I'm getting this done early in the day, lest I forget and am forced to turn the posts into Which One Wednesday.
From last week the questions are:
1. I remember my childhood birthdays with great fondness.
2. A pet snake was given to me by an ardent admirer.
3. I own and treasure a positively hideous scarf and wear it with pride.
What ties these three questions together is gifts.
1. False. When I think of my childhood birthdays I am ashamed. I was a rather bratty child who was not happy with the gifts given to me. Most of the pictures taken of me on my birthday show me red eyed from crying. I also remember a couple of birthdays when I was spanked for my naughtiness. On one of those I had been given a bicycle. (Which I did actually like. I was spanked that day for some other selfish motiviation I committed.) When my Papafather came home my mom asked me if I was going to tell him what I got that day. I was horrified! I couldn't tell my beloved Papafather that I had been naughty and received a spanking! My mother had to clarify that she meant my birthday gift.
2. True. Be careful what you coo over. A co-worker had a pet Ball Python and I was holding it and admiring it. It was a very handsome snake. At any rate, another co-worker who, unbeknownst to me, had a crush on me. He decided that he would buy the snake and give it to me as a gift as a token of his affection. While I appreciated the snakes finer qualities (much more than the ardent admirer) I had no desire to own one! I took care of him as best I could. Eventually I gave him to my sister who was very keen on him and she named him Monty. (Get it? Monty Python?) Okay, moving on...
3. True. One year for Christmas my Papafather gave me the ugliest scarf I have ever seen. It is striped with about six different deep hued colors. I still think it's atrocious. I tried everything I could think of to get rid of that scarf. I left it at school, on the bus, anywhere I thought I could dispose of the thing. Everyone knew it was mine and when they would find it they would give it back to me. I did own other pretty scarves and when I would forget them somewhere they were never given back to me. I now treasure that scarf and I do wear it with pride. It came from Papafather and I've grown up a little since then.
Oooh boy. Time to come up with three more.
1. I learned to drive in a lavendar Honda Civic.
2. The first time I drove I was 12
3. I once got my mom's car to go 115 mph.
Which one of the above is false?
