what?? is that your guess on my class? I'm in religion and image like I always am.

Well, you know me and my memory, Kat....
lol....

*hugs the thread*

Hiya Kirin!

Heh. Just watched a show called World's Strictest Parents... and it's not really about the parents per say, but about out of control british teens who go to live with other families for spell to see how they cope/ change, etc. I dunno why I mention it here other than I thought you guys might find it interesting for a watch..... episodes are on youtube.

How are you all doing?

I'd hate to have to take charge of some of the teens that I've seen around here...

oh me too

Hey Kirin! Good here. Gonna go out and enjoy the sunshine soon.

Seriously. It takes a lot of patience for some people that I don't know if I'd have it if they were being super disrespectful.

Even as a teenager I thought teenagers acted stupid >.< I was nice to people and still had fun/ was a goofball.

I was way too serious.

I think I should have tried to have more fun.

I had a ton of fun, and also got along well with my folks. My oldest siblings on the other hand.... made life stressful when I was a youngin...which is why I was well behaved I think. And I had way more leniency since I wasn't out getting into trouble.

I was the first girl, so my Dad especially was way strict.
My younger sisters had it much easier.

as kids, me and my bros got in equal trouble. I think. now it's just my younger bro. I like to think I was better behaved though, most of the time.

Aaah. Yah. My sister had it way more strict (she's the oldest). But, she got into a lot of trouble too. I am the youngest, with three siblings above me.

My oldest two siblings had lots of trouble with alcohol and various drugs when they were teens.

I really don't think my parents were stricter with anyone....

Mine got a bit of a vay-cay with my and my brother. We got to stay out without a curfew (at least I did) and do more things cause they trusted us not to be doing what my other siblings did.

My oldest brother ran away to join the Navy.
He never finished high school...had to get his GED later.

Oh that's not too bad though. He ran away to do something productive and good. And it's nice that he still finished his education later.

My eldest brother left the marines after bootcamp, with a medical discharge because he hurt his back. My oldest sister found out she could drop out of the national guard after a certain point, so she did.... My brother in law though, he was in the army and stationed in Germany for 5 years.

Wow, Woody...you have a very service-oriented family.

My oldest brother was the only one who went into the service.
My brother a year older than me was fortunate. He drew a good lotto pick, otherwise he would have had to go to Viet Nam.

I think that was my brother trying to clean up his life, and my sister joined after high school. Me and my other brother weren't interested in the armed forces.

My parents weren't involved at all in any military services, they got married young and right out of college.

My parents married during WWII.
Dad was a test pilot in the army, Mom was a bookkeeper.

He was from Detroit, she was from North Dakota, and they met in California.
Go figure.

Hah. Awww. And wow, a test pilot? Thats kinda awesome. My mom and dad were both the only people to show up at a class a professor had cancelled in the winter time. So, he asked her out for a cup of hot cocoa. :3

It's kind of weird the things that could have happened just a little differently, and WE would not be here!

Right?? I like thinking of things like that. If you didn't go to the store that day, or if you didn't pause to tie your shoe...etc.

Even better, my mom had her tubes tied on her third child, my brother. But, the doctor didn't do something correct, and things partially healed annnnnnd whoops! Then came me. She has this long story about how she was so sad after that she wasn't going to have one more child, cause she wanted another girl...laa dee daa. I like teasing her for that one, cause I said it's convenient now to say that since I'm here ;)

That's pretty great.
You were a mistake, and I'm sure it made her really happy!

My sister had 2 boys. She had always said she would have had another kid if she could be sure it would be a girl...
Turns out that it may have been better for her to have a 3rd one after all.
She's down to just the one now.
