The temporary nature of family marshmallow roasts and monopoly games with his father; tire swings and neighbor's tree houses; bicycle radios fastened to handlebars; selling snow cones to passing cars; bicycle routes; meatloaves, potatoes, and onion rings; bi bi bop and kimchi chige; that trip to Arkansas at a distant relative's house and how he and his sister had played in the snow with a "cousin" the whole day; his sister....
This helped them somewhat; but in a little while they were just as bad as ever. 'Hutetu! said one, and shivered and shook. 'Hutetu! said the old woman, and shivered so, that every tooth in her head chattered. Then she pulled out the flask with brandy in it, and her hand shook so that the spirit splashed about in the flask, and then she took such a gulp, that it went 'bop' in her throat.
"We all pull 'em." Sim turned and hurried away without another word. Stan was still smiling as he entered the colonel's office. O'Malley scowled up at him. "Did you bop him one?" he asked. The colonel was seated at his desk. He looked from Stan to O'Malley and lifted his eyebrows. "No," Stan said. "I made a date to have lunch with him." O'Malley's eyes opened wide. The colonel leaned back.
"No," cried Clover; "first 'The Blue Wizard, or Edwitha of the Hebrides, you know, Katy." "Didn't I tell you?" said Katy; "a dreadful accident has happened to that."

"Sometimes he jus bop em crosst de ear wid a battlin stick." "A what?" "Battlin stick, like dis. You doan know what a battlin stick is? Well, dis here is one. Use it for washin clothes. You lift em outa de wash pot wid de battlin stick; den you lay em on de battlin block, dis here stump. Den you beat de dirt out wid de battlin stick." "A stick like that would knock a horse down!"

His life was a stunted one. Still, back in Chongju, he made the call and cancelled his classes. Then, near the bus terminal, he went to a restaurant.

"Oh!" continued Katy, "Aunt Izzie put on her glasses too, and screwed up her eyes you know the way she does, and she and the judge read a little bit of it; that part at the first, you remember, where Bop steals the blue-pills, and the Wizard tries to throw him into the sea.
Peter, my old boatman, too, pulled his last oar some two years back, and one "Bop" takes his place. There is another "p" and an "e" tacked on to Bop, but I have eliminated the unnecessary and call him "Bob" for short. They made Bob out of what was left of Peter, but they left out all trace of William.
He had pets mongst de wimmen folks, an' used t' let 'em off easy, w'en dey desarved a good beatin'. Sometimes 'e jes' bop 'em crost de ear wid a battlin' stick, or kick 'em in de beehind.
