BOWLING MONEY


Two sisters, left alone by working parents during long summer days, played poker with three neighborhood boys in hopes of winning cash for bowling, a popular activity.  When the necessary 25 cents was accumulated, off they would go, riding their bikes to the local bowling alley, leaving the boys to their game.

    And did the parents ever know?

    I don't believe so, although those two sisters were very adventuresome.

      Hmm! I would describe our creative endeavors in a different manner.

    Ah, Joelle! Now this brings back memories. I spent my whole misspent youth in one bowling alley or another. In Brooklyn, where I grew up, that's where all the shady characters hung out.

    Thank you for your memories. One evening in the 10th grade, I wore green eye shadow on my lips to the bowling alley, thinking I looked really cute. Green lips? In retrospect, I could possibly have been described as a "shady character".
