I was just sitting here thinking. I remember one of the funniest things that happened to me when I was a kid.

I remember being at the swimming pool with my neighbor/babysitter. He was a BIG guy, around 250 lbs. He was mean as a snake. I couldn't stand him.

Well one day we were all out swimming, me, my sister, and some neighborhood kids. I remember the babysitter guy was standing by the pool, I mean right on the friggin edge, eating a bologna sandwich. I remember walking up to him and pushing him into the pool. OH MAN. It was HILARIOUS. I can see the bread floating on top of the water. Everyone is dying laughing. Well everyone but him. His face was red. Uhoh I was in trouble.

Later that night, I go home and he told on me. My mother was pissed. LMAO. I somehow managed to blame it all on my sister Amy. HAHAHA....and the best part of it all, she admitted that she is the one who did it!!!!

I will never forget that day.

I also have this memory of using the payphone to call my dad. I remember it was only 10 cents to make a call. I stole a whole bunch of dimes from my mothers purse, ran downstairs and just called random phone numbers looking for my daddy. I was like 6 at the time.

I just wanted to share some of what I was thinking about right now.

What are some of your favorite childhood memories?

Going to the donut shop with my grandma on a morning where I got to stay with her. Sometimes we would go to the bar for a pop. Playing in the dirt, playing hide n seek at night. Searching under the dining room table for loose change when everyone was over playing poker. Spending my summers at the library. It was cool inside and I would sit and read for hours.  Not really a fond memory, but I can remember being sent to the store to buy cigarettes for my mom, and they would let you do it.

Oh wmmeden, I remember going to the store with a note from my mother and they would sell me cigarettes too! I would go in, and she would be waiting in the car sometimes. I thought I was sooo cool. LMAO

Warm summer nights, locusts buzzing in the trees, finding rolie polies and ladybugs, Christmas morning. First kiss (not quite a kid, but a great memory) Teenage years, dragging Main in my big ass car, slumber parties and hanging with my girlfriends.

Our front yard was the neighborhood hangout for the summer.. we had a big plastic pool and the slickest driveway.. we'd let the water run down the driveway and it could be used just like a slipnslide, we had a waterwiggle.. we always sold lemonade.. and my parents had BBQ's and got drunk every weekend (not bad drunks they were funny drunks) Once i walked to the back where they were and my mother had fallen through one of those old type aluminum lawn chairs, she was all tangled up in it.. my father tried to help her out of it without getting out of his own chair and got tangled up in his.. they were both caught, tangled, in histerics at each other.. and folded up in these chairs.. barely able to say "Help!" .. i just threw my hands up and walked away laughing... hehehehe my mother comes out huffin and says "why didn't you help us?" i said.. and get me tangled in those aluminum monsters.. no waaay!

Playing Freeze Tag... Red Light Green Light, Mother May I... and spin the bottle...

Water balloon fights, I would dream about going to Pistol Petes (local pizza joint with an arcade) Playing house, getting my ears pierced, eating candy until I puked on Halloween. Counting down the days until Christmas. Not being able to sleep the night before my birthday. SOOOO excited if I got ANYTHING New Kids on The Block. LMAO Playing with my babydolls, I had them all!! Going to have sleepovers at my cousins house. Going to Seaworld, and the Zoo. OH THAT WAS MY FAV.

I miss being a kid!

Going to the swap meet on sunday mornings with my grandma, eating gnocchi on christmas eve. Helping my grandma bake her famous potato chip cookies. First day of school. Show and tell. Talent shows, rollerskating....
