If anyone has read about me, they know my childhood was not all ‘peaches and cream’
but it did have its moments………
my brother and I are 6 years apart…..I used to pick on him ALOT……I would get mad and threaten him with all sorts of horrible things. and once I was really mad becuase he got a kitten for his birthday…….
I told him oh well, I didnt care you gota stupid kitten,,,,,, mom feels sorry for you, bcuz
your ADOPTED…….
yes, I convinced my 5yr old brother, he was adopted. I also convinced him,if he ever found out he was
adopted, then he would be sent back, becuase the family wouldnt want him, if they knew, HE knew about it
this went on for awhile…..
then one night our parents ‘sat us down’ to have atalk….we were gonna take a FAMILY vacation
to disneyland, in the summer….and go see family while in san diego (where we moved from)
My brother immediately started sobbing,
holding his head in his hands.
he says,,,,’the whole fffaammilllyyy???
mom said Yea, the whole family, just us…itll be so much fun
he cried harder and harder……shes looking at him like WHAT could be so terrible??
I immediately start glaring,,,,,looking at him, like youll go back!!!
mom said,,,what could be soooo bad????
hes sobbing and crying…….
I dont getttaaa gooooo..
mom says WHY wouldnt you go???
he says……IM not part of the family,,,,,,,,and now that I know, I cant go on vacation
and now I told I have to leave!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My mother KNEW immediately,,,,,what I had done……..oh yea,,, got a whippin,, but in my mind,, it was worth it.
my brother and I are very close now…..and this story is ONLY funny if you lived a childhood like mine.
if you didnt think it was funny, thats fine.
our dad is a mechanic, adn used to work pretty close to where we lived…..we were home all day in the summers
alone….
one summer day…we decide to throw water balloons at cars going by while hiding in the bushes
My lil brother would stand up tall, and HUCK that water balloon just as far as his lil arm could throw.
this went on for hours….
some cars would stop, some wouldnt, some woudl honk,
some people would scream obscentities at us,,,but we were in the bushes,and knew how to hide REAL good…thats how we made it to adulthood! anyways
more and more water baloons, we got braver and braver
we both chucked one at the same tiem at a green car,,, it looked brand spanking new
the car SLAMMED on the brakes in the CENTER of the hightway….
a grumpy man got out yelling
where the F are you two??? I KNOW its you (our names) I peek thru the leaves,,,,
it was DAD
holy hell,,,,,,,,dad,,,,,,,test driving a car the lot had for sale
we stayed hidden……he was saying ‘come out now I wont be mad" my brother wanted to go
Iheld him to the ground…….
we never came outta the bushes,,, pretty soon traffic piled up and he gave up……we picked up every trace of balloon
before he came home..
he knew it was us, but couldnt prove it………LOL
I know my son was sent ot me as payback for all the crap I pulled…….the pediatrician even told me a ‘difficult’ child is an intelligent one, and a rewarding one………..good thing he’s cute!!!! lol I think children look like thier parents as a DEFENSE mechanism…….
