I was a wild, untamed, outlaw when I was a kid
I was raised by two hard-working parents and thankfully they were not all work & no play. Needless to say, that made me the way I am today!
When I was a kid, however, I was a handful! Not that I was a 'bad kid' by any means, but I was most certainly a rule-breaker. Mischief was my hobby as a kid (especially 6-7 years old in the photo above) and because of that I was always "WANTED" for something I had done!
Whether it was trying to style my younger brother's hair by holding his head in the toilet and flushing it to get that perfect 'swirled' look or going to the grocery store with Mom, loading my pockets with peanuts from the bulk aisle, then hiding in the bathroom eating them while trying to flush peanuts shells. You know it is bad when you recall a childhood bathroom and immediately several things you had done to get in trouble in there..LOL
The photo is a perfect way to describe nearly my entire childhood. I was always doing things that no one had mentioned not to do (yet). Even from a young age, I was pushing the boundaries at home, at school, and department stores...
My mother would take I and my brother out shopping and we would get her blood boiling! We would hide in the racks of clothes and have everyone looking at my mother as she would try to whisper-scream at us to come out immediately. I don't know if you have heard a mother's whisper-scream voice, but that is an "uh-oh" moment when you're a kid.
We knew we would be in trouble when she found us, so we would drag that out far longer than we should have. We would get 'removed' from the clothing racks that we hid in, by our ears, then escorted to the car. That's where the long-arm-of-the-law would come down! We would get 'sentenced' to punishments (chores) and we would beg for mercy!
But... I was an OUTLAW. Never to be tamed! It did not stop there, but maybe I should stop here...LOL
There are plenty more I could go on about - which could honestly be "all the ways I got into trouble series" and end up an entire book series! I was creative then but did not channel that energy 'wisely' all of the time. One thing I can say if you haven't seen it already is that my 'mini-me' (my son) is following in his father's footsteps...
