My dad used to love to tell embarrassing stories about me :) . His favourite was to tell people I would make out with the television when ever Mr. Rodgers was on. I wasn't really making out with it though -_- just kissing it .. And I was only three. Another one he liked to tell ... If they ever left me out of there sight when I was a toddler I'd take of all my clothes sneak out the front door and start running down the side walk, naked . I never crossed the road though so I was a good kid.
When my kids were little, we had the best couch EVER. It was in the family room and it was 9 feet long. I could stretch out in that thing and it was so comfortable. I used to fall asleep on my back with my hands crossed on my chest, just as someone was laid out in a casket. One day, while napping, my kids stuck a long stemmed flower in my hands and sprinkled rose pedals around me. They were all kneeling around me and doing that fake kid cry, like I was dead. There's a picture of that somewhere around the house.
I hear them tell that story at every family gathering.
About 35 years ago Mrs Didge was in bed with some ailment or other and I was roasting a chicken for the kids' lunch. I'd just taken it out of the oven with a thick oven cloth wrapped around it and the door bell rang. Stupidly, still holding the chicken in the baking dish, I went to see who was calling but stopped on the way and put the thing down on the lounge chair before answering the door.
I don't remember who it was -- but it didn't take long for them to leave. Then, as I turned back into the room something the kids were watching on TV caught my eye and I sat down to watch it.
And set a world record for leaping up again.
They've never let me forget that I sat on a chicken and, yes, they still talk about it from time to time.
I wish I have one.
That time I sat on my cousins tonka truck and squished it. Mind you that back in the day, those things were made of metal. I was a fat kid back then.
They like to tell people about when I was 9, when I had a huge crush on Leonardo DiCaprio and how I would watch Titanic 10 times a day
My mum often likes to bring up the time we went to visit a university for an open day on the train. I'd gone to use the loo on the train, but I'd never been on one before and didn't notice the 'lock door' button. While I was in there, a guy about the same age as me opened the door and saw, well, more of me than I would've liked, if you get what I mean! My mum witnessed the whole incident, and still teases me about it to this day!
My dad and his cousin Dwayne
Took two horses from their farm
And rode them , for what they said a few miles , turns out it was about 10 miles .. My dad would visit his grandmother for the summer
And Dwayne lived there ... So ...
When they got back , my great grandpop was very upset ...
My dad had to go back home , and Dwayne spent the next 2 months cutting brush .. There was no weed walckers - he had a cycle to cut brush
From sun up till sun down ...
Snakes , bees , poison Ivey, poison
Sumac , poison oak ,,, hot sun
Even when it rained , he was cutting brush .,.
If you hear my dads cousin tell it
It's way funnier then I've told it.
My mom always tells me a story of when she was a little girl and she had to share a pair of skates with only one key.
