After collecting his Halloween candy from hitting the streets of his neighborhood, Sam became sick for a few days and did not have a desire to eat any of it, so his parents set it aside. While Sam was recovering his parent sampled a few pieces of his candy thinking he would not notice what was missing when he felt better. When Sam did feel better he asked for his candy and sure enough he noticed there was some missing pieces and asked where they were. His mother had to confess. Sam became a little upset and with a parental tone told his mother they should have asked him first before doing what they did. Not bad for a four and a half year old-right?
A collection of stories from the life of Michael Burke. He worked for the Forest Service in Alaska, California, and Oregon. He lives in Oakland, OR. His wonderful wife, Celia, passed in May of 2021
