  • Best gift...I was that spoiled kid who's parents bought me a car.  It was a 12 year old car for my 20th birthday after someone totaled my car, but still.  It was very nice of my parents.

    Worst gift...a guy I started dating off a internet dating website took something I mentioned way too far and on the second date gave me a stuffed animal of Superman (cape and all) and a poem that was a play on that song "would you still call me Superman".   As a 28 year old woman, what on earth was I supposed to do with that?!!  I ended up donating it to Toys for Tots at Christmas. 

    What I miss most about being a kid? Not having to work! LOL.  And that you can be silly without people going "How old are you? So immature."  I am a child at heart and still act like it sometimes and hate getting the side eye.  Enjoy life a little more people!   

    The first thing I bought with my own money was a brown leather jacket from Wilson's Leathers in 8th grade.  My parents said I didn't need a leather coat so I saved babysitting money for four months to buy it for myself. 

    In the last week, I learned that my grandmother wanted to give birth to my dad on her husband's birthday.  And being an uneducated 18 year old she took a bunch of laxatives to induce labor.  (EW, and WTH?)  I don't know if it had any effect since it was around her due date anyway but my dad was born at 1:30am the next day.  My Mom told me that story as we were talking about how so many people in my family share birthdays...but not my dad.

    My parents love to tell about the first over night they left my brother and me home alone (they were just in downtown Chicago 45 minutes away and had a neighbor checking up on us).  I was 9 and my older brother was 12.  We tried to make green slime (ala Nickolodean's "You Can't Do that on Television".  He poured it on my head and it turns out it was liquid play doh.  We were cutting bits of slime out of my hair for a few years!
