Me and my Mom did keep a secret from my Dad once about my older brother. He snuck out of the house one night in the middle of the week (during the school year in the springtime), and went joy riding with five other guys. They got caught by the police a couple of towns away. So I answered the phone about 2:45 am and they told me it was the police in such and such town. They told me they had arrested my brother and needed to speak to an adult. I carefully opened my parents door and carefully tapped my mom on the shoulder and did the shhh finger over the mouth sign. I curled my index finger and got her to come out of our parents bedroom. Then I shut their door super, super quite. I lead her by the hand to the phone and whispered in her ear who was on the phone and why. She told me to stay quite and that she was going to go and get my brother and try to be home become my Dad was woke up by his alarm to get ready for work. She said if she wasn’t home in time I was to make my Dad breakfast and get his lunch ready for work and tell him that she took my brother to the ER because he had a terrible belly ache and she wanted to make sure it wasn’t appendicitis. No lie. Well, her and my brother made it home about 20 minutes before the alarm was to go off. So thankfully I didn’t have to lie. We never told my Dad anything about it. However some of the boys involved in the joy riding went to the same church our family did and one of the boys parents arranged for the boys to go through scared straight at a prison one town away from us on the Saturday following the incident. The preacher’s son was the warden there. Boy five of the boys did get scared straight, but one didn’t. One ended up in prison, then when released got in trouble again and I think committed suicide so he wouldn’t have to go back to the pen. Actually my brother said the joy riding was his idea. Thankfully the man who they stole the car from didn’t press charges. His car wasn’t damaged, but I know after that he did build a garage to keep his vehicles in.
