Mom and food


My story begins with Mom and her having no aversions to food and will not throw any food away, to save money of course. Anyhow, mom was making rice for dinner. I went into the kitchen and I see her sifting out something from the boiling water and throwing it in the sink. I go ask what she is doing and she said, "There was just some weevil in the rice, they are dead and I am just picking them out." I freaked out yelling, "Gross!" mom's reply, "DON'T TELL THE OTHER KIDS!" I obviously went around the house and told everyone. I don't think I ate the rice?

Matt & Scout Camp


The previous story reminds me of Matt again. I remember that he would make money going to Scout Camp. He would go around finding the grossest things to eat. This was usually some nasty bugs or rotten food, things of this nature. Then he would go around asking other boys and scout leaders how much they would pay him if he ate it. Boys, well they'd offer .50 or a dollar, leaders usually much more, 10-20. All of these people did not realize that Matt would indeed eat whatever he showed them. I will have to ask Matt if he ate the items in a big production at the evening camp fire or right on the spot after a money value was settled.

Matt and Peb bee bee gun

What is the story about Matt and Peb and the Bee bee gun?

I think I remember Matt told Peb that if he shot him in the bare butt he would give him $1. Trevor was all for it. Then Matt told Peb it would hurt less the closer he was to him. So I remember them in the back yard, Peb like three feet away pulls his pants down and Matt shoots. Peb screams and cries and has a "peb spaz" on Matt. Very funny!

Sleeping arrangements...Meg's crotch beeper

I always remember that while I had my own bedroom most of my life at home, I always slept with Amy when she lived at home.

Then Megan and I slept together for years. Even though Megan would pee on me every night I would still sleep with her. Which reminds me of her Crotch beeper she would wear at night that she would snap to each side of her panties, then when she peed, it would make a loud alarm, supposed to scare her and train her not to pee her pants. Well we all know Megan and her deep sleeping, it NEVER woke her up, and she continued to pee on me...

Trevor and Chinese Prank calls

Okay, I am a bad poster on here but I will try to do better. One of my fondest memories involves Peb. He went through a little phase where as soon as he got home from school he would get out the phone book. He would go to a section of chinese names like Chang, and he would mark with an X the people he called already. Then he would call them up in his fabulous chinese accent and tell them to come pick him up "at aaarrport." And he actually got some people to agree. (at least we think...)

Holiday Inn


Anyone besides me remember this Holiday Inn play set? It was Grandma & Grandpa Bullocks and I first played with it when they lived in Concord CA. I think it might have been a new toy bought then (1975?) for visiting grandkids. I ♥'ed it!
