Humans Of Arlington - Janet Pennington

Keith Judkins, Staff

When I was a kid we used to spend a lot of time with our first cousins, they were the same age as us. There were to boys and two girls we spent a lot of time together hanging out. One time they were over at our house and we were running through the house, my cousin was trying to tackle me and I was not having any of it. I jumped up in the bed and he was crawling over the edge of the bed grabbing at my ankles I wasn’t having it so I picked up the first thing I could grab my hands on and hit him over the head with it, and it was a etch sketch and all all of the graphite came out and covered him. Of course I got in trouble for hitting him over the head, but I got my just rewards wearing my pink quilted house coat because his clothes were covered in graphite. So now every time I go to Disney and ride toy story mania, I take a selfie of me and the etch sketch and send it to him, and the first Christmas gift I gave his son was an etch sketch.
