- Wednesday - the true hump day - Wednesday, May 24, 2006 Hump day... remember when that used to make you giggle and you'd be so embaressed when your parents would say it? Or was that just me? I mean come on, I still giggle a little. Anyway, A & I were talking last night about a few of our fondest childhood memories. As a child I had a penchant for running into my grandmother's wooden furniture - head first. This explains the numerous emergency room visits, and the stitches imprint over my right eye (bet you didn't even notice). Well lo and behold my dear husband - who told me as a baby, yes a baby, he was tottering around his mothers living room... wide open spaces... and fell lip first into the corner of the black wooden table. So he has this lovely little boo-boo from his earlier years. Then we were talking about our childhood beds. Many of my fondest shin scars come from the corners of my bed - yes, those metal bed corners that lived to scar the skin of many a child. Mine got so bad that my mother eventually wrapped the ends with duct tape. A's childhood memories include but aren't limited to crabs being in his room, the largest spider you've ever seen clinging to his ceiling, and of course the random gator sighting - he's from Florida afterall... All this leads me to wonder, if with every generation things are to become safer - what in heaven's name were beds and furniture made out of in the 60's and the 50's? Shrapnel? Broken glass? The bubonic plague? I'm surprised we even made it out of our childhoods during the 70's & 80's...check this list out and see for yourself.
