I hope everyone had a restful holiday weekend. One that was not only a time to spend with your family but also to reflect on what the day truly means. And with that said, now it's back to the daily grind but thankfully we've got True Story Tuesday to help us get back in the swing of things. So thank you Rachel and Mr. Daddy for helping us get through this four-day work week. Surely you know what True Story Tuesday is, don’t you? It’s a lovely carnival where you can share your humorous, touching, possibly humiliating and mostly true stories we all have. After you read this head over there and read what everyone has shared. You may even have one of your own you’d like to tell.
I’ve written many times about how my family was made up of four children quite close in age and the crazy, wild antics that happened. Mostly because of the two middle children – the twin boys. This story is about one of those times.
My brothers discovered you could slide your bicycle into the storm drains and then yourself down there and cruise all through the storm systems under the streets. Oh yes they did.
One time they did this and then while having a conversation about the things only two boys born 11 minutes about could talk about, they apparently were close to the actual opening. Where an older woman was there to throw her mop water down the drain. EEEEKKKK!!! They scared the bejeezus out of this poor lady. Here is she trying to finish up her housework and hears these voices talking in her ditch – hello! Who wouldn’t be startled to say the least. I can’t remember if she called the police or just yelled at them directly but somehow the parentals did find out and I’m not 100% sure but can with some certainty say I don’t think those boys did that ever again.
Now, the time the put the frog in the silverware drawer and it jumped out when momma opened the drawer would be another story.
So would the time they put a cat in the water heater closet. Overnight. Yeah, the cat that wasn't ours.
Is the craziness starting to make any sense yet?

LOL...this sounds like something boys do! Reminds me of my brother's antics T that age so much :)
I think I would get on well with your brothers...LOL
Too funny!
I could see my boys doing things like this...that wouldn't be funny, though.
Your brothers are hilarious. I just hope my boys aren't like that! ;-)
It would be fun to grow up with that kind of craziness as a kid. But Lord help your poor momma. My kids get a little crazy at times and that's why I need tequila.
And these are just a few reasons why I love boys so much! They are such a hoot.
I'm laughing at your story but as a mom of 2 boys I'm a little concerned, too. :)
Holy cow! They sound like trouble! But always good for a story and a laugh.
And to think I complained when my brother threw me in the irrigation ditch? Your brothers really were a handful!
Wow I thought I did crazy things as a child!
I'd totally take that stuff over the tween girl hormones right this very second. I shit you not.
Oh Lordy... they sound like TROUBLE! I don't even know what I'd do if I thought I heard voices in the storm drain.
Oh wait, I'm deaf. There's a LOT more wrong if I'm hearing voices period... hee hee!
Thanks for linking up! Your family always cracks me up :)
