One time Kevin and I were staying the night at my Grandma Dot's house in Florida. Kevin and I slept in her bed and she slept in the middle. At one point in the night one of us wet the bed. Grandma turned the other way and then the other one of us peed on her! I don't know the exact details of what happened but it is just a funny story that has stood the test of time.

One time Todd Bauer and I pranked Sara Treder, who I liked back when I was in tenth grade.  It was quite a lame prank call.  Todd said "Would you like to buy a magazine?!" in this really strange voice.  All she said was "What?" and that was it.  We had recorded the prank on the computer though and we would play it over and over.  I think I even had it set up so that, when Windows 3.1 booted up, it played the wav file of the prank.  We were such dorks.  I wish I still had the wav file.  I wouldn't be able to post it though - the memory crawler needs to add audio media capability ;)

Back when I was in 10th grade I biked practically every day up to Kim Deacon or Ashley Halleran's house or to Music Master. I was growing my hair out and it was almost shoulder length. I wasn't quite a skater because I couldn't skateboard - I was what was called a poser.

Anyway, I was biking one day down Snowapple as I usually do and this G-Dawg yells out "Freak" to me. I took offense because I really didn't think I looked like a freak. I think I cut my hair really short that summer.

Back in the dizzay our family would drive up to Suttons Bay each summer.  Suttons Bay is just south of Traverse City, I believe.  That is where John and Derek lived.  They are Bill Conrad's kids and Bill is one of my dad's best friends.

I remember one year that we bought these toys from Kmart or something.  They were little hollow, round, squishy balls that had a hole in them so you could use them as squirt guns.  The strange thing was that they were faces of horror movie characters.  I had one of Jason from the "Friday the 13th" series and one of Freddie from the "Nightmare on Elm Street" series.  I used to watch those movies a lot as a kid - disturbing huh?  But somehow the squirt guns were good clean fun.

I think that we lost the Freddie toy in Lake Michigan.

One time at our house in birdland, Kevin and I were shovelling in front of the house. We had these small, cheap red metal shovels with wooden sticks and a red plastic handles. Kevin must have been shovelling near me because he brought his shovel back and poked me in the eye. I remember crying and making my way up to the front door and that I was crying blood. I guess that Kevin just missed my eye.
I remember going to Dr. O'Neil's office before it was at Clarkston Medical Group and getting some stitches. I was laying down and I remember feeling something really cold touching my eye.
