I was 9 or 10 and we(Mom and the little brothers) had gone to town. Probably J C Penneys for clothing, maybe some parts, and the last stop at Alco: wooden spoons were on sale so Mom bought three brand spankin new vacuum packed on the cardboard specemins... On the way home I found those darn spoons, drug 'em out of the sacks very quietly, and wedged them in the hinge of a backseat in an International Travelall, just until they cracked...
I'm gonna say it was two days before I got in trouble, might'a been less, but the dreaded kitchen drawer came screaming open, and I was caught by an extermity, and the wooden spoon descended at it's intended tatget, and KER-WHAK, the head went flying off of the spoon...
Some verbage was uttered and spoon #2 was called into action, and KER-WHAK, the head went flying off of the spoon. At this point the assumed punishment was put on hold until Dad got in from chores, when his examination of spoon #3 confirmed my guilt; and my inguienty..
I was "grounded" and ordered to pay restitution for the damaged property.
