And when he's riding, we become friends, and he said, hey, can you come to my house?
I got a little club in my garage, and I asked my mom.
She calls his mom, and we go over there.
We're best friends now.
It's just two blocks away.
I ride my bike over there in his garage.
The parents had set up a little clubhouse in the back.
So we go in there and he grabs his hair and he takes it off and he puts it on the thing.
It's got all these loops of tape in there.
I'm like, what's going on?
He goes, oh, I'm sick.
That's nothing.
Because when he would ride his bike coming into the neighborhood, he had his hand on his head and he was riding his bike and the little hair was flapping up, you know?
Oh, yeah.
I knew there was something weird with his hair.
You know, he had leukemia.
And three or four months later, he died on the way to church.
My dad told me my friend died.
He's in heaven now riding his bike.
And so I'm thinking, oh, I knew a bald kid.
