Hump Day Poll: Your Childhood Go To's
Candy Edition! I was thinking about my Mom's 50th birthday party. It was a wonderful memory because I worked really hard on it and planned it for 9 months to make it great for her. Because she didn't have a 25th wedding anniversary, I knew I was going to go all out for her 50th. I had family, friends, people from high school, co-workers (ones I knew she liked! 😁) and I loved seeing her face when she would see people she hadn't seen in a long time. One of the biggest hits that people talked about for years after were the retro candy baskets on every table. I bought ones that I knew were her favorites as well as looking at what were popular at the time. People lost their minds and were squealing like kids when they saw their favorites. I got all of the candy through Candy Favorites website and it's always so fun to look through. I was perusing the site, I was thinking of what stuff I'd want in the baskets on my table for a party like Mom's: Cher...
Weirdest place that comes to mind for me is when we were checking on the progress of our condo - new construction. I had one of those sudden urges that just wasn't going to let up but our place was still basically without any toilet yet. Thankfully the building across the street was further along and wide open. With nobody around (it was night time) I went in one of the units in the dark (no electricity yet) and wrecked the thankfully working toilet.
ReplyDeleteWe did lots of camping when I was a kid so lots of peeing in the woods which I actually preferred to the pit toilets available some places. There was one time that we pulled over to the side of the road in the middle of nowhere (mom and dad have this thing against freeways so we always took back roads everywhere - which means almost no traffic and no rest stops) and there was this rock there with a hole in the middle. It was like a naturally eroded toilet seat into open air behind some bigger rocks.
ReplyDeleteThat's my favorite joke! I used to tell it to my bestie's now deceased husband all the time. I was always laughing so hard I couldn't give the punchline and we would be rolling around laughing our heads off. Great memory we still talk about today. My aunt had a real outhouse complete with a quarter moon cutout that I used often because she had 9 kids so the bathroom was usually busy. The weirdest is when I go to the lake with my friend. Everyone anchors their boats and we stand in waist high water. I have had people tell me they just peed while talking to me! Yuck! I at least walk away to go.
ReplyDeleteI know I've pooped in the woods before on camping trips but I have a vague memory of doing so in a bucket somewhere as well. Just can't remember the circumstances. LOL
