"This I Believe" Shotgun Rules
| Watch This Segment Online. | | Description: | As part of the “This I Believe” series at WFYI, Fortville’s Roger Sharitt, a parent of two kids getting ready to head to high school, reminds us of the old child’s game of “shotgun.” “If you yell ‘shotgun’ before everyone else, you get to sit in the front seat by the window, next to dad. It doesn't matter if you were the last of six kids out the door,” he reminds us, “if you yell it first, you’re in the front row. You could be five inches smaller and 100 pounds lighter, yet you are king of the mountain all because of two little syllables.” Roger thinks about how we, as adults, often skirt the rules “like your grandmother’s hem at Christmastime” and hopes his kids will always remember that, while life isn’t always fair, it’s usually a better thing when you play by the rules. | | Credits: | Jim Simmons | | Location: | Fortville |
