Sitting at the little table

Sitting at the little table.As a kid it seems that's where the kids ended up.Or the steps.Maybe even on the ground.

The big table was for grownups and where they did the grown talk and stuff.

If there is an official cut off time for sitting at the little table I don't know.

All I remember was if there was a Family gathering of some sort and you where still considered a kid off to the little table with your food they sent you.

In my old age while sitting at the big table now I can only look and sympathize with the kids at the little table.

Hang in there little man/little lady.Your turn will come.

Wow !

Wow !

That was the last word of a guy in Texas who was being put to death by lethal injection for the crime of capitol murder and rape.

He did thank the warden.Before all this he asked the witness he hope no one held any negative feelings toward him.

18 when all this took place.His accomplice was executed last year.

The Father,Stepmother,Stepbrother of the man shotgunned down attended also the woman he raped and shot was there.Another Lady who was shot and raped did not attend.

The Father of the handicapped man murdered said he died to easy.He just went to sleep.The Lady said she had expected an apology which never came.

Only word that comes to my mind about this sad situation for all involved is...

Wow !
