My mom was very opinionated. If she didn't like someone, she was VERY obvious about it to the point and beyond of rude.
My dad used to buy all the band candy we brought home. We'd bring home more, and he'd buy that, too. I wish he'd have told us to stop bringing it home. I was just excited about selling so much candy. Our pantry was filled with boxes of band candy.

One night my parents went out and my sister and Grandma went outside and scratched at the windows of the living room, where I was reading. Scared me into the hall closet; they both thought they were real funny.
my father came and got me and my sister from a community she we were about 15 years old. we were dancing and somebody ran over and said your dad is here to get you. he had a big boxy truck and my sister was embarrassed and ducked down as he drove off. it kind of tickled me, but my dad was strict. she we got home my sister climbed out the window and went back to the center. my dad had two fits. my mother embarrassed us when we had kids over and it was dinner time. she would tell the kids, it's dinner time so you guys have to go home now. my mom had 8 kids, so i guess she felt that was enough to feed.

I remember those times when I had friends over to play and they were asked to leave at dinner time. I never could understand why they could't stay and eat dinner with us.
I understand now! (*~*)
Once we (my brother and I) were eating out with my mom and as I was being quite stupidly drinking from a glass I consequently spilled the whole thing onto the table. This irritated my mom so much that she pushed glass , ice and water into my lap. I think the waiter felt sorry for me.....
