Coyote" moment came as the result of Lawn Darts. In the first grade, we were abusing them in the normal manner when one got stuck in a small tree, out of reach. The tree was small enough that, with all of my first grade might, I could shake it and cause the dart to move. It was directly above my head, eight to ten feet up. Just as the "What on Earth am I doing?!?!" thought bubble appeared above my head, it came loose. One of the fins cut the side of my nose. My one true “Wile E.
