A Familiar Rock
That rock! Doesn't that rock look like the one in front of our old house? (Wow, I just said, "old house". That's the first time I've referred to it since the padres have relocated. What are we calling it now? The High School House because we all attending HS while living there? Sounds logical, but not very catchy...)
The Toilet Paper Debate
This is my attempt at mediating a peace between the two waring factions regarding The Great Debate. We simply have to understand where the other side is coming from. Those who have adopted the "sheet-under" method have a perfectly logical explanation for their actions. This group consciously chooses to drape the sheet under in order to deter their children under the age of two from streaming the toilet paper all over the house. It is natural for curious youngsters to spin the toilet paper roll forwards, but it much more difficult to spin backwards. The other half of the toilet paper using community without small children need not fear "Spinners" and find it more convenient to apply the "sheet-over" method as it is closer to the hand and in direct view of the eye.
Hula-Hoops
Chinese Hula-Hoop Guinness Book of World Records. Looks to me like there are more than 200 hula hoops! Maybe! I know Mom was a champ at the hula hoop. That's why I added this picture.
Angry Houses
I came across this picture of a wall decoration that I remember from our blue house. Every time I look at this piece of "artwork," I imagine that these houses have personalities. And those personalities are angry personalities.
Airport Security
Remember the time when Mom defied the airport security officer's suggestion to remove her shoes before stepping through the metal detector and was subsequently treated like a terrorist? That was funny.

This was a great post--brought back lots of memories. So was it Shelley Elenbaas that got stuck on our rock and Mike Fox had to lift her car off? Sometimes long flat driveways have their downfalls too...
ReplyDeleteAwesome, Bryan! So appreciated! And you hit the nail on the head with the MacGyver, the hot salsa chips left by the autistic boy that almost killed me!, the wallpaper, Facebook and no, I don't hula hoop- I was just a slightly above average 8 year old hooper! I spiritually created my comments and decided to think about it more before I answered and was so sad to realize I had never gone back and done so. I love reading what you write-don't get discouraged! :D
ReplyDeleteI'm a paper over the roll person. I find it easier to use only one hand that way.
ReplyDeleteI've never done paper under, but you've inspired me to try it. I remember when Shelley got stuck on the rock. My kids were NOT thrilled to take their shoes off for airport security, so i appreciated the cavity search. Funny links bu--ddy.
