A Tooth For An Eye

When I was a kid I went to Target and bought one of those Marksman .177 caliber pistols that shot BB,pellets and darts for $8.00. It was the same kind Chevy Chase shot John Candy in the arse with in National Lampoon's Vacation. I remember the old man was looking at it and grinning when I showed it to him so I asked if it was powerful and he said " You could probably stand 10 feet away and catch the BB. " That didn't bother me too much, it looked cool and was only 8 bucks. One day my sister discovered my stash of gum that I had been swiping from the store (about 30 packs) and told my mom. I wasn't supposed to be chewing gum anyway because the dentist had just put a couple of fillings in my teeth. I sought revenge and the first thing that came to mind was her dolls. She hung on to every doll she ever got and kept them lined up on her headboard above her bed. I waited until she was out of the house and grabbed my cheap BB gun, It had a pellet in it, and I swung open her bedroom door and fired from the hip at her " Chatty Cathy " doll (that was a doll with big eyeballs and talked when you pulled a string) I knocked out the left eye and the doll flipped over and landed on her bed. I heard my sister coming into the house so I quickly shut her door and went into my room and closed the door. I could hear her screaming and yelling thru the thin wall and then it got quiet so I went over and peeked in her room. She was checking the vital signs of the doll and I swear, when she pulled the string that doll ratted on me, not only that, but my sister found the pellet. As I was trying to sneak downstairs she came out of her room and walloped me in the back of the head with a steel vacuum cleaner pipe that knocked a filling out of my mouth. That made us even. For years she had that doll sitting on her headboard with a bandage over one eye, I was going to ask her if she could use a marble but was afraid she would think I was insinuating something.
