Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Decorative Augustian Manhole

This may be a strange story, but it's a good memory of my childhood.
See, when my family lived in PA we (my cousins and I) would take walks with our Grandma when she lived in Camelot (Oh yes, that is what I called it... though I think it was the house ON Camelot) :D I choose to say, "when she lived IN Camelot" - makes the memory more fun.

Anyhoo - my cousins and myself and my brothers sometimes would take walks with our Grandma. (Now feel free to correct me if my memory is not right).  We were also obsessed with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. 

On one of these walks I remember my cousin, Kara I think, and I shouting down every sewer hole we found, "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles come out!" 

We walked,
saw a sewer,
shouted "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles come out",
listened and waited for a second,
kept walking.

Gramma just kept walking with us too and letting us amuse ourselves. Love my Gramma!

Near the end of our walk we came upon a sewer and shouted "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles come out!" and we heard walking.

WHOA, were we excited. We finally found them! There was the distinct slapping of water from footsteps echoing up out of the hole. To this day I am convinced that those four hero's live down there.

Later, I am not sure if it was my Gramma, I was told it was a sewer worker. Do they have sewer workers? If so, who does it and what do they do? And what a disappointment... :P

Anyhoo - that is my random story of the day. Good memories. :)
