I was a PITA to my parents when I would/because I _________. Had extreme motion sickness and would throw up pretty much anytime I was in the car for more than 30 min. Also I would never give any warning and I would just projectile vomit into the car or on my brother. I'm guessing sometimes I had a bag bc really? But there are a lot of stories where I didn't.

Share a strange or funny story from your childhood? Once I was going to dance class (I was about 7 or 8) and my mom was taking my brother for pizza while I was there and I told my brother that if he didn't eat the whole pizza I would never speak to him again. So he ate the whole pizza and made himself sick bc he was so scared I wouldn't speak to him. (He is 2 years younger than me). Wasn't I a gem?

I was a PITA to my parents when I would/because I _________. I was a super picky eater. Like, I ate about 4 things most of my childhood. My mom loves to give me a hard time about it because DH has done a great job of expanding my food preferences and I eat a lot of different things now.

Share a strange or funny story from your childhood? When I was about 10 my family went to red lobster for dinner. We were in the middle of eating and 2 servers crashed into each other right behind me. A strawberry daiquiri completely covered me from the head down and I had a lap and plate full of it. I had white blonde hair as a kid and my hair was pink. I smelled like booze. The restaurant comped my meal, which was like a $7 chicken fingers kids plate. Because picky.

I was a PITA to my parents when I would/because I talked nonstop when I was little, even to myself. I have vivid memories of laying in bed and talking and talking to myself in the bathtub.

Share a strange or funny story from your childhood? When I was five my older brother and cousin convinced me to run away with them. It was the day of my grandmother's funeral. I remember everything. We crossed a busy highway to go to a convenience store to get a snack. While there the sheriff (it was an itty bitty town) picked us up. My dad was driving around town looking for us and saw the sheriff with us. We got back to my grandparent's house and we all got the crap beat out of us.

Ooh, something to break up my mundane day!

What did you want to be when you grew up? Miss America or Miss USA. I was not a pageant kid, but I always watched the shows and thought they were the most fun and glamorous looking "jobs" ever.

I was a PITA to my parents when I would/because I _________. I love to sing and I would sing at the top of my lungs all over the house--usually making up my own songs. I was so loud and would get on my parents' nerves all the time. Now my 3 year old is doing the exact same thing.

Share a strange or funny story from your childhood? I'm an only child and would always tell my parents I wish I had a sibling. Well, when I was about 6, they got me a cat, but my mom was never an animal person and certainly not a cat person. I referred to the cat as my sister and any time my mom threatened to get rid of the cat for whatever reason, I would tell people that my mom wanted to get rid of my sister. My mom eventually told me to stop telling people that. I also tried to sew a pillow out of tissue with my mom's sewing machine. Needless to say I messed up the sewing machine and got my butt spanked. Ah, memories.

halfahippy , I can relate. I get sick even as an adult. EDIT...sorry wrong tag jewel441,

My mother would take us every year to El Paso Texas, this is where my grandmother is from. Now, the drive to TX sucks for someone who gets car sick. I would have to pack a survival kit (tylenol, extra bags, limes). So one year I not only got sick and threw up I also had a peepee accident in the car. I was probably 7-8yrs old. Not really funny at the time but I always get reminded of this story.

I wanted to be a teacher. I was for a few years and loved it. When I tried to go back last year I hated it!

Blue and still is!

Hide and Go Seek

When I wanted to do something and they wouldn't let me because I would sing: I'm henry the 8th I am, on repeat.

We used to play this game called Villagers. We were Russian villagers and were poor and hungry and always running from "them". Why Russians? Who were "they"? I didn't know then and still don't now!

Share a strange or funny story from your childhood? There was a huge crawfish cookout one year and I kept one of the crawfish in my pocket as a pet. I named it Sammy.
