Dad Versus the Bird

Posted on December 5, 2005 by Amber

One fine day, my dad pulled his car into our front yard so that he could give it a good washing with the hose. Growing up, our front yard had two big aspen trees. They were perfect for climbing and us kids loved perching in them. So did birds. On this fine day as he […]

Paper Towel Confession

Posted on November 27, 2005 by Amber

Growing up, us kids caused all kinds of things to break around the house. Mostly not on purpose of course. One time, I remember we had ran out of toilet paper in the primary bathroom. Somehow, a roll of paper towels ended up in this bathroom. Uh oh. As you probably know, paper towels are […]

Another Egg Story

Posted on November 17, 2005 by Amber

My mom and I were talking about Chloe’s Egg Adventure from yesterday and it brought back to our minds a funny story from my childhood. My brother, Brian, and I liked to pick on our little sister, Karen. For the record, sometimes she didn’t deserve it. Other times, she did bring it on to herself. […]

Girl Cheese and Boy Cheese

Posted on November 5, 2005 by Amber

My mom used to make us grilled cheese sandwiches when we were growing up. My brother, Brian, thought she was calling them “girl” cheese sandwiches, so he said he wanted a “boy” cheese sandwich instead. Over time, “boy cheese” somehow got applied to a cheese sandwich that wasn’t grilled and so it was then forever […]

Quit Sitting on the Job

Posted on October 30, 2005 by Amber

This isn’t so much a funny thing that was said, but more a laughable reaction to what was said. When Karen was two, she was sitting on our yellow armchair and someone jokingly told her to “Quit sitting on the job.” She raised up her bottom and looked down to see what she was supposedly […]

The Golden Arches and McDonalds

Posted on October 30, 2005 by Amber

Okay, I am going to pick on Cindy again. We were in Cheyenne and were going to go out to eat. Eating at McDonalds was a big deal for us kids when we were in Cheyenne, because the town we lived in did not have one. Knowing this, Dad asked if we wanted to eat […]

“Amber, did you flunk Will?”

Posted on October 30, 2005 by Amber

It turns out that my mom actually has written down a few of the funny things us kids have said over the years. It is a virtual gold mine of funny things that we didn’t remember until reading the entries tonight brought them back to mind. We spent several minutes reading the entries and laughing […]

“She’s gonna get her nose pushed in”

Posted on October 30, 2005 by Amber

Well, in all fairness, I guess the first mistake in using an idiom should be my own. This is one that my mom especially likes to bring up. In 1990 when I was 12 or 13, my mom, dad, and I went to the animal shelter in Cheyenne and ended up adopting a sweet little […]

My cousin Laura

Posted on April 16, 2005 by Amber

My cousin Laura passed away this past week. She was only a year or two older than I am. I have been debating whether or not to post anything about it, because it is just so hard to find the words to convey how sad I am over the news. I am also disappointed that […]

Kitty Bowl

Posted on February 28, 2005 by Amber

My mom’s comment on my last post (regarding a picture of me and one of our kitties) reminded me of a fun (and gross) memory. When I was young, we had two cats – Sinky and Ashley. Sinky’s real name was Snowball, but Dad started calling him “Stinky” at some point and I must not […]
