For example: For the longest time, growing up, I thought that the Jehova Whitnessess that would come to the house, nocking on the door, were going to kill us. My mother made suck a big up roar when they would come. We had to stop in our tracks, fall down to the floor, or hide somewhere, staying completely quit the whole time. My stomach would be filled with butterflies from my nerves. She would scare the crap out of my brother and me.
When I moved into my first apartment, why did I find myself doing the same thing? I would be scared and acting all stupid, and hinding. It's amazing what your parents can pass on to you. Of course now I know better... :0)

Mine's not the kind of stupid that yours is, but we had a camper that attached to the back of the car. One year my dad was having a bad day and didn't lock the thing on correctly. A few hours into the trip, on the freeway, I looked out the window and said; "Dad, isn't that our camper passing us?"
Sure as heck it was!!! He floored it and pushed the thing over and stopped it (among much swearing from my very loving, wonderful, dear father).
I will never forget that trip. The moral of the story is to make entirely sure your camper is locked in correctly onto the back of your car BEFORE driving no matter how many kids you have driving you crazy. Maybe he should have put the 7 of us in the camper before he hooked it up!

When I was six or seven I wrote my own letter to Santa, and I copied the spelling of words out of Newspaper advertisements. The advertisement I used had X-Mas Shopping, so that is what I wrote, thinking it a handy thing to save me from all those letters.
My Mom told me only bad people take Christ out of Christmas and they get nothing on their lists for using that term - and I didn't get anything I wanted.
This may or may not be an issue to boycott stores over, but not little children.

My parents are just barely old enough to be from the generation that moms served lard sandwiches to their kids . Lard sandwiches . Fat . LMAO . During and after the depression moms would give that to their kids to fill them up . To make them taste better , they'd sprinkle sugar on the lard . Sounds totally gross , but if you think about it , many cake icings are made with nearly the same ingredients !
My parents never gave us that but after becoming an adult , whenever my parents and I would disagree on something I'd just say "How the heck do you expect me to believe your advice when you guys were so 'brilliant' as to eat lard sandwiches' . LOL We still laugh about that .

When I was a tyke, my mom used to sew some of my clothes. If you saw some of my childhood photos, you'd be able to see that I'm wearing homemade clothes!:)
