A Case of Broken Window "Pain"

Starting this post I want to set things straight, I mean no ill will to my loved little sister Carole. It just seems that in my "middle" years it is easier to remember backwards in years than forwards.
I am only guessing at ages here but I imagine Carole at 8 or 9, that means I'm 10 or 11 and Bonnie is acting like 20 or so, but more like 14 or 15. Bonnie was always a "Tomboy" and I thank her for that as we always hung out together, still do when we get a chance.
Anyways Bonnie and I were at "it" as usual and somehow a window got broken, maybe a baseball maybe a stick who knows, and for this story who cares.
Anyway a new pane of glass is required. You have to remember that in 1963 most people didn't have at home cold storage. Our family was no different and we kep't our meat etc. in a locker in the cold storage unit in West Lorne.{I used to remember the name, oh well} It was Dad and Caroles turn to make the weekly trip into town  for groceries and in this case glass.
So into town they go, Dad in his bib overalls and little Carole listening to him grumble about the carelessnous of the other two. 1st stop was Fisher&Kemps hardware to pick up the glass. When done they went out and put the glass on the back seat of the car and headed on to the cold strage locker for the weeks supply of meat. Dad stops to visit with some neighbors for a bit and then says "I better get this meat home before it thaws" On arriving back at the car "in a hurry" he promptly throws the meat into the back seat and you guessed it, breaks the new glass.
Back into Fisher& Kemps for more glass. Knowing Dad, I'm sure the air was blue the whole way. He gets the second new pane of glass safely into the back seat, turns around and bumps into our neighbors from across the road, Dunc& Grace. They jaw for a while as he fills them in on the days events, and he says to Carole "lets get that meat home". Carole runs around the car and jumps in the backseat, and you guessed it, lands on the glass.{thankfully they wrapped it in paper back then}
Now Carole knows just how pissed Dad is about the glass thing already, so she does the most logical thing an 8 year old would do. She just sits there and doesn't say a word all the way home. Once there dad takes the meat into the house and Carole hightails it for the barn.
A while later Dad desides to put the glass into the window, goes to the car to find the broken glass and Carole is nowhere to be found. Sooo we start looking for her, the whole family, and she is gone. Dad's bad temper builds, till we all realize we can't find her. We look high and low until she is found hiding in our hay fort in the haymow.
She is ballin her eyes out and says to dad "I didn't want you to be mad" She also knew that we recieved a spankin for breaking the window and she didn't want one too.
So in the future we learned that if you cry ahead of time, the chances are greatly reduced of gettin a spankin.{certainley not always}
