good morning campers!..happy april fools day!!!....go eat some brownies...or brown e's....ha ha.......hope all is well with everyone!....so i had a post about all that's going on in our world right now, but decided to nix it and instead give you a fun filled story about "my world and welcome to it"...thanks to james thurber for that little quote....some of you might remember that......so sit back, well sit up cause you gotta read, well you could always sit back, or lay down and hold the laptop or whatever over your head and read,.... of course when i do that, with a book, i sometimes get tired and the book falls on my face, so a laptop might leave a dent....in your head......no good can come from that....anyway....here goes
well, i have no idea what i'm gonna write about...ha ha.....usually i just start and something comes to me.........like pork chops!......ok....so when i was in high school.... well even before that....rewind to elementary school age..........so, i never liked the taste of meat......ok maybe bacon and hamburgers....but not much else.......up north casseroles are a big thing......throw everything together and call it a dish...yum.....not......down south there are alot of different dishes and vinegar is very popular to pour over greens......which wilted cooked greens is kinda disgusting too......so besides our casseroles, our mom would make things like fish sticks....gross.....gag.....i guess that was the tv dinner of the day.....flounder...ok more disgusting...what is it with fish in ohio?.....anyway, when we lived in columbus, i would always be the last one at the table cause our mom would say "you can't get up till you finish all the food on your plate"......so of course the meat was always the last thing on my plate....everyone has left the table, i waited a sufficent amount of time to say i gagged it down...and then pushed the screen out in the window and fed the dog....."look mom , i'm done!"......i'm guessing she had to have known but probably was tired of dealing with me.......i don't know why, i was an angel.........anyway, our dog got very fat...... i should have been a vegetarian, but back then i didn't even know what that was............so fast forward to high school....bypass middle school, (ha ha i just wrote missle school instead of middle school....that would have been an interesting couple of years) ....anyway...middle school....no good came from that......being 13 was a bad year for me ........so high school years...i'm still avoiding eating any meat....by now i have heard of vegetarians......so i tried to convince my mom to let me become one....she probably thought i would die of starvation or turn into a hippie and join a commune......ya know, that really has it's good points......but anyway......so my mom, my evil older sister, and bratty baby brother (who got to eat chocolate chip cookies all the time cause he's the baby) were eating dinner.... my dad was already finished and off doing whatever dad's do......so they were all finished eating ...yeah, pork chops......wait a minute, i think i just threw up a little in my mouth...ewww..........anyway, our mom was yelling at me to finish eating cause everyone else was done and they were waiting on me....why , i have no idea....cause i was also the dish washer so it wasn't like they needed my dish....remember i was the middle child ....who did everything....... ...anyway...my mom is getting madder and madder so i finally (my evil older sister who is reading this is laughing hysterically right now)......get the nerve to cut into the pork chop.....i really can relive this everytime, and it's still traumatic........i put the knife into the pork chop and my evil older sister leans over and says.... "oink"...........yeah........there aren't even words to describe the chaos that ensued after that.......pork chops flying, chairs falling, drinks spilled, plates breaking, i'm completely traumatized, in tears, running to my room, my evil older sister is laughing hysterically falling off her chair, my mom is probably doing the same thing...i'm sure, my bratty baby brother is still eating chocolate chip cookies, oblivious, my dad is still doing his dad thing............good times........... after the pc incident (we don't speak of it too much, well i usually don't).....my mom took me to the doctor (not the shrink, just a medical doc, shrink came later) to make sure i wouldn't die if i became a vegetarian.....i think at that point , me becoming a hippie on a commune would have been a plus for her.......so i've been a veggie since 78.....yes the evil older sister still says "oink" in passing to me at times.....because she is the evil older sister........and my bratty baby brother still gets chocolate chip cookies anytime he wants.......life is good!....be groovy!
