- As a child, I really wanted to be Big Bird. Seeing as how I'm 6ft tall, I count this as an accomplishment. Don't ask me to get on rollerskates though.
- I knew from an early age I wanted to play the saxophone. For a brief minute, I wanted to be the next Kenny G. Then I learned how much he sucked.
- I loved country music between the ages of 3-5. I actually remember sitting in the backseat of my grandparent's Buick singing such hits as "Elvira" and "Island's in the Stream". Once I realized how much country sucks, I became the huge music snob that I am now.
- I've always had a quick wit. I pretty much got that from both sides of my family, but my paternal grandfather and I always used to joke that we taught each other how to laugh.
- I've skinned my knees so much that I actually have significant nerve damage in my right knee.
- I once tried to dig a hole to China in my pre-school sandbox. Took me about 15 years to actually get there.
- I got sent to the Principal's Office in Kindergarten for refusing to say my ABC's in class. When my mom was called, she asked me why I wouldn't say my ABC's in class, but wouldn't stop saying them at home. I told my mom that if I told the ABC's to my teacher, she would never learn them herself.
- All of my biggest embarrassing moments are related to my band days. No, I don't count being a Band Geek as an embarrassing moment! :-p
- I used to applaud in church after a musical performance. This was a no-no in my Presbyterian church, but I did it anyway.

You forgot to add that in the first grade, at my first parent/teacher conference, your teacher told me that things were going better in the class now that you knew that you were the student and she was the teacher - instead of the other way around!!
Or when, after receiving an award in grade school for volunteering to give up one recess period each day to help out with Autistic children in your "magnet" school, and I asked you why you had never told me that you were doing this, you replied: "I didn't do it for you, I did it for me. If I'd have wanted you to know about it, I'd have told you."
Or the time of the GREAT FLOOD where you invited the local TV camera crew into your dad's and step-mom's home so that they could record the raging River way over crest stage~~
Need I continue, or will you be sending me the chocolates as a bribe to stop now?????
I will neither confirm nor deny the comments made by the woman known as "Carolyn", a.k.a. "Mom".
