"Begaged"


a similar Coke can ring to the one Robert gave me  
  minus the tab
When we were small my brother Robert and I would play outside our 1st house in Belfast. One day when we were out playing Robert ran into the house and announced to my Mum that we had got “begaged”; as he'd found a Coca Cola can ring down the side of the kerb. He had put the Coke ring on my finger and held my hand. My Mum burst out laughing and said you cant be “begaged” to your sister, people don't do that. Looking back it was one of the sweetest things my brother had ever done – that's how close, in all innocence, a brother and sister could be.Isn't that cute !
