I feel like I've "borrowed" a lot of blog posts lately. But, when I saw
Steph's post of tales about young Steph, I started to comment. The thoughts rolling in my mind for the comment were so much fun that I thought I'd share my own post. Other bloggers are so clever and give such good ideas!
When I was young...
- I refused to eat fast food hamburgers, but I loved Jack-in-the-Box tacos (quite possibly the greasiest item choice on the menu).
- I had a pony named Bingo.
- I gave my dolls mohawks and painted nail polish on their faces. Pretty little girlie dolls became punk rock dolls.
- I remember swinging on my swingset and singing "Sandy" from Grease at the top of my lungs.
- I watched the premiere of MTV with "Video Killed the Radio Star" and was an MTV fanatic for years.
- I wanted to be a radio DJ, then a MTV VJ, then a talk show host.

- I rode my bike, roller skated, played with neighborhood kids, and ran through the sprinkler.
- I had floral wallpaper on my bedroom walls.
- I stayed up past my bedtime to read.
- I walked in my sleep.
- I picked up aluminum cans from the side of East Texas backwoods roads, and my grandfather and I would take them to the recycling center for pocket change.
- I went on family vacations that usually included a Texas river, a canoe, and a inner tube.
- I thought a snake at a cemetery sitting on a tombstone was fake and signified that the person buried there died of a snake bite. (When I asked the grown-ups about it, a BB gun was retrieved from a pick-up truck, and the snake needed its own burial.)
- I was the teacher's pet in 3rd grade. I thought Mrs. Stewart was the best teacher ever.
- I liked all kinds of music from Hall & Oates to Charley Pride, Barry Manilow to Michael Jackson, George Strait to KISS, Duran Duran and more.....
What were you like when you were young??
