LOL I could picture you as a kid stuffing the potatoes in a napkin and hiding them under a sofa cushion. and then blaming a little neg ro child.

BRIEF User ID: 39607259 United States 12/28/2013 12:54 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I used to think Dracula would come and knock down people's houses. My Mom lived in an apartment building, so I figured we were safe, but my father lived in an apartment in a house. I was worried, he found it hysterical. Quoting: ...AlloutofbubbleGum 47102542 How can an apartment be in a house? Some very large houses are converted into apartments. I never forgive and I never forget I am a licensed firearm holder. I will, under protection of law, use lethal force if attacked. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 52074123 United States 12/28/2013 01:19 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | We had a money cupboard and when you opened it, cash would fall out. My parents had a cash business and no bank accounts. Back then I thought money grew on trees. I also recall going to the store with a note, to get alcohol and cigarettes for my parents. Dad could beat mum, while a police officer watched and he said "sorry this is a family dispute" |
bTx User ID: 25713713 United States 12/28/2013 01:24 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Because of the eddy murphy "white guy in black barber shop" skit. (In where he puts on white makeup) I thought the black was the makeup because I am from Maine and had never actually seen a black man before.. My dad hired a guy named Burt from Harlem when he was roofing. Man was Burt surprised when a lil 4y/o white kid tried to wash the black off of his hands.... wherever you go, the sky is up, the ground is down, and there's f'n people everywhere |

Apparently I didn't hear it when listening to others sing either. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 42089053 United States 12/28/2013 01:35 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | There was a monster in my closet. The door was always ajar. When I went to bed, it would slither across the floor and go under my bed. I would crunch up into a little ball and cover every part of me except my face with my blanket. If even a toe was sticking out, the monster would come up from under the bed and grab it. No parts of me could be left exposed. Opposite my bedroom door were the stairs to the finished attic, which was just a big open room. I was terrified of the attic at night. Monsters up there, too. One night I woke up in the dark in the attic. I was curled up into a little ball, too terrified to move. I have no idea how I got up there as I would not have gone up there on my own at night. It took me some serious courage to get up and run downstairs to my room. The rest of the household was sound asleep. I had some really serious night terrors, and to this day I shiver at that memory. I would never, never, never have gone up there myself. We eventually moved to a different house. To this day I don't like to sleep at night. That was almost 50 years ago. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 27068907 I had that but it looked like a little gray "gumby" man in overalls. Saw him several times over a 10 day time even with the lights on. The closet also connected to the attic. Also 50 years ago. There were several "strange" sightings around the neighborhood that time. Then they stopped. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1303612 United States 12/28/2013 02:07 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | when I was a kid and we used to take family vacations my brothers and I would start arguing and fighting in the back seat of the car. My Dad would warn us a couple of times and if that failed he would pull over, get out, take his belt off, drag us from the back seat and beat the crap out of us. This done while numerous cars stream past. Needless to say, the rest of the trip was always peaceful. My Dad was my hero who loved us unconditionally but tolerated no disrespect. When he told us to do something we damn better well do it. |

Storm* User ID: 1199093 United States 12/28/2013 03:27 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I actually started a thread like this a few years ago. Lol. When I was a kid I thought that when someone almost died, and their life passed before their eyes, they were talking about future things. I thought that would be kind of cool because I would be able to see how my life would unfold. Last Edited by Storm* on 12/28/2013 03:28 PM |
