THE LAST TV FOR MANY YEARS

AGE – 4

 My sister and I spent allot of time on our plot of land.  My mom loved Great Danes ever since she was a little girl.  The dogs were not allowed inside the house, but my sister and I used to sneak them into the house whenever we could - and I think my mom pretended not to see - as long as we did it quietly.  What we really enjoyed was our large TV that my father had bought while he was alive.  We really had no reason to be extremely bored at home, a big TV that we could watch with the big dogs. 

 


One night a car drove up to the house, and obviously the male Great Dane heard a car approaching.  We didn’t hear the car but we soon found out.  It was when the big male dog jumped up and ran to the door, his chest snagged the TV’s cable.  And down it fell.  When my mother reported this to the insurance company, they simply denied her payment.  This was probably a good lesson for both of us, me and my sister, but the result was to endure without TV for about 5 years later.  This was probably also one of the reasons I spent so much time roaming the dangerous African Countryside.
