Most of us Cowboys grew up a little different than the other kids. We didn’t learn the same way. Some of us had trouble reading. Our minds were going in too many ways at once to concentrate on the boring words out of touch schoolteachers were blathering on about. Kids made fun of us for it. So we grew up busting knuckles on heads and spitting broken teeth through bleeding lips. I learned to duck a punch better than most people, which is why I still have a pretty face. I still think that’s the most important thing I learned in school.
