I was the always the smallest kid in class and on the football team. (Only 5'2" my Freshman year) I was a runt so I guess I looked like an easy target.The Griffey twins were the terrors in my elementary school because they were bigger than everyone else, plus there were two of them. After weeks of their abuse, my father noticed a change in me and sat me down to find out the problem. He told me that the next time they started in on me, if I did not follow his advice I would get it worse when I got home. He told me to look directly at their nose and hit it as hard and as often as I could. The next day at pee wee football practice after school, one of the Griffeys started in on me and grabbed my face mask and swung me around until my helmet came off. I remember the uncontrollable rage that overtook me. All fear left my body and I proceeded to throw a series of left hooks to his nose until blood was streaming down his face. His brother never jumped in, which surprised me. I don't recall if he ever landed a blow on me because of my adrenline. That event followed me up through high school and no one ever picked on me again. I went through a crazy growth spurt my junior year from 5'6" to 6'3''. Never had to fight again until later in life when I got a job as a bouncer for 2 years. Too old to fight now, I'll just shoot your azz if you swing on me now. Peace at last!
