A little known fact about me!!

[taylor]

As a child, I scared my little brother into hysterics! I convinced him that he drowned the Tidy-Bowl man.

[ana]

The worst thing I did was when I was a pre-teen, and I will be pleading the fifth on that. I may be 43, but the statute of limitations do not run out on Momma and Daddy's law. Boy they would still tan my hide! LOL!!!

[taylor]

Ana, I did get my hide tanned, but it was worth it! Absolute classic!

[ana]

That was funny Taylor. I had the toughest hide in the county when I was little. I wasn't mean just full of good old fashioned mischief. I got into everything. I hid in the bathroom at my aunts house and waited for her to find me. Well I went to sleep. She searched all over the neighborhood for hours looking for me. All the while I was stretched across her toilet fast asleep. God rest her soul, she never forgot that day, nor did she let me forget it and how she wore out a brand new pair of shoes looking for me. I don't recall getting a spanking for that one, but may very well have. I think she was just happy to have found me.

I should and could write a book about my childhood antics. I think I must have be related to Tom Sawyer or Huck Finn. ;D

I use to collect soda bottle caps (out of the drink machines that had a opener). when my sister would go out on a date, i would strip her shetts and put the caps, sharp side up, under the bottom sheet. (That was back when you had to use an opener to open a soda bottle)
When she came home and went to bed, she had to get up and strip her bed of sheets. (not shetts)
I use to get beat up a lot from her. She was 9 years older than me.

Maybe you were related to Tom and me to Huck!

Sometimes, I wonder how my brother made it to adulthood.

And then there are days I wonder how I made it!

[ana]

I think that God was pretty busy back in those days. LOL.

[taylor]

Truthfully, I wasn't that bad, but I did give my brother lot's of grief!

I think the most ridiculous, retarded, insane thing I ever done was on my 18th birthday.....

A couple friends of mine took me out on my birthday. They told mama and daddy that it would be a fancy dinner, then a late movie, then maybe trip to Waffle House for a coke and maybe a snack. Well....it wasn't exactly the truth.

Yes, they took me out partying, dancing and drinking. Yes, I was underage, but I hadn't been carded since I was 15-16. And at least I was smart enough to make sure that one of them would not be drinking so they could drive.

So off we went. I think we hit every bar on the island and in town that had a dance floor! Country or Rock, it didn't matter - I could dance to it all. I had a great time!!! But, with all the dancing, I also got thirsty....kinda chugged a few of them drinks.

By the time they took me home, which was of course, a bit past my curfew, I was pretty well intoxicated. I had enough sense to take off my shoes so they wouldn't make any noise when I walked up on the porch. Tip-toe, tip toe, the front door was locked!

I decided there was no way I was going to wake them up in my state of mind, so I decided to go in through my bedroom window. I found a cinder block, got my window open,and very quietly climbed into my room. I very quietly lowered the window, put my shoes away, and got out of my dress clothes and into my night gown. All was perfect! I made it and didn't make any noise! They were still asleep! Yay me! Oh, yeah, I was feelin' pretty good and pretty proud! The I realized I had to go to the bathroom.
So I tip-toed out of my room, down the hall, into the bathroom and took care of things. I even closed the lid and covered it with a towel to keep down the flushing noise! As I was sneaking back down the hallway, it all struck me as funny. I started giggling and before I could stop myself, I yelled out "HEY, YA'LL, I'M HOME!!!"

I'll leave the rest up to your imagination, but I will say I never again found the need to go partying as long as I lived at home!

[ana]

Thats funny. Bet it wasn't funny for long that night though. Ahhh those were the good ole days. We were married by the time I turned 18 so I had a guilt free adult birthday.

[coosa]

I use to sneak my girlfriend into the drive in cause she never had any money. She would get in the trunk while I drove in and paid. we never got caught! She was always borrowing money from me and never paid me back once. I bet she owed me thousands!! But she was my best friend!!

"I started giggling and before I could stop myself, I yelled out "HEY, YA'LL, I'M HOME!!!"

I love it Taylor, I am still laughing. Tears in my eyes.
What is it about drinking that makes folks so brave and silly?

[2cedarschick]

Just like you are the world's best dancer when you have been drinking!
