Aisle Police

I just got back from a trip last night to the grocery store with Nana. Nana is Stan's Mom. I either call her Bev or Nana, depending on the conversation. To steal from my full sentence friend, Di, I present a yet unnamed list.

1. Everyone in my family (Nana included) considers the candy aisle at the grocery store free game. I can remember taking my Dad to the grocery store and he is stuffing Whoppers in his mouth like a squirrel. Nana was giving him a run for his money today. I think they need to weigh any member of my family as they leave. Needless to say, I don't buy bulk candy at the HT .

2. Wendy, Mom and I have the same knees. I look more like Mom than Wendy, but we all have this flap of skin above our knees that we can fold over.

3. If you were at Mom and Dad's wedding, and ate the Cole slaw, you ate part of my Dad's finger.

4. We had a horse named Leroy Brown.

5. I have slept on the same pillow for 43 years. This pillow was actually Mom's growing up. I think it has 3 feathers left in it and 8 pillow covers on it.

6. Wendy is well known for cutting the hair off dolls. I think she still does this on the side if asked nicely.

7. When Wendy got married, I was pregnant with Zach. She just thought I was getting fat and was mad at me because "I kept eating and Mrs. Cleary had to keep letting out my dress." [I put on 60 lbs with Zach - 40 in the first 5 months.]

Feel free to add to this....
