Cute as a Button, Balls of Brass

I Bet You Were Cute as a Child! Unofficial Challenge

“Cute as a button,” my mother would agree, except on this day.

I was four years old. At that age, I didn’t have a plan, but lots of determination. I just wanted to watch my father play tennis. I knew the way because I had walked there with my mother many times.

On this day, I was going by myself. I took off to walk the mile or so. Didn't make it because my mother had called the police – lost child, (not so cute now!).

I did get to ride in the police car, though; what an exciting day!

Till next time,

Calvin
