Those Family Memories

My sister Lynn must look like a mark because she's been robbed twice and kidnapped at gunpoint (but only once). She's only five feet tall but can be mean as a badger in a basket, so the guy that kidnapped her at gunpoint made the wrong decision. This was years ago when she and a friend were at a little town celebration called the Honeybee Festival--I kid you not. They were getting into the car to leave,when the guy stuck a gun in her friend's back and ordered Lynn to drive as he put her friend in the back seat. Didn't look good. When he ordered my sister to head toward the expressway, (God only knows what would have happened then), she started ramming into cars parked on the side of the road. Since a fair was taking place, there were a lot of targets. The nutcase was waving the gun, threatening to shoot her. She kept apologizing and saying she was really nervous.

She had pulverized about ten cars when the police rounded her off just before she got on the interstate. One old geezer was so irate about the damage she had done to his cadillac that he stuck his head in the window and continued to yell even as the felon brandished the gun about. Anyway, she was rescued, my parent's insurance was cancelled (can you believe it?), and the guy got a light sentence in a mental rehab. He's probably killed somebody by now.
