Now I’m going to go find yours!

*CRIIIIINGES FURIOUSLY!!!!*

My heart goes out to you. Seriously.

Ahh, the belt. Our parents must have had similar ideas about child-rearing “in the faith.” My sincerest condolences to you and your sis.

Kick ASS! As a kid, I would have been terrified of you AND desperate to be friends with you at the same time.

Amen. My summer camps were always cheaper than a babysitter.

I’ve always wanted to be the kind of person to play off farts casually. One time at debate camp (I know), an adult counselor got a fit of the giggles and farted REALLY LOUDLY. Everyone paused, kind of horrified, and she just continued to laugh. When she calmed down, she sand, AT THE TOP OF HER LUNGS: “EEEEverybooody…

Your momma is a rockstar1

I thought Southern Baptist Christian camp was bad, but oh man....

Oh, Jesus: the best reason/method to torture your kids.

As much as I love solid perfume, I would milk the CRAP out of that story. Forever.

Get it Mama Adrastra!!! That is awesome.

Bless my soul have I got a story!

Yay fellow escapee! I absolutely LOVE that you co-opted the only good part about Super Summer. Bra-VO. I’m sure your campers are going to grow up to be happier, healthier adults thanks to you. My former self wants me to assure you that you are doing “God’s work,” but well, you know...;)

Wait, wait, wait. You did SUPER SUMMER?!?!?! SO DID I!!!! I remember stressing so much about being well stocked with color-correct clothing. I bugged my mom SO. MUCH. about it.

My first instinct after reading your story was to verrrrry slowly say, "Yeee-uuuuuup." So maybe I prove the point...

“Before the exam, you were abortion-minded,” the tech told me after the director had left. “Did the ultrasound change your mind?”

I have always loved her work, though my first dip of the to into the swirling sea that is Frida Kahlo was...interesting. I chose her as the subject of a project I did in 5th grade and, being the industrious little student I was, proceeded to check out as many books about her from the local library as they would allow.

Absolutely. She began her self-appointed position of interfering in my love life quite young.

Can I tell a somewhat happier-ending story?
