My siblings also used to "check" any dessert (esp ice cream) I was eating to "make sure it was not poisoned" and then eat half of it. Although I suppose that was better than when they made me chocolate milk and added some Tabasco sauce with the chocolate syrup. Kind of scary that they ended up having kids of their own, because looking back, they might be sociopaths.

I got back at my sibs by buying their kids the most obnoxious noise-making toys I could find.

Your family could afford dessert??!?

 

in Chief's day... They had to make their own. 

 

They'd walk miles to retrieve little grains of sugar that were spilled by coffee drinkers at a diner 3 miles from home. They'd brush off the counter and walk through snow and rain and sunshine to bring back little bits of sugar and they did this every day until they had enough Sugar to make a pie.

 

They'd bake the pie and set it on the window ledge to cool. 

 

And Yogi Bear would come by and steal it... much to Boo Boo and Ranger Bob's Chagrin. 

 

It's rough in the wild

Rumor has it there was an open offer from my grandpa to pay for bag pipe lessons for any of us grandkids.I'm still surprised i didn't hear of it until after i'd left the nest...

I want to take some bagpipe lessons. Scottish bagpipes.

I was going to answer 'Who are Keith Moon and Ginger Baker?' but decided to just let you go with it, too.

  Crazy, Keith Baker is my favorite Christian artist.
