"By God, I bet you won't do it again"

I can't tell you all the stories of the things that Johnnie, Mike, Bennie and I did growing up as kids (smoking cigarettes, egging houses at Halloween, drinking, etc.). But looking back on it, I can say we probably caused both of our parents to get a lot of grey hair. One thing I'll always remember is the remark that Mr. Roach always made after telling us our punishment "by God I bet you won't do it again, cause the next time.....". It didn't dawn on us them, but later in life we laughed about how frustrating it must have been for our parents. Growing up has many emotions and events, but I can say that the times our familiy had together will never be forgotten. God Bless you Mr. Roach, and the family members that have gone before you. We'll all see each other again some day.......
