I have alot of good memories growing up with my grandma but only one stuck out at the time. It wasnt so funny but when i think back it makes me laugh. When i was about 14 me and my younger sisters went with my grandma to the park in October to make dummies with the leaves then afterwards she would rake them up and let us jump into them.Well not realizing it i jumped into the pile and stood up with dog poop all over me.I never seen my grandma laugh so hard but i didnt think it was funny at first i wanted to cry. I went into the bathroom and washed off so i was able to get back into the car and head home. On the way home i joined in on the laughing and that day stuck with me ever since. i laugh out of the blue when i see leaves or when i see kids jumping into them. I miss you grandma.

I remember as a child my mom fell off a step that led into our kitchen. I was only 8 yrs old and I thought it was funny and laughed not realizing she got hurt. She yelled at me and as usual I took refuge on my swing, (that was my hideaway,lol). I was out there a while (but seemed like an eternity) crying because I realized mom got hurt and I laughed. I was feeling really bad about it. Mom must have felt bad for yelling as all of a sudden she`s in the doorway saying, "I guess since you don`t want to come in I will have to eat all these cookies alone", and she had a tray of warm cookies and two glasses of milk. I smiled and ran into the house and we sat and ate cookies and drank milk together and then went outside and squirted each other with the hose. Nothing else was ever mentioned about falling!
