When I was a kid... part I

I'm starting a series of posts that will recap certain memories from my childhood.

And the first memory is....!

My apartment building had three floors and six apartments. Three on one side and three on the other. The second and third floor apartments had balconies. One day the one of the third floor balconies fell off the building. It was a dangerous thing.

Let's get to something more interesting. My first floor neighbors were into devil worship. The lady was extremely obese and the man was bone skinny. Their kids looked normal to some extent - sort of like the Addams Family.

So, the Addams Family kids took me into the basement and showed me a table with candles all around it. In the middle of the floor was a star with a circle around it and a dead cat was lying in the corner.

They also owned a three-legged dog. A mean three-legged dog he was and he went bananas whenever someone said "nigger". Now this dog didn't spaz out to defend anyone for being called a "nigger", he actually wanted to find the said "nigger" and chew the tongue out of his mouth - or something gross like that.

I'm not sure what they fed this nigger dog but they used to shoot drugs up into the stump that was his fourth leg.

One day my cousin threw a cat into this dog's cage. Needless to say that cat suffered more than I could bear to witness. May he rest in pieces.

When the Addams Family moved out- we threw a party. Just kidding. When the Addams Family moved out we actually broke into the apartment to see if they left any interesting behind. What we found was some poor soul's skull, hidden under one of the floorboards of the apartment.
