I really couldn’t help doing what I did next. Unfortunately for me, right at that moment, Dad was at the front window.

Dad was already mad at me for tearing up the sod, so I knew I was in for it.

I thought he might actually get a kick out of what happened.

But I guess he had his heart set on rolling that snowball down the hill, and he was really mad. But get this: Rowley was mad at me for what Dad did.

But lately, Bryan’s been using his strip to handle his personal business. I guess that’s why they gave him the axe
