The Kid, Continued

If the day was good and the business great, he would sometimes take some time off from being a cop and put on the ChemLawn outfit and chemically treat his parents’ yard with the special chemical H2O, which was specially formulated to attract bees and create a growth haven for weeds. But the job had to get done. After treating the lawn, there would always be jobs to do that the Cop Kid couldn’t, and that’s why his superhero outfits would come in so handy.

Usually, Robin, you know – Batman’s buddy – would be able to save the day. Funny, he rode a bike similar to the Cop Kid’s, but no one ever put 2 and 2 together. The life of the kid. Growing up in the summer and listening to KISS rock and roll all nite on the radio and not having any clue that some kids couldn’t listen to them because their name stood for “Knights in Satans Service” or something crazy like that.

The kid’s Gene Simmons solo album was a classic and it was bought because of the song “Burning Up With Fever,” which was thought to possibly be “Hot Blooded,” but wasn’t after all. The life of the kid. Riding around on a yellow Huffy with a banana seat and a handle bar that, when revved, sounded like a motorcycle. The kid. This story will put you in 1978 and let you see things through the kid’s eyes.
