The Old Folks Home

Nothing helpful here, except a funny story.

My sister was potty trained using M&M's as a bribe. When I came along my parents thought: This will be easy. They attempted to bribe me with M&Ms. I told them where they could stick that (so to speak).

My parents couldn't figure out what to bribe me with. One day we're out on the porch and I asked my dad for a sip of his beer. I always used to take a sip from his beer (just a sip). A light bulb went off over his head, and he told me to get in the truck. We went to the liquor store. He took me to the beer section and told me to pick out whatever I wanted.

I got Rolling Rock, pony bottles. We got home, my dad cleared out a spot in the fridge, and told me if I peed in the toilet, I could have a beer.

I ran off to the toilet.

The rest is history.

No wonder you are a Super Chemical Girl! That is the funniest story I have heard in a long time!

Unfortunately I think the US has changed so much that that story couldn't happen nowadays without someone calling CPS.

I also have a great story about my first word - my sisters was "dada" - mine was a four letter word for feces. I was a "slow" child and didn't talk much. The pediatrician had told my parents that I was probably mentally retarded. A couple weeks later my mom slammed her finger in a drawer in the kitchen, said the word, and I repeated it, clearly. And I didn't stop saying it. My parents were thrilled... that I was talking.
