Answer the question if you have or have not ever done said thing….feel free to go into explanation, or simply answer the question. Then, feel free asking a question of your own…

Have you ever:
Held a tarantula?

nope nope nope

No way! I hate spiders. A long time ago, at a zoo down south, a guy was showing one to everyone coming through the front doors. He had to use both hands to hold it. He asked me what it made me think of. I told him a really big shoe! He didn't think that was too cool but he got it away from me.
Have you ever:
Tried to match fabric for an outfit because you didn't have enough to make it?

Have you ever embarrassed yourself at a social event?

I’ve embarrassed myself in public many, many times. It’s kinda my thing.

Have you ever stolen something. lol

My whole life has been an embarrassment!

Bahahahahahaaaa. Welcome to the club.

I put a small potato in my boot sleeve as a kid to steal it for absolutely no reason.

Who has stolen a small veg?!.🦢

Do eating grapes in the produce section count?
I’ve felt culture a long time over that! Haha. I saw others
Doing it and followed suit. One day it hit me. I wasn’t tasting to see if they were ripe, I was just snacking.

Have you ever called in sick when you weren’t sick?

I always assumed mental health days counted :-)

Have you ever mistaken a baby boy for a baby girl or vice versa?

@ruth yes I have called in sick when I wasnt. Mental health days.

@scout Yup I have lol. More than I care to admit lol

If people would do the right thing and put blue on boys and punk on girls, it would help us all out and not be so embarrassing for the parent. Hahaha

My mom left me outside a bank with my little brother in a stroller to watch him while she went in.

I was about 5 yrs old. This was not unusual back in the 50s.

Well what was probably 10 minutes seemed like hours so I left him and went into the Bank looking for her.

I dont remember what happened but I guess she found him in the stroller where I left him. He grew up ok.

Anyone abandon a kid sister or brother when you were supposed to watch them?!

E that is too funny.

Being an only child, I never had the privilege of abandoning a sibling. 😉

I have 7 siblings that I’ve considered abandoning. Hahaha. I did have a parent who I was teaching that had 5 kids. Nice kids, great family. She told me that over the weekend that she loaded the kids up to go to the library. When she got there, she unloaded the kids and realize one wasn’t there. She hurriedly got the kids back in the car and drove back home and there was her 8 year old daughter, sitting on the steps. She got out of the van and ran to her daughter and her daughter said “it’s ok you forgot me mama.” Hahaha. Luckily the 8 year old was old enough and had good neighbors watching out for her. This was before cell phones and all that.

That has to be the worst feeling as a parent!
