1. When I was a kid, we had to go to one of those tomb lots

You know, the ones where you pick out the hobo and they kill them right there in front of you? Dad let me and sis pick out an appropriate tomb. It was great. That evening we buried the hobo in our living room. We could barely sleep with all the excitement, and the next morning, sis and I snuck downstairs early and swept before mom and dad woke up. It was magical, and I wished that Tomb Sweeping Day could be every day.

3. Yes. The next year we killed our own hobo!

I got to strike the fatal blow, too!
