Tuesday: Tall Tales
5 tales from my childhood, or are they? You be the judge.
- I wanted to marry a man that my dad worked with. I would be so excited when I knew he was coming to our house.
- My mom worked in the junior high I attended and I found myself at her office many times before homeroom to pick up forgotten lunch money.
- My first dog was named Cocoa. The second was Brewster, named after me, because dad used to call me Punky Brewster. (remember that show?)
- Speaking of shows, one of my favorite tv shows was Silver Spoons. My favorite part was when Ricky Shroder rode into the living room on the train.
- My brother and sister once woke me from my sleep to tell me the fire sirens would sound very shortly. They were right - we were having a chimeny fire. Thankfully, it wasn't a very serious one.
