Casa Fin Family Stories: Alessandro Fin - the jingle of the coins......
 now onto a story...i guess the
one that stands out the most is the time most of us were at choorch in
marrickville one sunday...the collection was coming around and dad had
given me 50 cents to put in the bag and me being the ultra smart 10
year old or so thought it would be a great idea to fool him and try to
keep it for myself...i was there just thinking of all the great things
at the local corner shop i could buy with this newly acquired
fortune....and back then it was alot....so as the bag came around i put
my hand in as to put the money in but kept it in my hand...the guy
walked away and i thought i was home and hosed...but no...dad then
asked me if i had put the money in...i guess he didnt hear the jingle
of the coins....damn didnt think of that...so i said yes...then he
asked me to open my hands which in turn got me caught red handed...man
i reckon if i was in any other place i would have copped it big time
but ironically i tanks gods i was in a choorch...he told me to(now in
dads accent)...you get down on your knees and pray for gods
forgiveness....only god knows what i was thinking while i was on my
knees...guess i learnt quick that it takes alot to out smart the old
mang.. |
