Things you said as a kid and laugh at now.

Most of my childhood is gone. Occasionally an image will flash into my mind's eye and I'll go, oh sure, I remember that. Mostly it's good things. I remember trying to fly. Grandma dressing as a witch and scaring the hell out of us at Halloween. I can't for the life of me remember saying anything.

Sorry.

When I grow up, I'm going to spend all my money on army men.
 
I promised to buy my grandma a washing machine, and I did.
 
My memories revolve more around music lyrics that got screwed up.


Kenny Roger's - Lucille -

You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille
with four hungry children and a crop in the field. . .


Was often sung:

You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille
Four hundred children and a crop in the field. . .


:rolleyes:
 
I loved the "Long Ranger", only to realize sometime after learning to read that he was in fact the "Lone Ranger".
 
If I could just make $5/hr when I get older.

My old man made $5/hour. But in 1960 $5 was worth $35 of todays dollars.

Whats really depressing is my old man's money sense. He could make gold like Midas but had zero sense about land. In 1960 people offered him land in lieu of cash, and he refused every offer. Land back then was $1000/acre, today it sells for a million an acre. Dad said that only a goddamn fool or a Yankee would want that land.

His father said the same about lots on the Gulf islands. In 1925 they sold for $50 each, and he wouldnt buy one of them.
 
I hated attending school when I was a kid and remember telling my sister that i'd much rather be working and making money than sitting in class all day.
 
I remember telling my mom I would take care of her after she and my dad would get in fist fights. That was before I knew she was a crazy bitch who would fuck me over every chance she got.
 
I want to drive a truck when I grow up.
I should of kept my fucking mouth shut.
 
I wanted to be a CIA ninja.

Specifically Snakeeyes.

Edit: I also wanted to be Batman- obsessively for a few years. I had a batman costume and my little brother had a robin costume- which, given my Batman/Robin and/or Batman/Nightwing fetish now, is probably really disturbing.
 
If you eat the watermelon seeds, one will grow in your belly.

From my son:

"Mom, drinking and driving is against the law" (while I'm at the Timmy's drive thru ordering coffee)

And he forgets the name of the Escape, and calls it "The Get Away"
 
I don't remember saying anything funny, but I do remember doing some funny things.

When my daughter was 5yrs old a girlfriend of mine and I were sitting around griping about our jobs and my daughter said, "Mama, you said that I could be anything I want to be. Why can't you?"

Kicked our butts into gear.

Um....just remembered that I called my dad a dildo when I was 10 yrs old. Had no idea what I was really calling him.

Oh LORD....my sister did the same thing! :D


...and my goof of a dad used to call shopping "shop lifting" and when I was asked in school what we did over a weekend, I quite cheerfully said "shoplifting", much to my teachers dismay.
