Five Lies You Will Never Hear My Mother Tell About Me

This post came to me from nowhere.  My mom is not inclined to lie about me.  But it seems funny to me now to write this:

  1. Randy was always clean and organized, his room was always tidy, I never had to remind him
  2. Randy has always been a good manager of his money, he never spent his money frivolously on baseball cards
  3. Randy never said anything embarrassing with his mouth such as calling his grandmother fat
  4. Randy was such a mild-mannered child and always obeyed
  5. Randy always finished things he was supposed to do, like homework, chores and writing thank you cards

The truth is that I was a pig until I finally moved out and then I was still a pig until we had people over, then we figured out that my pigginess was probably a bad thing.  I’ve never been a good manager of money and am now reaping the rewards of that.  I’ve said so many stupid things in my life its just amazing I’m still alive.  I’ve had a strong opinion about everything, except for politics and religion.  I would disobey my mom like crazy, but my dad had me good & scared 🙂 [ok, not that scared].  I never finished many, many things, the last big thing I never finished was my parent’s house getting painted.  I owed them money for a small car accident (the other car was small compared to the Suburban), when my brother bought the house from my parents… he wasn’t happy with me either 🙂
