Athletic Deficiency

No one accused me of having a particularly strong throwing arm! 😅🏈

Sweater

Our house growing up was traditionally cold when the temperature dropped, so it was a challenge to stay warm! Whenever I complained about being cold, my mother would tell me to "go throw a sweater on!"

Now, I had a number of knit sweaters in my clothes closet, but they were all terribly itchy!

Deal with being cold, or spend the day itching...not exactly ideal options! 🥶😖😅

Stress

Have a bad day? A good therapy session at the drumset will sort you out! 😁👌🥁

Letter

Ever heard about teachers pinning notes for parents on their children to make sure parents GET teacher notes?

It happened to me once. I don't even remember what the note was about, but I remember how embarrassing it was to have a note pinned to my jacket as I walked home from school. 😮‍💨✉️

Cheat

I'm ashamed to admit I tried to cheat on tests. 📃✏️

I was never really good at it - and was often caught. It took me a while, but I eventually realized I was better off WITHOUT my attempts at cheating. 😅

Newsstands

Newsstands! Who else misses these? True, we still have bookstores that have magazine racks, but it's just not the same.

The younger generations just won't understand...there used to be sooo many magazines, covering a wide range of subjects...and many were thick! For five bucks, you'd take home a magazine you'd spend literally hours reading through! 😁📖

The Season

Colder temperatures...strong winds...and trying to dodge leaves while walking home...

Definitely feels like Fall has arrived! 😁🍂🍁🍃

Shufflin

There's just something about the sound leaves make as you walk through them! 😊🍂🍁🍂🍁

Fire

When the temperature dropped, the house interior would generally get pretty cold. Sometimes, the best opportunity to warm up was when Dad started a fire in the fireplace! 😊🔥

Jump

Raking leaves felt like such a chore...but jumping into a huge pile of leaves was sooo worth it! 😁🍂🍁🍂🍁

Leaves

There's nothing like standing under a tree in the fall on a windy day, with leaves raining down all around you! 😊🍂🍁🍂🍁
