kbobam Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 Holy cow. Was just about to compliment Ann on her brilliantly-twisted brain, but now she's not the only one. ( : (Glad to see these terrific answers. The original question was causing me great mental anguish.) Lloyd, that guy looks like the one person who's always in family photos who insists "I am smiling, dammit!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steph Posted June 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 When I was nine, I rode my bike and kept riding and found a 7-11. Bought some candy. And in walked my mother. She was soooooo mad. My punishment was that I had to ride back home. And I got lost. I was terrified. I have no sense of direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbobam Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 This is like a nice bedtime story with a cliff-hanger. And I'm not going to sleep until I know if you ever made it home! ♪ You can't make me... You can't make me... ♪ And what kind of candy did you get?

Steph Posted June 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 I finally made it. Took forever. Well past dark. I cried a lot. When I was 9, I had already lived in 14 places. And I kept moving often after that. I never really figured out where I was. If I did actually get the candy, possibly tart n' tinies. Good chance some of those little plastic fruits with powder inside. Maybe wax soda bottles. Maybe sugar babies. Those were some of my favorites at the time. But now that I think about it a little more I probably didn't get to have any of the candy. Might not have made it as far as actually paying for it before I was busted.

kbobam Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 Wax soda bottles! Haven't thought about them in a while! What a ridiculous concept. But somehow it made sense at the time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted June 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 Oh yeah, candy cigarettes were also an option at the time. Wintergreen flavor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
