When I was a kid, I was afraid of Backfire. He used to baby sit me and torture me with a wooden club that had a metal nail sticking out at the end.
But now, when Backfire comes over to baby sit me, he pulls out the club with the metal nail and we laugh and Backfire says, "Remember those days, Hiker?" And I reply, "Yeah, those were the days." And then Backfire says, "You've come a long way, Hiker. I'm proud of you." Then we embrace in a warm hug. 😊
