When I was seven we all lived on a farm outside of Virden. Sis was 16 years old and was going to get married to Laurence A. Smith. Sis had the deluxe bedroom in our home and she even had a cardboard closet. I had always wanted that closet. Laurence and Sis were married at the farm house.
One of Laurence's friends had a walking cane. When Laurence and Sis were walking down the aisle, his friend took the cane and hooked Laurence's leg and nearly tripped him.
After they were married, Laurence's friends had put a siren bomb on their car so that when they started the car a siren went off and a big fire cracker sound went off.
I was really glad to get rid of my sixteen year old sister. When we were driving home to the farm one night and she hit a cow and smashed the fender of the car. She let out her famous little giggle and told me not to tell Daddy how it happened.
Now that she was married and gone, I got to have her cardboard closet.
