Unfortunately for Wawa, his dad was quite the mean drinker. It always made Felix see the bright side, of his own dad not being around. Every Friday night, Wawa, Butch, and Felix would go down to the bar, and talk Wawa’s dad into coming home, before he started to get into fights, and tear the place up. They did this at nine o’clock, every Friday night, while Wawa’s dad was still fairly pleasant. They wanted to get him home, before he became a danger to Wawa, and his mom. The three boys were an overpowering presence in the bar. The seas seemed to part for them. Being rather sacrilegious, Wawa’s dad would shout— “Sinner repent, will you pass down the primrose path to the eternal fires?” Wawa’s dad seemed to sense, he was doing something wrong. Butch and Felix stayed around at Wawa’s place, until his dad got tired, and went to bed. Bobby |

Thanks dear Tammy, Yes they are good friends. Growing-up, there were four of us. We were really more than family. We lost one to a heart attack about ten years ago. I still think of him. Bobby |

I have no feeling against drinking, the story is that they spill over others their drunkness and people who drink can represent a danger...Otherwise I like drinking a glass of wine from time to time... have a nice day yann |

Thanks Yann, I drink too, but I don't make an ass of myself like Wawa's and my dad used to. Bobby |
