goose and the caps

i collected caterpillars and beer bottle caps when i was a kid. Then i would make race tracks with the bottle caps as the edges of the trackway and I'd race the caterpillars* along the course. My sister would throw gooseberries at me through the fence.

*meaning, i would race the caterpillars against each other. I would not race against the caterpillars. That would be ridiculous.
