Good morning,

I'm into repeated questions these days, but the member crowd has changed since I first started doing the QOTD

Sooooooooooooo.

Let's hear one funny story about you

Or if not funny, just an interesting fact.

Thx and have a great day

OK , here is the "family funny story" about me.

Years ago during a hot spell, I made some lemonade. I didn't have a container, so I rinsed out a soda bottle, 2 liter, and put it in there. For whatever reason, the bottle ended up on the floor next to the fridge cuz that is where we kept empties.

A ladys car broke down and I let her in to use the phone, next to the fridge. Well no sooner had she left, when there was a huge explosion! The kids were outside and they thought I shot my father! Now, why they would think that, I don't know.
I loved my dad!
But it was just like a gun going off. My dad ran in and none of us could tell where it came from. The lady must have thought we shot at her! Oh my gosh, we laugh at this all the time now.
I kid them at the notion that I shot dad. We didn't even own a gun! Dad got such a kick out of it too.

It took a while before we found out what it was. Checked the furnace, nothing. It turned out the lemonade had furmented and had exploded. Nothing left but a bottle cap!

Thank goodness it didn't explode with the strange woman next to it on the phone. We could have been is a heap of trouble!


My family has been instructed to tell this at my funeral!

Ahahahaha that's awesome about the lemonade exploding


I have a WILD imagination, especially at night time. I'm the type at the age of 28 that still jumps from the door way to the bed because Im scared there's "monsters" under my bed


So one night I am getting up to get the babies bottle of out of the fridge in the middle of the night when I looked at the kitchen door which is to the right of the fridge and I seen the grim reaper looking back at me....I screamed, dropped the bottle and ran for my bed!!!!!

Yelling at Craig that the grim reaper is at the kitchen door and that I am not going back out there for nothing, he had to get up and get the baby and the bottle since I wasn't getting out of bed.
Well the hext day I realized it was my own greasy face print in the door
I have a bad habit of squishing my face into the dor when I'm waiting for someone (such as Craig coming home from work) or making funny faces at someone outside....

I don't think I've ever lived that down...scared of my own face print...Ahahahaha

A strange family fact, huh? How about the fact that every new baby in the family poops on me the first time I hold them? True, and also somewhat nasty (I'm talking actual diaper leakage)

For a number of Wall Street scandals, I've seen quite a bit with my own eyes and ears, simply by virtue of being a subordinate to the subordinates of the guilty, in a "Forrest Gump" kind of way. (I worked on Wall Street from 1996-2005) My then-boss's bosses were eventually convicted, fined and temporarily banned from Wall Street after the government investigated the IBD-equity research scandal (also known to some as the cheerleaders scandal or the pied pipers scandal, but the mainstream public wasn't too enraged over it due to the dot-bomb fiasco of early 2000).
