"When I was six, one morning before school playing in the living room with Corky,  she pocked me in the eye.  My eye hurt but mother sent me to school.  My eye continued tearing and I couldn't open it at school.   So the teacher called my mother at work, she took me to the Doctor.  Corky had scratched my iris  and I had to wear a patch for at least a week.   My dad included this event in a brief history of his children."
