Family Travel / 23

Time slipped, a little, and Aunt Gale began to tell me about the accident. When my mother was twelve she got hit by a car. Her father found her unconscious bleeding into the gravel and he, a kind and decent man, decided to do what any reasonable father would do in the situation: kill the driver.

Somebody knocked him out and father and daughter were taken off together to the hospital.
