There were 10 kids in our family. All of us ought to have died many times. The fact that we survived has nothing to do with how careful we were to avoid mistakes. Hell, we didn't have a clue: climbing abandoned grain elevators; swinging up and over the rotten coping of an old windmill; drinking kerosene; being hung up by the throat on a barbed wire fence, 2 miles from home; my baby brother (about 5) being ran down by about 100 spooked cows and falling in a depression on some sun baked muddy ground. We thought he was dead. But after they passed he stumbled up, walking a bit crooked from one glancing head blow...but as I have tried to point out: head blows were relatively risk free with us!
