Precious Family Memories, Quirks -- Share Here! by firestar(f): 11:45am On Oct 10, 2008 |
This memory brings a smile to my lips: My little cousin 'Bee-Bee' with large almond eyes, dimpled cheeks and with unbelievable energy. Not talk of never- ending questions! Try as I might, I could never answer them all at once - with her bouncing on my knees!! ''Aunty, where are you going? Can I come? Would you buy sweet for me?'' Come to think of it, I kind of miss her. *Grins* |

making up crazy sounding words for everyday things making up code names for people confusing friends with our very similar voices playing zuma (both my parents love to play zuma!) i've got friends whose 2 1/2 yr old girl could gargle very well, and has the cutest, stubbornest 'no!' i ever heard. she's also a notorious bully! |

The exploring trips we always went on, begin the day disappearing from home and come back home to beatings for making our parents (esp momsi) worry The games we played that didn't register in our innocent minds that they were bloody dangerous The picnics we had, climbing up the rocks playing indians and cowboys Wearing pant/socks and towel tied on the neck and feeling like WWE superstars How we tried imitating superman, climbing high and jumping expecting to fly but ended up breaking and spraining things We also imitated spiderman, climbing the hallways and outside of our house, then jumping from one building to the next Riding the bike all day, around town till our butts were sore . Trying some stunts on the bike and yes breaking and spraining things. Which usually ends with our parents beating and giving us 'the talk' Have alot of mad memories made with my brothers We mostly had adventures growing up. |

Lovely! Keep them coming! Pillow and sock fights on restless nights. . . I would play detective in school: lining my waterbottle's outter rim with pepper so I'll know who stole a drink *laughs wickedly* and sip using a straw. 1 Like 1 Share |

Joking aroun with one anoher until the other person cries. Playing with water gun in Liberia with friends until their dad comming home and we run and hide. Stealing Byicles from The White People house on ELWA beach. Going to the well to draw water while speeding with the wheelbarrow. Fighting over the computer when we first got it. LIFE IS GOOD!!! |

confusing people about my relationship with my siblings e.g my elder sister is a far removed cousin today, my twin tomorrow, and the housegirl the next day; asking who they think is older between me and my eldest and laughing when they usually fail (they think i'm older than my eldest sis). claiming we come from calabar. pretending not to understand igbo, especially when shopping (trust me, u get to find out their cost price when they think u don't understand) if a guy was bugging one of us girls, we'd give my bro the phone to answer the next call and introduce himself as our hubby or bf, or someone else would pick and tell him to shove off. most importantly, when someone's been flashing one of us silly, we combine phones and flash them to death!!! |

i remember the very first time my dad taught me how to shoot, handle and clean a gun back in Peter Island. i remember him saying "hold it tight against your shoulder so it doesn't kick you." It was after the gun hit me on the chin I understood what "kick" mean. I think we would have made a great crime solving team. Me with my gun and he with his gun and machette . HAHAHAHA Make me want to listen his favorite song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_ODwq7jm3E |

I loved birthdays in my house. Eeveryone got up before the birthday boy/girl and then woke them up singing 'happy birthday to you' and bearing gifts/cards. Even when you woke up first on your birthday, you pretended to be asleep so the whole family could surprise you . 1 Like |

The moonlight dances with my mom! Oh dia!!! Fun memories. All the folklore songs she taught us. We held on to each other's waists like a choo-choo train while singing and dancing all over the compound. I still remember some of those songs. I sing 'em to my daughters too. "Jimonika Jimonika River" was one of 'em! 1 Like |
