I would yell down to them 10,20,30 or more times, "Goodnight mom and dad." And they would always patiently yell back, "Goodnight, Nicky." This continued until I was 7 or 8. My siblings weren't so understanding or patient. ndspinellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01446291993043775612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717986195212622043.post-26663122114395093942017-03-29T19:20:36.513-04:002017-03-29T19:20:36.513-04:00The mummy.

To this day I don't consider my fear of <i>The Chink Within</i> to have been irrational. Some instinct told me to race past his door. So I did! <br /><br />I didn't have a fear of sidewalk cracks. Sometimes I stepped between the cracks. Other times I hopped from crack to crack. We had slate and concrete sidewalks in the neighborhood. I was big on sidewalks as a kid. ricpichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01321511130788764861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717986195212622043.post-29678139382957190042017-03-29T17:56:01.323-04:002017-03-29T17:56:01.323-04:00Mondale had a chance.Mondale had a chance.Lelandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09531159384688653131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717986195212622043.post-36120023701024315242017-03-29T17:55:20.575-04:002017-03-29T17:55:20.575-04:00I've must've had some but since I'm no...I've must've had some but since I'm not remembering any it could mean they may have been fleeting.Lem the artificially intelligent https://www.blogger.com/profile/03569712564034666751noreply@blogger.com
