Crockett

Here is a trend that I'm glad is dead and gone.  Some people have never heard of this "fad" and they are lucky, because it was truly disgusting! 

Growing up, people had more pride.  They had pride not only in themselves, but what they looked like, their appearance.  My mother was very big on social appearances growing up.  So when a rare Sunday trip to church reminded my mother we needed new dress shoes, she wasn't about to send us in our sneakers.  She had other thoughts instead!    

If you're a man, you understand exactly what I was thinking.  In fact, before I even finish this story, you will be saying out loud, "Crockett.  You had no choice BUT to move that fridge!" 

For some reason, and we can't explain it, inanimate objects will "challenge" us.  And we will take these challenges to heart and not let anything stop us!   This was true for me and the snow pile in the street.

I thought I was so smart.  Free Pizza from the Future Christians of America and all I had to do was show up once a month!  Problem was, they were on to me.  Luckily my mom wasnt! 

For anyone out there that has never heard the phrase "birthday suit" it means you are in the nude, naked, comando... Well I was in my birthday suit in an unfortunate situation for everyone involved! 

On national Winnie the Pooh Day, I have a real question burning in my mind.  Who REALLY likes Eeyore the depressed Donkey?  He is always mopping around and it drives me crazy!   

Just like when he was a kid, Crockett was not prepared for picture day.  So much so, he was sent home!  The story is true, and quite frankly, a little bit embarrassing! 

Some fathers try to use the threat, "I'm going to turn this car around!" to make their kids calm down.   My father didn't need ANY threats because he had the ultimate threat... My mother! 

Growing up, my dad had the WORST  or in his mind, the best trick to play on us.  Now that I'm older, I have to agree with him.  It was great.  When I have a kid one day, I will no doubt play this trick on them!
