She’s the youngest of 5 sisters, who told my mom that rainbows weren’t real. Same as unicorns, mermaids, etc. Somehow, my mom went 30-something YEARS not seeing/registering a rainbow. When my little sister or I would come home and tell her about rainbows we saw? She’d apparently pat us on the head and admire our cute imaginations. Then, when I was about 12, I was on the front porch and called her to come look at the rainbow across the street.
I didn’t believe them until Easter morning where the carrot I put out was white . My parents had me “stake” it with a toothpick. After that I put out tiny cans of V8.AdvertisementI was born with a heart defect that required surgery at a young age. So like most heart patients, my parents were told to limit my sodium intake*. Problem was, I fucking loved salt and would probably have eaten a handful of it if I were allowed.It was empty.
I ran out the door and made it 30 feet before I stepped on the bottom of a broken coke bottle and severed my toe! It was reattached but it won’t bend. Moms reaction? “I told you so!”she loooved telling people how I never listened to her and had to learn everything the hard way and think I’m a know it all. She never told people why I wasn’t supposed to go barefoot and eventually fully believed that she told me I’d cut my toe off.
She also told my brother that my grandfather invented Little Debbie’s but he called them Little Suzie’s. My brother wrote an entire essay on this in first grade and the teacher had to confront her like, what? She also told me my dad helped name Hallmark, but the original name was Hallmatthew. Believed this one for years too. We were gullible.Let’s hear those bucket list items. As always, feel free to get as zany as you’d like. I reward freaks.
I don't have a bucket list. Is it common to have one?
