Opening Day..Many years ago

I just heard a story on the radio about a mom who took her daughter out of school for a hair appointment. The school decided that it was unexcused absence and gave her detention. The mom thought it wasn't fair, and so she took the detention for her daughter.
Why am I telling you this? It reminded me of a story that happened when I was in 7th or 8th grade I asked my parents fro tickets to opening day at Tiger stadium. The said if I could get there I could go. They went on a cruise and I forgot about the promise. I went to school like any other day and brought my little radio and ear plugs and planned on sneaking it throughout the day.
My oldest brother, airtime, came to school to pick me up, telling the office, and me, that I had a Dr Appointment. I didn't remember having an appointment, but eh said that it was on the calendar. As we were driving I mentioned that he was going teh wrong way. He informed me that the doctor’s office moved to the corner of Michigan and Trumbull. Better known as Tiger stadium. He dropped me off with my aunt, and she took my cousin and me.
When the school found out what he did, he was called into the office and scolded for his irresponsible behavior....ahh just a nice trip down memory lane.
