Kaye got his first tattoo about six years ago. Once he started, he just couldn"t stop. "I kept seeing
characters in the movies and thinking, "That would make a great tattoo!"" he says. Kaye also collects
items related to Star Wars. He recently had to sell a large part of his collection because it became too
expensive to store it. But he can keep the tattoos forever.

whole face tattooed.”

| My father quit driving in 1927, when he was 25 years old. So my brother and I grew up in a household without a car. In 1951,when my brother turned 16, my parents bought a used 1950 Chevrolet from a friend. Since my parents didn"t drive, it more or less became my brother"s car. Having a car but not being able to drive didn"t bother my father, but it didn"t make sense to my mother. So in 1952, when she was 43 years old, she learned to drive. For the next 45 years or so, until she was 90, my mother was the driver in the family. After my father retired when he was 70, he almost always accompanied my mother whenever she drove anywhere, even if he had no reason to go along. One day my father said to me, "Do you want to know the secret of a long life?" "I guess so," I said, knowing it probably would be something bizarre (稀奇古怪的). "No left turns. " he said. "What?" I asked. "No left turns," he repeated. "Think about it. Three rights are the same as a left and that"s a lot safer. Several years ago, your mother and I read an article that said most accidents that old people are in happen when they turn left in front of oncoming traffic. As you get older, your eyesight worsens. So your mother and I decided never again to make a left turn. " "You"re kidding!" I said, and I turned to my mother for support. "No." she said. "Your father is right. We make three rights. It works. " But then she added: "Except when your father loses count." "Loses count?" I asked. "Yes," my father admitted, "that sometimes happens. But it"s not a problem. You just make seven rights, and you"re okay again. " I couldn"t resist. "Do you ever go for 11 ?" I asked. "No," he said "If we miss it at seven, we just come home and call it a bad day. Besides, nothing in life is so important it can"t be put off another day or another week. " My mother was never in an accident all through her life. | |||||||||

| When I was six years old, my sister, Sally Kay, was a submissive three-year-old girl. For some reasons, I thought we needed to 1 some money. So I decided we should "hire out" as maids.

Mother had just hung up the phone 5 we came into the house. "Girls," mother asked, "why were you two 6 the neighborhood telling people you would clean their houses?" We both denied.

Faced with the truth, we 8 what we had done. Mom tried to explain how much a fib (小谎) hurt 9 she didn"t feel that we really understood. Then Mom cheerfully asked, "Would you two like to go to see the movie The Matinee this afternoon?" "Oh, wonderful!" After lunch, we got bathed and all 10 up. It was like getting ready for a birthday party. We 11 outside the apartment, not wanting to miss the 12 that would take us downtown. At the bus station, Mom stunned (使震惊) us by saying, "Girls, we are not going to the 13 today." "What?" we objected 14 . "What do you mean? Aren"t we going to The Matinee?" She explained this was how much a fib could hurt. "It is important that what we say is 15 ," Mom said. "I fibbed to you just now and I felt 16 . I don"t want to fib again and I"m 17 you don"t want to fib again either. People must be 18 to others." That was 19 my sister and I learned to be truthful.
