers were already sunk to the bone in my flesh. I mean we were growed' together, smack-dab growed' together. Now Brenda was under me. Two big ol' hands reached down and picked us up and pulled us toward a big ol body. Couldn't see the face, didn't wanna' see the face. I started kickin the shins and stompin on them' ol' big boots, heck I even bit that big meaty arm. Hey Clydene, calm down now and quit bitin' me. What in the world are you two girls a'doin' in here anyhow? Now I thought I knew that voice but I wasn'ta staying round' to be sure so I kept up my attack. We were 13 I think and with us growed together the way we were it was not easy for him but he picked me up with Brenda danglin' on and looked me right in the face and said STOP IT AND STOP IT RIGHT NOW!!! Well heck fire Brenda it is (i'll call him Jack), It's our Aunts husband. He was the Deputy in Altus at the time. Brenda's sister had gone back in the Teen Town and we were gone so she'd sent Jack to find us. He was frantic, big sister was frantic, and we were just relieved that some big monster didn't have us in his grip. Jack took us outta there fast as he could. He put us in his car and drove us across the highway, marched in there and got big sister by the arm and brought her out. Now you girls have got some big explaining to do. You two stay in my car and You big sister get in that car and I'm'a gonna' follow you home and we are gonna' talk to your Mamas and Daddys. Which he did, and we did, and big sister did. Seems she had been in the shadows smooching her boyfriend when we went a lookun' for her. We all three got in a big heap of trouble but big sister got the most trouble over it cause me'n' Brenda told the whole dang story to our Parents. Yep told ever last detail and enjoyed the tellin of it. YEP!!! I never was in that place any more, NO WAY NO HOW! NOPE NEVER!!!
