A Friendship Forged in Childhood

We met at a Bernabe picnic. I think we were about 5 years old. Michael and Joey must have had a bet about who could kick whose butt. Michael told me Doug could kick my butt, and Joey told Doug, “That kid could kick your butt!” We wrestled, Doug got me in a headlock, I bit him, we both went away crying, and we were friends ever since.
