Weird...
Life is that, people are that.
In keeping with having a 'heapin' helpin' of corn' (ATTEMPTED humor topped with song lyrics) I thought about entitling this blog People Are Strange and doing those lyrics, but, we kinda just sorta did.
Next in mind (there wasn't no song involved) VICTOR, that's a double negative. To which, Victor might reply, uh huh and mebbe now a triple negative... Next in mind was "Dear Abby Normal" but we're kinda doing that too......
Third thought was, a LeAnn Rimes song (poor lady, her folks didn't even know how to spell that) "Doesn't Everybody"....
The idea is family weirdness... as in, Doesn't Everybody do it, live, have traditions like we did, do?" Whilst LeAnn's song does Rhyme, the lyrics are more attuned to 'Doesn't everybody want the same thing, to be loved.".... and again, THIS idea is more "in our family, we did this.... and I kinda thought everyone did it like that." VICTOR, by the time you finally get to your blog, we'll be asleep at this rate. (Thanks, no charge for the hypnotism)
"We always cut our frozen pizzas with scissors. Still do."
"We've got five girls. Mom go so tired of mornings, having to hunt to find where the hairbrush ran off to.... she simply tied it (permanently) to the bathroom faucet."
"In our family, we don't say "I love you".. we'll say "hey barf-breath" or something, if we don't insult you that means we don't love you."
"We had a designated plastic puke bowl.. didn't you?"
"Mom made us vacuum our black lab hound dog every Saturday and she didn't really even shed that much. You don't vacuum your dog?"
"We'd have a family movie night, which, included popcorn with ketchup on it. We all thought it was normal. First sleepover at a friends, movie, popcorn, I asked for ketchup, they looked at me like I was crazy."
"Special occasions, like family gatherings, my graduation party, his 50th, my dad would do a striptease to "You can leave your hat on."
Eww.
"It was butter for us to do it this way. We'd glob one piece of bread with a ton of butter, then we'd pass it around the table to butter our corn on the cob."
"Not flushing the stool all day to save on the water bill. Two panel limit when pooping."
Eww eww.
"Whenever we drove past a cemetary, dad made us hold our breath so we didn't breathe on the dead people,"
"We had reverse curfew on Friday nights.. .we weren't allowed in the house until 11pm. Mom called it a 'win-win' thing."
"We have a rubber chicken that we hide... and whoever finds it hollers "FOUND THE CHICKEN", then, they hide it."
"Whenever the phone would ring, Grandpa always answered "Yellow"... now, we all do."
"We take the Christmas Tree outside on New Year's Eve and set it on fire. Before we do, we write little notes to put on it about things we want to let go of for the new year."
"Our Christmas Eve, Grandpa would ring the jingle bells outside of the house after we went to bed. I remember the neighbor kids talking about heaing Santa's bells.. One year, he got up on the roof. I miss that guy."
"Every Christmas we'd sing Bohemian Rhapsody. It was once we ran out of carols and, the adults were a bit tipsy."
One of my two ex's, I always forget which, usedta say "Victor, not everyone is as excited about your ideas as you." Yeah, blogging solidifies that thought.Sorry, kinda. Always remember, my pay here sucks.
You say Goodbye, and I say Yellow.. yellow yellow... uumpah uumpah (find the) chicky chicky uumpah.
