Here is a fun family true story that some of you will know and others will not.
Cesspool an underground container for the temporary storage of liquid waste and sewage. Now that you know what a cesspool is, here is my story: We went to mama’s 1969 family reunion which was being held
in Arkansas. So this is what I can remember about this reunion. Dennis and
I was getting the opportunity to ride a pony. So Dennis got on the pony first and was so scared he pee on the pony. Which left me crying because I had to wait for the pony to be cleaned up. I believe I was about 6 or 7 years old at the time. So what does cesspool has to do with this story. Well mama said I could ride the pony next after she returned from her family member house across the field. With this all said, I saw mama coming across the field and started calling out her name and running toward her because I was excited about my turn to ride the pony. After a couple dozen steps or so, the next thing I know I fell into the cesspool on the property. OMG!!!
