And I will do anything to keep from the conversation of going on with the car.

And now when I'm 17 years old, I actually refuse to talk to my parents about getting a driver's license because I'm afraid that the car issue might come up again.

Now I know that you gotta be sitting out there wondering, why didn't his family talk about the car?

Why didn't they?

And to be honest with you, I have the slightest idea why they didn't talk about the car.

But I do have a theory.

See, my parents didn't have any problem at all in punishing me.

They were disciplinarians, they knew exactly what to do.

So for this instance, they were trying to find exactly the right thing, and they did.

Silence.

They refuse to talk about it.

And what does silence lead to?

Guilt.

And that's what I have been experiencing is guilt.

And now 60 years later, I am 72 years old and we have not talked about this car and I feel guilt.

And while I feel this guilt, I also continue to remember the thing I have been taught.

If you tell the truth, the truth will set you free.

I am a talker, and I've got to tell somebody.

So I am here tonight to tell you I did it.

I wrecked the car.
