Things We Did When We Were Kids

There are times when I sit back and think about how old I am, how far I've come, and the difference between me now and me then. I'm sure there are times that you think about it also...but how hard do you laugh when you think about yourself as a child?
Sometimes I call my brother, sister or mother and just laugh at all of the stupid mess we used to do. Have a chuckle, read below.

When you were a kid, did you...

* Wake up at 6AM on Christmas Day, wake your parents, run to the Christmas tree, scan the surrounding to count just how many gifts were yours, tear through the wrapping paper in lightening speed, play for 30 minutes, and then back in the bed sleeping at 7:15AM?

* Your favorite cartoon aired on Saturday morning. Just how early did you wake up? Wasn't this the only day of the week that your body was automatically programmed to wake up on time?

*Had a pet - Did he/she eat your vegetables?
No pet - Did your veggies end up in a crumpled napkin, then flushed down the toliet after you showed your parents that your plate was clean?

* Pick your nose in public? (And I won't even bother asking what you did with the boogies once you got a hold of them.)

* Pull out a wedge-E, no matter where you were, lol?

* Try your parents in a grocery store or mall? Fall out in the middle of the floor, get beat in the exact same place where you fell, get beat again when you got home, then once more when the other parent caught wind of your public tantrum?

* DON'T FRONT... Even if you didn't know how to swim...If you've ever gotten in a pool, you've pee'd in one...it's happened at least once. LMBO!!

* Hide a test or report card?

* Skip school, get caught, and lie about it anyway?

* If you've ever owned a tape cassette and a boom box, I'm sure you've played that particular cassette until the tape (on the inside) almost popped all in effort to memorize the lyrics to the song.

* Hate to take a shower or a bath, so you just ran the water over your body, not use soap, and actually think that your parents couldn't smell your funk? And some of you never even let the water hit your body, you just let the water run so your parents can hear it.

* How about eating the Wonder bread? No one ever eats the first two and the last two pieces of bread in the loaf.

THIS IS MY PERSONAL FAVORITE!! MY SISTER, BEST FRIEND AND I WERE ON THE PHONE LAST NIGHT LAUGHING AT THIS ONE!

CLASSIC AMBER, RAMEL, AND ASHLEY!!

We were responsible for cleaning up, but the focus was on vaccuming the house this particular time. WE HATED CLEANING UP, AS MOST KIDS DO. So, we came up with a brilliant idea! With my mother, she ALWAYS had to see the lines in the carpet, this was proof the job was done.
Time to vaccum...we would walk in and out of the rooms, pick up the visible pieces of paper, dust, hair, etc... Then we moved the dining room table, chairs, and coffee table to the side. Put on our roller skates, tied them up, and roller skated in straight lines across floor.

DONE!!! THE FLOOR HAD LINES, AND MOM THOUGHT WE VACCUMED, LOL!!! It just occured to me last night, that we did more work trying to scheme then it would have been just to vaccum, LMBO!!!

GOT STORIES OF YOUR OWN? PLEASE SHARE!!!

AMBER ANIQUE :)
