mafia!?

[Possegal]

i found a body once. i was little and riding on the back of my b-i-l's bike, with my two sisters and brothers all riding. we were cruising along a park in chicago right along the lake and since i was just along for the ride, i was able to look all around and enjoy the scenery. i remember poking my b-i-l in the back saying ' ummmm, isn't that a body over there'? it was someone floating in the lake. i was perhaps too young to be traumatize by it, and maybe the distance between me and someone floating face down in the lake helped. now it is more an interesting story, cause not everyone can say they found a dead body. we never did find out any details. my sister remembers us walking by there later that day and her pushing us away because the police were there with a big grappling hook looking for more things in the water, i suppose. and apparently she and her husband and our brother worked themselves into a lather speculating that it was a mafia hit and that someone would come to find us. they were just joking (my sister and i were in bed, they wouldn't have scared the young'ins that way). but they said someone knocked on the door and all three of them screamed. their silly speculating apparently actually scared them all a little bit.

lisa s.h. - so sorry about your brother, that must have been just excruciatingly painful on your family.
