One day, my "uncle" has to send four unskilled laborers to work on a site a few miles away. This group included my brother and me, another kid who was a few years older, and a guy with a ponytail who seemed way too old for this job. He was probably 25 and the appropriate age and scruffiness. The four of us piled into Ponytail's car, with my brother and me in the back seat. We had known these other two guys for all of 30 minutes and probably never even learned their names. 2/7
