“Bobbing for crab apples? You’re crazy.” I said as Tommy and I were on our way home from the drive-in-movies. “Why not it’s just the same.” He said trying to hold back a giggle. Earlier that day Tommy and I had walked down to North Elementary School from his house. We carried crisp brown paper bags that had never been used. We trudged to the end of the field in the playground to our bountiful crab apple trees. As we laughed and played we gathered the treasures and put them in our bags to carry home. Our plan for these sour little apples was to take to the drive-in-movies and throw them at anyone or anything moving. I had no idea that our plans were going to change. When we got home Tommy and I searched high and low for the perfect bowl. We chose a beaten and worn old blue bowl. We filled the bowl with water and dropped in as many crab apples as the bowl would hold. All night we splashed around in the bowl, seeing how many crab apples would fit in our mouths when they were thrown. The mess we had made in his kitchen was warlike. The water soaked almost every surface with the little apples scattered everywhere. We sat in the kitchen and laughed so hard we were crying. Tommy and I were a little crazy but we didn’t care because we were little and just wanted to have fun. If people now in there older age, would have the care freeness of us two crazy kids, I think the world would be a much easier going place. It’s not that you have to act immaturely or go bobbing for crab apples. It’s the fact that if you just let go and live a little you could have a really good time and in the process relieve some stresses of everyday life. So what I’m saying is just relax, be a little care free sometimes and life could just be easy going. Live a little, laugh a little and have a good time letting go.
