Wally: By Cody

I was downstairs in my bedroom playing with Wally Day. As we played, Wally said, “Hey Cody, say ‘I shot the city sheriff’ as fast as you can 10 times.” I was young and innocent, so I did what he told me to do. About the fifth time I repeated the saying, Wally started to laugh out loud. The faster I tried to repeat the saying, the more it sounded like I was swearing. Suddenly, mom appeared at the doorway of the room and said, “Wally, go home and don’t come back!!!” Wally quickly stood up and left out the back door. At the time I didn’t understand why Wally had been sent home. Years later, I finally figured out why mom was upset.
