Have you ever been wrongly accused for something? Ever since I was a little kid,
I've been fascinated with the subject. Case and point: one Christmas eve my parents accused me of opening a gift before Christmas morning arrived. My dad was big stickler on that. No opening of gifts until after church on Christmas day. I recall both my parents flanking me and asking me in that accusatory tone, "Did you or did you not open that gift?" A boy of no more than 7 I stared at the black doctor's kit and I tried to recall: had I in fact torn away the paper and opened it? I most certainly did not I decided. And I proceeded to plead my case to my parents who weren't having any of it. They were convinced I'd done it and not my older sisters who could do no wrong. I was spanked and sent to my room.
