Hair Spray

Yes, it's true...you can use hair spray to "take care" of a cricket.

As a kid, I thought squishing a cricket was disgusting. When I spotted one in our bathroom, I panicked and reached for the nearest thing I could find...an aerosol can of hair spray! It definitely took care of the cricket, but it also glued it to the floor! 😖

And yes, I just left it there for someone else to take care of. My mother was pretty mad when she found it later and struggled to pick up. 😅

Clothes Shopping

Having to tag along with my mother while she went clothes shopping was brutal! It seemed like she had to look at EVERY rack in the department store! It didn't take very long for me to try and find some entertainment by deciding to be a bit mischievous! 😅

Chin Ups

Chin ups! Why did they make us do them in Physical Ed? I mean, I remember like only one or two kids in class that were able to make even one chin up.

I definitely couldn't...I had no upper arm strength!

I don't know why I thought trying a bicycle kick would be any help! 😅

Siblings

That feeling when your sibling stayed home from school, YOU still had to go, AND on top of your regular school responsibilities, you now had to take home any assignments your brother or sister missed! 🤒📚

TV

It was always an added bonus when your sister enjoyed watching the same TV shows as you! 😎📺

Candy


 Once a month the family would drive up to our grandparents' house for the day. On our way, we'd stop by a local newsstand, and our parents would let us pick up a a candy bar.

We'd get so excited over the chance to have some candy! 😁🍫

Our choices varied, but my sister frequently picked up a Whatchamacallit bar and I usually gravitated to a 3 Musketeers. 😊

Sis 2


My sister is a few years older, so while growing up, she always had an advantage over me. Whether it was playing cards, board games, or simple acts of athleticism, she was always better. 😮‍💨
