A Child's View

A Child's View



My ex-husband would often tell my step-son about his exploits in the army and he would sometimes add a monster or something to keep a five year old's attention. One time he described the ditches the troops used in Korea during air raid practice. When asked if he had been afraid, Wes replied that the "turtle ditch monster" patrolled the ditches keeping everyone's courage up. He didn't realize what he had started until a few days later. I overheard Chris telling four wide eyed children how his Daddy personally knew the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" and that he had met them in Korea before they became famous and moved to America.
