robot tic tacs
Posted in the blog on November 5th, 2009This post is a birthday tribute to my sister. A few wacky recollections of what she was like growing up.
Lets see…
-She wouldn’t even sit at the dinner table if there was a newspaper anywhere near her. She had a thing with smells and couldn’t be around it!
-She was terrified of the drive thru car washing machines.
-She also hated the smell of gasoline and would cover he nose and sulk the whole time at the gas station.
-We once dared her to take a bite out of a stick of butter…and she just put some salt on it and acted like it was a banana.
-She also use to melt cheese in the microwave and eat it as a snack. (but i think i did that too)
-She fell in love with my baby bubbles, and when we got her one, she still preferred mine.
-She made me bleed more times than I made her. Once randomly biting me when we were cleaning up legos. I just bent over and I guess she didn’t like it. and WHAM! She also through a metal musical toy at my face and gave me a fat lip.
-She pooped on my leg. yep. for real.
-I told her she was adopted like a million times when we were growing up. I forgot the family name I gave her! I bet she remembers.
-In the car, my friends and I would tell her we had magic pills that would shrink us, but out bodies would be a robot version of ourselves. They were just tic tacs. And we would start it out by saying “I am Valerie robot…”
oh lordy.
HAPPY BRITHDAY!!

Ok so I remember a few of those but I don’t remember not liking the smell of gasoline…kind of smells good, and the butter thing? What on earth are you talking about?? Salt and then biting it? Are you sure that wasn’t someone else…I have a very vivid memory of alot of things…I can actually remember when that legos thing happened and I was probably 2 or 3. Which sorry about that…children have tantrums about dumb things. By the way, the family name was the Sneathens and adopted from wolves. The poop thing I don’t remember, just remember y’all talking about it..I was too young and I remember something else…Saxaphone dinner
