I remember when..............
Well Steve, it's funny that you started this thread. We have an ever growing tradition in our family when we get together at holidays. The tradition is that you have to tell a story from your past that the parents, grandparents or whoever is there probably doesn't know!! Now that we're all grown, we can share a lot of the stupid stuff that my brother and I did as young 'un's and we all have a very good laugh. My Mom loves to hear about our shady past, a lot of things she had absolutely no clue about, and I think , Earth to Mom!!!. PM me for the story of "Robbie the Robot", one of her favorites!!!
One of my son's favorites is called "Safety Precautions", and involves the use of firecrackers, gasoline, model cars and toy soldiers, and of course absent parents. I just hope he doesn't try this at home!!! I think I've created a monster!!
Thanks for the thread Steve, I love readin' them all!! Geof
