Cont. one of the first organizers of the pin meet.. he is now w/ Universal, and acting

Matt...that is nothing, sometime when you have an hour, I could tell you stories
of some of the torment he has put those girls through...but they say, what doesn't
kill you, makes you strong... needless to say he keeps them on their toes, and they love it never
a dull moment. here..

Judy Sue, I wish she could only drive in GA or anywhere but here, now before I get

Thats nothing we once got them up at 4 in the morning, convinced them they were late for school, got them dressed they ate breakfeast, and were out the door before they realized the sun was not even out yet. then they looked at the clock boy were they mad.

We thought it was great.

Then there was the Saturday I actually took them to school and told them it was friday.

I'm supprised they still speak to us.

[ismetoo]

Yup, they're all tormented all-right! It's a feature of being our children. It's constant, "you never know what's coming next" torment. But they do the same to us! Keeps us together - and, yes, there *ARE* stories we could tell. Like how they'd wake up at 1 am, in the air, just before they landed in the pool....

 

[BeautyLLM]

OMG!!!! You guys are too funny! Someone was tossed into the pool asleep? Yikes!!

Happy Birthday Crystal! It was good to meet you and your sisters and Mom and Dad finally!

[Dom13]

Boy! and I thought waking up with an ice cube on your back was cruel!! Guess I am still in the minor leagues here.

 

[ismetoo]

...and there's a lot more where that came from...

We've pulled April Fool's pranks to rival anything you've seen on Candid Camera!!

 

[Kim in TN]

Lets hear more you guys are too funny
Please!

 

[GotAnyPins]

How to raise beautiful bright abnormal children...but I can't get them to go along
w/ me..

Kind of a tell all book...only most people would think it was fiction..

then there was the one about the Lie Dectector...remember Heather?? (merme)

[Tinkerbel129]

Happy Birthday Crystal!!!

 

[Raulandpinboy]

Then there was the kamikaze attack in the shower with mustard jello, and flour. Oh and the garden hose in the bedroom.

But the best was two the lie detector, and the unexpected swim at 4 in the morning.


Its not child abuse it made them strong and they grew up clean, we stand by our results.

 

[ismetoo]

Oh, and then there's the infamous Jeopardy Game!! Raul's mom is still choking over that one..

and the time the CDC quarantined the 3 girls right before the big NASA field trip....

and how 'bout waking up to find your ankles taped together?

 

[ismetoo]

...and let's not forget the time that Brooke (PoohTrader) begged Poppy to dunk her head in the toilet!!!

 

[pintrader]

Sorry I am late but I have not been on the boards since the end of February. I know it had to be another fun event in the Little household.

 

[chef's wife]

I am going to vote for you for father, grandfather, and grandfather-in-law of the year Pinboy!
That's what kids need, more tormenting and harrasment so they realize what a beautiful
life we have; having fun at their expense.
It will also keep many psychologysts in pins!
What does Dr. Spock know anyway? He's got no kids right?

[yardhaunter]

There's more.
LOTS more.

See, many folks subscribe to the theory that their kids will get their come-uppance when THEY have kids.

Well, we want ours NOW. They can collect when they can.


One Christmas, we sent her on a clue hunt - you know, those "Under a can of your favorite stew, this is where you'll find your next clue" sort of things... after tearing through the house for a while, she hit the closet with the BIG box... all nicely wrapped. Inside? Of course, more boxes, each individually wrapped, for 6 or 7, maybe 10, boxes, until she got to a small, jewelry-type box.

Inside it? A note.


On the note?


"Sorry, not a winner. Play Christmas Treasure Hunt again."



She loved it.

Of course, that was the year that she got contact lenses for Christmas.
