OMG It's Like A Giant Sip Up!!

Omg! I was so excited when I saw this. I had to buy it and I wish I had a straw big enough to fit in it cuz I would Ssip right from the container!! Makes me think of fond childhood memories.

When I was little my cousin and I stayed at my grandma's house. We got along pretty well. The extent of our arguments were about toys or who was the bossiest. We were both about even. Our family gave us nicknames. I was Pissy Krissy and she was Picky Nikki. I don't know why I'm blogging about this except for the fact that the Ssips reminded me. Anyway...but my fondest memories of our times at grandmas I will go into description.

Skittles:Grandma used to buy a big bag of Skittles and that was part of our afternoon snack. I would divide all the skittles into colors. If my colors weren't even then I'd make my cousin trade hers w/mine so they would be even. This wasn't an option for her, I demanded it. Poor Nikki would sit there and wait for me to divide my Skittle colors up. Not very patiently, but she would wait and sigh a lot. If she tried to eat one of hers I would yell at her.

Charlie Brown Cookies: Now the memory of these is very faint. The only thing is that I know they were delicious and I wish they still made them. They don't and that I know for sure because I remember crying and thinking life was so unfair when my grandma informed me that she couldn't get them anymore. They were like animal cookies but better. I don't know why they were better but they just were. I was so angry that they didn't make them anymore that I boycotted Charlie Brown for like um well I still don't watch Charlie Brown. So that tells you how mad I was and obviously still am.

Come Flying: Ok I know where 75% of your minds went. But this was a purely innocent game my cousin and I made up. I don't know how or why we made it up. The only explanation I can think of is that we were high off of the sugar and red food dye in the Skittles. But this is how the game went. I would sit in the living room w/my legs out in front of me. Nikki would be in the kitchen. Here is an illistration.

Hey I didn't say it would be a good illustration...

Anyway I would yell “Come Flyin!!!” and Nikki would run towards me and I would grab her and lift her over my head as I fell backwards. Kinda like the lift in Dirty Dancing. But this was way before that, so I can't even credit that for inspiring me. I feel you need another illustration.

Now I have no idea why this was fun for us, but it was and we played it until my arms ached or grandma yelled at us to knock it off. I can't imagine what her and Pap Pap thought as I continuously screamed “Come Flyin!!!”

All of this because of a trip to Giant...yep.
