I have a rather boring life, but I'll try . . .
- The time I won against my dad when I was playing ping-pong (and I was terrible at it)
- The two times my dad let my younger (way younger) sister watch a movie with some pretty nasty fluffs in it
- The time I though I was going to get a concussion because I fell down two stairs (I was in midair)
- The time I tried to convince my best friend on the CB (MelodicAuthor, I call her HarmonicArtist) to make a "Hi, I'm new" thread and I realized that she already made one when I was on vacation.
- The time a saw a dead hawk (a broad-winged hawk) in our backyard. (I never dared to sit on our patio couch again)*
* This was rather recent.
