As small children, Adrienne and I loved to use blackmail to get our way with each other.

It went like this: If you don’t do what I want I’m going to tell on you.

 Her biggest threat: One day she caught me, in the rock house, peeing over the banister down into the basement.

 My biggest threat: After seeing a movie about a girl who’s horse’s name was, “Pie,” I caught her sitting on the tailgate of the truck holding the tailgate chain in her hands, and pretending the chain was Pie’s reins; she was saying, “come on Pie.” I got a lot of mileage out of this one. ; - )
