“Undercover - Code Red”Leonard has been a great entertainer in this book for most of these, stories. There are plenty he isto blame for but those that he wasn’t its probably safe to say, we blamed him anyway wheneverwe could. His anger and clumsiness made it all too easy for us to do so and it was our job as rivalsiblings to do this. However, here is one story in which Leonard was the innocent bye-stander,although, had we tried harder, we probably could have come up with some way to blame him.This is Martin’s time to shine. If you read the introduction you would know Martin was born witha temperament called “slow to warm up to” some of the characteristics of people with thispersonality is they can keep themselves entertained and are quite happy to do “there own thing”.Martin was very much a child like this and still istoday. Martin’s hobbies were playing football,playing house football, playing “Subbuteo” afootball game made up of tiny figurines with aweight at its base to make them slide and move asyou flicked at them and lastly he loved making“Airfix” models. He was very good at building andgluing the tiny pieces and then painting fine detailson planes, tanks boats even historical figurines likeHenry VIII. He used special Humbrol Enamelbased paints, they were tiny little tins, whichcontained lethal sticky paint that had to be dilutedand washed with methylated spirits. He would spend hours doing these models and kept verymuch to himself, which was bliss for mum and dad because this was one less child making aracket or causing a ruckus. Martin wasn’t like Leonard at all he was calm, quiet, responsible, andpatient, at this age. He definitely did not posses the ‘clumsy gene’, except for this day, where heaccidently toppled the teeny tiny tin of red gooey paint onto the floor. We had just had thebedroom fitted with a brand new beige carpet, which was unfortunate because two weeks earlierhis red sticky paint would have blended in with the old patterned red carpet. Desperately wantingto remove the stain he used methylated spirits but the new fluffy carpet sapped this up, the redblob turned into a large smudged mess. The only way to fix this was to cover it up. Out came thebig piece of newspaper that covered all across the floor under the table where he worked. Mumand dad were thrilled to see Martin being so responsible. All their hard work insisting to put downnewspaper had prevailed. Never once did they wonder why it was taking so long for Martin tofinish these models. Weeks later upon vacuuming the room out popped the truth. Lucky for Martinthis happened not long before we moved to Israel, the house was sold and Martin had left hismark!46
