I remember growing up and having this retarded neighborhood friend named Jimmy. He was either deaf or a retard, I can’t remember. But that kid was so funny when he wasn’t meaning to be. Like, me and Eli would sneak up on him — it was easy because he was a deaf retard and so he couldn’t hear us, and even if he did he was too stupid to know any better. Anyway, we would sneak up on him and throw pine cones at him. Retard Jimmy would get so mad! He would chase after us and say, in his deaf retard voice, “I’m gonna kick your buh! I’m gonna kick your buh!”
Me and Eli would crack up. We would be like, “You’re gonna wha? You’re gonna kick our buh? Where’s our buh, Retard Jimmy?” That Jimmy’s face would get so red.
I hadn’t thought of that in a long time, but I thought of it because the writer guy who is doing my autobiography was asking me for childhood stories and I gave him that one. I don’t think he got it though. He didn’t really laugh. Writers are weird. But so, guess what? Right before Sunday’s game I called Eli on his cell and when he answered I said, “I’m gonna kick your buh, little bro!”
