Kelsey tagged me and so now I'm supposed to list 6 things that most people don't know about me. So here we go:
1. I have 4 fewer teeth than your average adult. When I was in 5th grade (I think) the orthodontist decided that my mouth was far too small for my apparently super huge teeth so he wanted me to get 4 of them yanked before I got braces. This does not include the 4 wisdom teeth I had pulled in high school.
2. I had the chicken pox TWICE. I had a light case when I was a baby and gave them to my mom who was pregnant with Kelsey (Hmmmm... let's ponder that one for a minute). I got them again, this time a bad case, in first grade.
3. I have had hallucinations. When I had the chicken pox in 1st grade my mom gave me Benadryl. We quickly found out that I am allergic to Benadryl. I ended up having lots of hallucinations and I can remember some of them to this day. There was an Indian with a feather on his head dancing around the kitchen, there was a bird flying in the living room, there were covered wagons crossing the street as we drove to the ER, and my personal favorite... while I was talking to my mom I hallucinated that Kelsey was standing next to me and I was telling my mom that Kelsey had stolen my dog watch... Kelsey was at school. My poor mom!
4. I have a scar on my arm from a girl's fingernail while playing in a basketball game. That girl had some claws!
5. I can talk in front of a gym full of thousands of high school kids (while in high school and currently) but am deathly afraid of speaking in sacrament meeting.
6. I have punched a boy. I was in elementary school and I thought this annoying boy who I will call "Doug" was being mean to our neighbor girl. So I walked over to him and punched him in the face. I proceeded to go hide behind the storage shed at the edge of the playground until a "duty" (that's what we called the playground monitor ladies) came to find me. She sent me to the principal's office. I don't remember getting in trouble, though.
So there you have it. I now tag Jenn, Erin, and Kim. (I know you don't have blogs, but you need to and this is my motivation to you to start one. You already have something for your first post!) I also tag Becca, Nicole, and Katie. Get thinking girls!

yeah, I'm so glad you did the tag!! I think i do recall you standing against the wall in elementary school for punching someone. You even knocked one of my teeth out once with a nice blow to the face. Eric better watch out!
Disclaimer for anyone who read Kelsey's comment: We were jumping on her bed and the tooth was already loose (I'm pretty sure). It was a complete accident!! :-)
You had the chicken pox's the 1st time when you were a little over 2. Kelsey was a baby around 7 months old I think. You just had one spot and a fever. When I came down with them really bad that's when we figured out that you had the chicken pox's.
my bad... guess I don't have a very good memory from 1982 :-)
