We played floor hockey in Texas, on the basketball court.



We have different camping gadget things, and big battery boxes to plug the WiFi box into.




When I lived in Galveston it snowed once...same thing. It was a freak snow in the middle of the day. Everything stopped so us kids could go out and look.

My dad said that when he was a kid, he never saw snow. He saw pictures in books, and was sure it was some Yankee conspiracy. Something about them trying to come up with a nice explaination for all of the soot and pollution raining down.

@kwhites634 I actually lived up in MD for almost 5 years.

Have to tell hubby about that...He's always tinkering and finding "other" ways to make things work!

Anyone else not surprised by this ? Only 'Al'.

I haven't known him long enough to feel qualified to voice my opinion on the matter...But it's funny!

Is that not normal?

Don't let it worry ya...When my now 21 yr old son was about that age he was asked where he lives, he said "on the mountain". When asked which mountain he said my mountain! That's all you could get out of him. he's still a man of few words!

Close to DC since my dad taught at Georgetown. We lived in Chevy Chase section 4. What a crazy designation, huh? Never looked up why.

I remember, I think it was in 5th grade, the teacher asked us what state we lived in.... I didn't know. I knew my street address, and I had a great sense of direction, and walked home every day (took about 30 minutes), so in the classroom I pointed what direction my house was in, and said that way.

She was pretty unimpressed.

Teachers tend to be that way; no sense of humor whatsoever. I'm about 40 miles north of CC; about 100 miles too close

yeah, a super built up area, that's for sure!

It was great at Halloween. There was one consulate that was close enough to walk to (no idea what country) and most kids wouldn't trick or treat there. My older sister and I would time our arrival to when the guard would consider the night "over". It was great, he would dump EVERYTHING he had left into our bags. Good stuff too.

Halloween there was serious stuff

More & more cities / towns don't even allow trick or treating these days. Dam shame children have to be robbed of their childhood because of sickoes

'Al', you are almost as normal as me, and that helped reaffirm that opinion.

Bah. Fake hockey.

Is that not normal?

I'd say it's fairly normal. In first grade I took sick at school one day and they decided to take me home. They asked me if I knew where I lived. I said yep, in Texas

Just part of being a kid!
