1. My sister and I used to play a game called bear: My dad would pretend he was a bear, and sometimes he'd hibernate then we'd try to capture him and shoot him with tranquilizer guns, or throw a blanket on him. He'd wake up and then throw us around and beat us up. Best game ever!!!!
2. One blizzard, my dad and I built an igloo that was hollow inside and we could sit in it.
3. In kindergarten I got in trouble for waving at my reflection in the tv screen and had to sit in time out.
4. While riding a racking pony, we went through a door built only for people and my legs didn't get ripped off. (Obviously the plan wasn't to go through that door)
5. The hand that rocks the cradle was the first rated R movie I ever saw. I saw it at my friends house and I wasn't supposed to. I hasn't scared of the movie, but I was terrified my parents would find out. My sister held it over my head for weeks to get what she wanted until I finally cracked and told my parents.
6. My sister and I used to chase each other around our house and hit each other really hard with our riding crops.
7. I had a neighbor who was at least 15 years older than me and he was really hot. When he would wash his car I'd ride my bike by his house and he would spray me with water. Other times I would try to get a jump rope stuck in my bike or something and have him to come and help me. I learned a lot of lessons about love during those times lol :)
8. I went to an Archie Tally basketball camp one summer and had dreams of being on the harlem globetrotters.
9. I was obsessed with the Chicago Bulls. I had nicknames for every starter and I would rate who looked the best each game :)
10. My dad's ankles pop when he walks and when my sister and I were doing something we weren't supposed to we'd listen for the ankles and be able to stop before we got caught.
11. My favorite stuffed animal's name was Fuzzball.
12. I remember the first test I ever failed was in 5th grade it was a social studies test and my teacher let me take it again. I studied by putting my notes on tape and listening to them over and over again. I got an A ... and a fabulous study method for the rest of my life.
13. The hardest test I ever took was 8th grade Geography at Charleston Catholic. We had to know and label every country in the world and four facts for each of those countries. My sister helped me study. Our study method coming up with hand motions for each fact and doing it all while jumping on the trampoline. "A"
14. I have a signature birthday picture pose.
15. Every night that we were in Harrisville our grandparents before bed would take us out on the porch swing wrapped in blankets and we'd swing and sing I'll fly away.
16. I gave my babysitter Chicken Pox and I also gave them to my sister- she got them twice!
17. I had a Barbie room growing up that was allowed to not be cleaned up. My sister and I would have soap opera type stories that would go on for days and days. Our Barbie cars also had a fly button.
18. I used to suck my two middle fingers.
19. On Sunday mornings my dad either made us Cocoa Wheats or Cinnamon Toast.
20. I got a giant stuffed Dumbo as a bribe to stop sucking my fingers, I stopped for the rest of the vacation and once we were back home I started again. My sister is still bitter. I think she is just mad that I was that smart!
21. Once while at the Greenbier (not the hotel, we had a house on the river) I thought I was going to drown and turns out when my sister yelled to stand up the water didn't even come up to my knees.
22. My dad would go hunting every year after thanksgiving in Harrisville and I always got to tag along, it became our time, we'd play the Christmas lights game the whole way there and back. Trying to spot the most houses with Christmas lights. We played again this year on Christmas the number of people who decorate is vastly lower.
23. I was obsessed with Blue Raspberry Slush Puppies.
24. We created our own road trip game called: Cow, Horse, Dog. Its still my favorite.
25. I once married my neighbor in a beautiful outdoor ceremony. The aisle was made of brown paper bags from Foodland. Then my sister locked us in our garage and told us we couldn't come out until we kissed because we were on our honeymoon. Since we wouldn't kiss we were in there a long time but then I broke us out and ran inside crying to my mom.
