Come to Think of it, My Brother John is Kind of a Jerk

…There I would be, riding gaily down the sidewalk on my pink banana seat Schwinn, listening to a Disney tape that I had in a portable cassette player in the basket of my bike, when John would come out of nowhere to burn my tires. I never knew he was there until he was about fifteen feet away, and by then it was too late. In nervous terror I would look over my shoulder and there he was, with his growth stunted legs pumping those pedals (so help me God, he reached speeds of thirty miles an hour), hellbent on catching me. “Better ride faster, I’m gonnnnnnnnnna get you,” he taunted, knowing full well that I couldn’t out run him.
