Once
while heading home from Roy
Wilcox Elementary
School, Kitimat (probably my first year there,
thus grade 2 circa 1978-1979). I got harassed by another kid who absolutely
insisted I had a sibling (I can’t recall if it was a brother or a sister I was
supposed to have). He may have tried
this before but if so this time he was more aggressive. Being an only child, I denied his claim. He
got angry and started fighting me, opining me down as I recall. I had to be
somewhere with my parents after school, so to get rid of this idiot I finally
had to “confess” to having a sibling. He then insisted that they were named
such and such (I can’t recall what the name was supposed to be). I recall
making one last futile gesture and claiming that it was something else. I also can’t
recall his response to the other name (it was over 30 years ago). But I do recall that, having “confessed” to having a
sibling I didn’t have, the moron finally let me go free and head home.
