MAKING FORTS OUT OF REFRIGERATOR BOXES

WHEN HE WAS LITTLE, HE USED TO GET TOGETHER WITH THE
NEIGHBOHOOD KIDS AND SWIPE LARGE CARDBORARD BOXES *510630/BORBO
LIKE THE KINDS REFRIGERATORS COME IN AND MAKE FORTS
OUT OF THEM BY CUTTING SLITS TO SEE AND ENTER BY.
THEY WOULD MAKE THEM IN THE ALLEY SO THE GARBAGE MEN
WOULD PICK THEM UP FOR THEM.
