History from under the bed
Hi everyone,
Peety here. I'll be guest hosting while Brian gets settled into his new job
with the I.R.S. Today, I'm going to tell you about the history under
Brian's bed....his bed in Wichita Falls. As we all know, Brian had a bunk
bed in his bedroom while growing up. He always slept on the top bunk, so
when visiting/hanging out, I would crawl into the bottom bunk. One day in
1990 (I think), I decided to leave my mark. I grabbed a pencil and starting
writing on the boards above me that supported the top mattress. It simply
said something to the effect of "Hi Brian, Jason" and whatever the date
was. This soon became a regular happening with the old gang including
myself, my first love, Jeff, Brian, and Melinda, and even a few others like
Josh that showed up from time to time. After a while, it became more than
just a "Jason was here" type thing. Jeff would advertise highschool
football carwashes and other people would carry on ongoing conversations.
After time, all the boards were filled up with writing so, we flipped them
over and wrote on the other sides. When those were full, we wrote on the
soft material that held the box springs together. Keep in mind that in
normal view, none of this could be seen. You actually had to crawl in the
bottom bunk to see anything. I was always afraid that Linda or Robbie would
find out about it and raise hell, but they never caught on to my knowledge.
If any of us ever become famous, I can see this bunk bed being sold on
Ebay, like one of the Beatles toothbrushes or something like that. If
you're ever in Wichita Falls, and in the area of the Bass/Robertson house,
crawl into the bottom bunk and see some history.
