Block Party

Today is Wednesday, commonly known as Hump Day.  Most people have the understandable reason that Wednesday is Hump Day because it is in the middle of the week.  There are some that claim it was given the nickname Hump Day because so many people had a hard time spelling Wednesday and it would make it easier to spell Hump Day.  When I was in the sixth grade, I had a different reason for thinking Wednesday was called Hump Day.  I use to walk home from school every day, and all of the houses, in my neighborhood, where close together, touching the sidewalk.  To the right of my house lived the Klein's, and to the right of them lived the Horowitz's.  Every Wednesday Mr. Horowitz would take a half day off work, and I don't care if it was rain, hail, sleet or snow outside, he would be banging Mrs. Horowitz, a screamer.  They always went at it with their window open and their shade pulled down. Anyone a few blocks over could here Mrs. Horowitz and her Hump Day banging, I swear.  In my neighborhood, it became almost like a block party every Wednesday (Hump Day).
