memory lane Monday as per Lindsey. turned in to moral of the story monday since this isn't really a memory.
hmmm memory, well here is one that i have recently relived! ah! and why would i admit this? because there is a lesson to be learned from it. a moral to the story. I'll be sure to highlight that part so you don't miss it.
my memory involves a guy i was kind of new to dating, seems like i lacked judgment in all thing related to boys and dating. so this boy i had met at the Saturday night dances . well at some point we went on a group date, to the movies and there were younger siblings invited to tag along. or something like chaperon? i really am fuzzy on on the details. so if the younger sibling, sidekick or an older sidekicks sibling would fill in the blanks for me from their perspective I'd love to hear it. you have my email.
anyway I was horrified to be reminded at some point in this outing to the movies i made out with "My boyfriend" and i am not even sure he was my boyfriend, maybe just a date at that point, we did eventually become boyfriend/girlfriend later along my dating years. but i seem to remember i wasn't really old enough to date, so i don't think he was officially my boyfriend. thus the group date.
long story to get to the whole real memory- i made out with a guy at the movies in front of his younger brother, his sidekick, and his sidekicks younger brother, in the minimum, I think i had a friend there, and her sibling, and maybe my younger sister? and almost definitely the twin of the boyfriend. probably 7 people. gosh i was so dumb, and apparently it never occurred to me that 1 anyone noticed the making out/kissing. 2 that anyone would remember and 3 that it would comeback to haunt me 15 plus years later, when i met a blog friend in real life. so again sorry to that family, and the sidekick, and the sibling for educating him on making out in the movies! i swear it was just the one time. and now i shall drill it into my children's head that they should never do anything like that ever in their lives! that they will learn from my mistakes. and i really did appreciate remembering my stupidity, so i can remember to teach them it isn't smart to make out in the movies anyway, much less, in front of younger siblings or their friends younger siblings. even if of they are sitting in the row in front of you, they will still take note, and catalog that memory. HORRIFYING!
**moral of the story:**expect to be reminded of your stupidity at some point in your life. and probably when you least expect it.
i think this probably my only installment of memory lane Monday, since i can't remember much that didn't involve boys after the age of 12. and almost all of them i remember i was not the swiftest person. but my perspective of myself was lacking.

Love that moral. I too am reminded of things like that...like the time I set the microwave popcorn on fire at my mom's school while she was in a meeting and set off the fire alarm and then hid in the bathroom until the custodian came and found me...
Good times!
Wow! What an exabitionist. Who would have thunk it?
How embarrassing! You gotta admit it makes for a good laugh now! :) Probably to anyone who didn't live it. :) Your'e too funny!!
LOL! I agree with Dendi, it makes for a great story now!
Tooo funny!! Your kids are going to love this story, and yes it will more than likey have the desired effect:):)
Yeah, the one time I made out in a movie it was on a first date with a kid that worked at 31 Flavors with Vic - First Date & Last Date with that one. I was probably 14 and so stupid that I gave him a ton of hickeys!!!! He was probably grounded for a month. Oops.

Oh, I am soooo sorry that I have caused you to stress about this! Don't worry - he's not scarred for life or anything! lol! I too have done some pretty mortifying things in my life and I cringe to even think about them. I really hope that I am not EVER reminded of them because I will probably turn red and start crying. Oh fun times, I guess I should have known better than to bring it up. Sorry. :I
How funny!!! And yeah, I have some stories that I hate to be reminded of now, too.
no April, really , i am glad you told me. better now than when I've known you a long time. i really had forgotten. but would love to hear Reeds story and Joel's for that matter. poor guys. exposed to that. not cute i am sure.
i think everyone has something like that. i remember my brother and sisters used to sneak into whatever room i was in a spy on me and my boyfriend (hope they don't remember too much);)
I think we all have a few things from our past that we would love to keep silent! I do love your story & find it funny that your big sis made out at the movies about the same age as you!
