MY DAD WENT COW TIPPING.

[mein_einsamkeit]

r u srs

[talks_to_nisse]

Regularly. No lie. He also tried to toboggan down a driveway that barely had half an inch of snow on it.

[mein_einsamkeit]

We used to do that. Well, sans the snow, 'cos it's Southern California; but we thought it was a good idea to try to get those round sleds or trash can lids and fly down a somewhat damp hill...

[pride_of_kiwi]

Dude, your papas were bad-asses.

My mom's the one who went cow-tipping. And dated two men at once. A super wealthy, blonde-haired blue eyed six foot something football God during the weekdays.

My biker, long haired quasi-chef rebel dad on the weekends. WE SEE WHO WON THAT BATTLE.

This from the woman who raised by a professional Santa freaking' Claus (Grandpa was Santa, Grandma was a licensed Mrs. Claus and my now Jehova's Witness Aunt was a professional elf) and coos at every family animal movie ever made.

...I don't know how that works out.

There are... too many instances of Kuro family hijinks. I-I'll just leave it at that -3-

[meiume]

... I love you.

[man_nav_naudas]

A-and all of my horrendous typos even-? '3'

[longlivesealand]

I could never stop...

My mother moved from England to Texas. I would love to hear what her accent sounded like then... only because hearing little children speak in London accents is so cute, but throw in a "y'all" and it all goes to Hell.

Dad was the youngest of five brothers. Mayhem. He also thinks he's hilarious. He's the kind of guy who laughs at his own jokes. Whenever I complain about my car, he liked to tell me that he had to "walk uphill both ways in knee deep snow".

This is the guy who played in clouds of pesticide with his brothers.

My dad was the captain of Varsity baseball.

My Mom is A trekkie.

I will never forgive my parents for selling our Beatles records at a yard sale.

[man_nav_naudas]

Dude, they did what? FFFFF... My dad will never forgive my grandmother for selling his baseball cards at a garage sale way back when. S-so much money gone...

HOW MUCH OF A TREKKIE? :I

[talks_to_nisse]

My grandparents left my aunt behind at a reststop during the move from Texas to Michigan.

Your mom must have confused a fair amount of people as a child.

[das_vedanya]

BEATLES RECORDS > BASEBALL CARDS.
Seriously. We found this huge stack of records and a record player in storage... and when I found no Beatles records, they told me what happened to them.

LIKE SHE'S SEEN EVERY SINGLE EPISODE AND MAKES REFERENCES ALL THE TIME. I COME HOME FROM SCHOOL AND SHE'S WATCHING THE NEXT GENERATION IN THE FAMILY ROOM.

you can only do so much with normal parents living in southern cali... no cows...

[whiskey_sunday]

Dad broke windows into his room by trying to do tricks with his bike and the half pipe. Somehow always landed on his bed. He also liked making things go boom with house hold items. Like dry ice.

Mom brought home all kinds of animals-frogs, fish, and birdies loved their pool-... She also jumped off the roof of her neighbor's house into said pool. When the neighbors complained, she found ways of slashing water into their bedrooms... Who ever designed that house didnt think about the pool nor possibility of water being splashed inside the house.

one of their earlier dates they got a crappy waiter, and my mom carried a hell of a lot of nail glue around her back in the day... So to thank the waiter for the crappy service they glued down anything that was touching the table... Including the penny.

[talks_to_nisse]

Your parents sound like my idols.

[whiskey_sunday]

psh. if i tried pulling that shit i would get the crap beaten out of me...

but fighting at school was acceptable >.>
"i'm telling you mom!"
"She already knows :]

Re: you can only do so much with normal parents living in southern cali... no cows...

[talks_to_nisse]

Oh of course. Do as i say and not as i do and all.

I never got in fistfights at school, but we had a few wars on the dl.

[man_nav_naudas]

S-since it's only fair to honor my Dad's side of the family:

Grandpapa who-art-still living was... a door to door Bra salesman back in the day. What a bra-salesman did back then to sell his wares... is anyone's guess. But apparently they made enough to go on all sorts of cruises.

Something about my dad and hot Swedish tour guides named Ingrid...

[4leaf_charmed]

Door to door bra salesman..... I wonder if he ever got slapped :o

[man_nav_naudas]

The first rule about Bra Selling is that you never talk about Bra Selling.

...seriously, no one ever mentions those days. It's really odd...

[4leaf_charmed]

I thought that was Fight Club which I finally watched like a month ago and was like WOAH MINDFUCK

Maybe because they sucked? Idk
