David Kates
David Kates was a kid who used to live in the neighborhood.
We had one of those soft nerf footballs and we'd spend the afternoons throwing it around and playing a few games of touch football, that is until David Kates would show up. When he would, there would be a sudden collective feeling of dread. No one wanted to play football with David Kates. Why you ask? Because he was notorious for picking his nose and wiping it ON THE BALL. It didn't matter what kind of mucus we were talking about. In summers it was the long, dried up kind. As the seasons changed and the leaves turned brown, so too would his snot change. We'd get the extra wet sticky type as the weather got colder. Oh David Kates, how many games of football you did transform into tormented rounds of boogerball instead....everyone has a David Kates somewhere in their past...
