Strange Memories As a Child

Have you ever thought back to moments as a child that seemed normal to you because you were so naive to the world? Well I had quite a few things that I didn't realize for strange until I'd tell someone and they'd give me that "squinty-low-browed-your-strange" look. So here are a few of my stranger childhood memories, which by the way I still think are TOTALLY NORMAL!

1. Getting a Ouija Board for Christmas from Grandma Scully

2. Cleaning the inside of the toilet with a wet rag (didn't know toilet brushes existed)

3. Taking the Twister game mat and putting water all over it in the basement to use as a slip n slide!

4. Sharing my entire 5 year old Winnie-the-Pooh birthday cake with my best friend Ceaser, the bull mastiff (dog). Let's just say Ceaser was a little "loose" after all that cake, HAHA!!

5. Walking to school in the blistering cold wearing the ugliest Napolean Dynamite boots (moon boots) that you've ever seen. Not only that but the boots didn't even work correctly so we had to wrap our feet in grocery bags then put them into the boots. Needless to say, friends were scarce in those days.

6. (sign of being young and stupid) My dad always sat in this brown wicker rocking chair, and I would stand on the side of it, with my feet on the curved rocking piece of the wood, then hold on to the arm of the chair while he rocked I would ride, and pretty regularly at least one foot would slip off and my toes were get crushed. I guess that shows how much I loved my Dad, I'd go through regular pain just to hang out next to him...awww!

7. My sister and I creating a game called "STINKY SOCK"! Oh MAN, this game was the best! We shared a room and had bed conjoined in the corner by a desk/table of sorts. One of us would grab a stinky/dirty sock and run over to the other ones bed and try to touch them with it...all the while the one getting attacked by this infamous sock is covered by their blanket, and trying to make sure there are no holes exposed where the stinky sock could enter. Once they were touched with the sock, it would be their turn to get REVENGE!! haha!

8. My sister and I climbing a tree. I let her climb up first (she's in a dress with tights, mind you) and I follow behind. Then she decides she has to pee REALLY bad, and so as I'm racing down the tree in hopes that I won't get pee'd on - there it goes - pee trickling down her tights...HAHA! Love you sis!

...more to come...
