And now, when we talk with them about their childhood, they come up with the daftest things as the memories they'll never forget. None of them, of course, of the variety manufactured by the husband! They're like those kids who ignore the expensive present, in order to play with the box it came in.Tessahttp://www.nutsandmutton.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14874528.post-64208865821213287302010-03-07T13:42:36.828-03:302010-03-07T13:42:36.828-03:30what wonderful random memories--vibrant, in motion...what wonderful random memories--vibrant, in motion, exciting. the way life should be.lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18055442432266567561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14874528.post-69994901183179272722010-03-07T11:38:39.336-03:302010-03-07T11:38:39.336-03:30I bet it was that 'changing cast of characters...I bet it was that 'changing cast of characters' that enchanted her, almost as much as the ride itself - sharing her experience, excitement and joy with others.

My brother and I must have gone on the Pirate Ship at least ten times over the course of an hour while my parents sat on a bench enjoying not having to go on with us, getting off one side, and running round so that we could get on again for the next one (for some reason, they wouldn't let us stay on the ride each time, even though we were only occasionally sharing with more than two or three other people).<br /><br />My brother was only just the right height to be allowed to ride it, and, to his chagrin, the ride operator measured him every single time!Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17965300148218903639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14874528.post-78499039508082622322010-03-06T22:32:39.436-03:302010-03-06T22:32:39.436-03:30I am surprised she didn't vomit at the end of ...I am surprised she didn't vomit at the end of all those rides? :) This story made me smile...Nevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14695297829881237662noreply@blogger.com
