<p>[QUOTE=&quot;yourturntoloveit, post: 9590, member: 57&quot;]I did get a bicycle for my 9th birthday.&nbsp; A couple of years later my sister got a bicycle.&nbsp; We would ride up our one-mile road to a small &quot;settlement&quot; where there was a drug store with a soda fountain.&nbsp; One time my bicycle started acting up on the way up the road.&nbsp; Luckily there was a bicycle repair shop so I &quot;walked&quot; my bicycle in there and asked the man if he could repair it.&nbsp; Knowing that everything costs money and thinking I didn&#039;t have enough to get it repaired, I asked the man if he would repair it while I rode back home on my sister&#039;s bike to get money out of my piggy bank.</p><p><br /></p><p>I told the man I could leave my sister there as &quot;collateral.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>He had repaired my bike by the time I rode back up there with a little more money.&nbsp; My sister was sitting there happy as a clam eating an ice cream cone from the drug store soda fountain which either the man or another customer had bought for her while she sat there as &quot;collateral.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Does that tell you the kinds of words I grew up hearing Daddy say??????[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
