Space #68
My boy Timmy went and wrecked not one, but two
of my pickup trucks this month. I blame Ramone, the new guy in space
#90.
Ever since Ramone moved into the trailer park,
Timmy's been star-struck. Ramone drives in the demolition derby
event during halftime at the racetrack down the highway, and apparently
he's some kind of champion at it. Now Timmy wants to drive like
that.
Ramone told Timmy the secret to winning a demolition
derby is to go backwards a whole lot. You can't get killed going
backwards, and neither can your engine. So Timmy pilfered my truck
keys to practice driving real fast in reverse.
Unfortunately, Timmy backed my pickup truck into
the duckpond, where it sucked algae and duckshit and mud and guppies
and giardia lamblia into the motor. That truck is still in
the duckpond right now, because I got no reason to pay to have it
towed out. It ain't never running again anyways, not with the engine
all gummed up like that.
My other pickup truck suffered a similar fate with
Timmy at the wheel, but it crashed into the dumpster first and pushed
the crumpled dumpster into the duckpond. Both pickup trucks are
still in the water right now. I did make Timmy get out there and
drag the dumpster out of the duckpond, though. I mean, shit, we
need someplace to dump our trash, right? Besides, Timmy got
Ronnie and Lonnie Dorque in space #24 to help him.
I suppose things could be worse. At least Ramone
ain't getting Timmy into pills and meth and tarball heroin and shit
like that. Timmy's only 14 years old. The only thing he's allowed
to do is drink beer, and it has to be in my presence. And Timmy
was stone-cold sober when he sank both my pickup trucks.
When Timmy does drive with a few beers in him,
he holds his liquor well. He don't go attracting the attention of
law enforcement by weaving all over the road or nothing like that.
He pretty much sticks to driving inside the trailer park and don't
go out on the highway hardly at all. The only DUI Timmy ever got
was on his bike a couple years ago.
Oh, shit, I just realized something. Both my trucks
are in the duckpond and out of commission. This means I can't go
to the store for beer. Timmy's too young to buy beer, even with
a note from his mama or me. Even if he could buy beer with a note,
he'd have to put a little pink fag-basket on his bike to haul the
beer home in, and I just can't allow that.
Beulah will just have to stuff her 400-pound self
into that ittybitty Honda and make beer runs for the family. Maybe
I ought to pay to have one of my trucks towed out of the pond, after
all.
That Honda's a sore issue for me. I ain't never
told anybody about this, but back when Beulah was with that fucking
pervert Willy, she put the Honda in her and Willy's name. So technically,
that creepy fucking pervert owns half my wife's Honda. We can't
sell it without Willy's signature, and I know he'll demand half
what we get for the car to sign the title transfer.
Maybe I ought to let Timmy use the Honda for his demolition derby
shit.
