Carmen leapt from the gym, like some kind of spider-woman in a puffy prom dress and landed partially wrapped around my neck, shoulders and one arm pit.
Gary A. Wilson is one of my favorite storytellers. His adventures and antics are always a great read, and today’s story is no exception. Check out his blog at Gary A. Wilson’s Stories A Dime of Time.
And today, laugh at his misadventures, Suffer the Little Children.

“There are two lasting bequests we can give our children: One is roots, the other is wings.” Teaching children values and giving them the opportunity to excel is essential to good parenting. However, I feel I must also provide my children (and myself) insight into the ones who came before us: our ancestors whose lives and stories have shaped us into who we are. This is my journey; these are their stories…

Hi Ann Marie and thanks for sharing this adventure. On the scale of “Embarrassment” this event scored a clear rating of MASSIVE, and chills me to this day, some 30 years later. I hope your readers enjoy the laugh.

That was too funny, and I feel his pain as I have always been that dad that all the kids, male and female, just seemed to gravitate to because I would play… on their level. Ha… Fun times! I loved this story!

Hi Kevin – Up to that moment – I loved that kids liked to herd around me for the same reason. It made ministry an exhausting joy to work with. But wow! Spending any time beneath a young girls’ dress like this was a shock that I may never forget. It does make for a vivid story though, that few can top.

Brrr – just thinking of it makes me want to go hide from everyone for a while. Thanks for giving my story a read.
