apparently one of my brothers related the ken doll story i told in
this post to our mom, except he clearly remembered it as "good times." haha, i'm glad the story i tell most often to explain what jerks my brothers were is one of their fondest memories. :p
(i then told her about how they used to tell me we were going to watch the wizard of oz- a movie i loved- but would queue the tape up to a scene from
house that scared the ever-loving shit out of me and laaaaaugh and laugh when i ran away crying. (lest you think i am just incredibly gullible- the movies were on the same tape.) my mom's exact quote was "i thought you loved that movie!" and then "where was i while all of this was happening?" good question, lady!
